The Journey - Champion's Classic

[Catzman]

What do we do with frustration. We spit it out and turn it into fight. 🔥🔥🔥. Bars

Let. Him. Cook!

Most excellent...

2 things that caught my eye: First, Brandon Garrison played a whale of a game and has shown quite a bit of improvement from just that first exhibition game to now; I can't wait to see what he's growing into. Second, Cooper Flagg carries the ball every time he handles it. He let's the ball rest in his hand at the top of the dribble for WAY too long, even w/ the lax officiating of ballhandling that's common today

And that was an awful take attempt by Flagg. He was already losing it before Otega went for the strip. He almost just handed the ball to Otega.

Maybe a product of fatigue?

He also dribbled the ball off his leg in the next possession. Our defense was great, but Duke also lost the game for themselves. I love the victory just as much as everyone else, but a couple bad balls could of went the other way and we would be having a totally different conversation. We need to stay humble for now, don't want to get over our heads here.

Pope continues to impress me, he KNEW that it was gonna be Flagg, he was gonna spin into the lane and had our guys ready to strip him

I caught that too. Had a plan. Emphasized it. Players did it. Never heard stuff like for 15 years before.

Ngl, I was in tears by the end. This feels like it did during my childhood. The energy and a real basketball coach

Pope should have made his end of game speech with remember the other team was better than you they just missed open shots and their big got cramps. Use that as extra motivation

This is how you build culture. Pope is building a wonderful foundation and I'm here for it!

UK is back to being UK. My Bengals are back to being the Bungles. Life feels normal again.

Us UK fans feel like a caveman discovering fire watching Pope make adjustments we've not seen our Coach do such a thing!
