Sources Say goes LIVE to preview Mark Pope's first UK/UL rivalry matchup

by:Jack Pilgrim•about 10 hours

It’s the Cats vs. the Cards, Mark Pope’s first head-to-head battle against Pat Kelsey as the head coach at Kentucky. What else is there to say?

UK moved to 9-1 with a win over Colgate — a sleeper coming off an emotional win against Gonzaga and the one we’re getting ready for now, so it’s easy to see how you can go from being up 17-0 to leading by just two at the half and then winning by just 11. It’s time to put that one past us, though, and get ready for the Battle of the Bluegrass, live from Rupp Arena on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. ET.

What do you need to know about the matchup? Sources Say has you covered — down to the minute, actually, as we just sat down with Coach Pope himself to hear his thoughts on the rivalry game. Check out our latest episode LIVE on the KSR YouTube channel below:
