Watch Mark Pope preview Kentucky's next game vs. Alabama
After defending home court against the Aggies, Kentucky is on to Alabama this upcoming weekend, another top-15 matchup for the Wildcats. Saturday’s game is an early one, scheduled for noon in Rupp Arena.
On Thursday, Mark Pope held an invite-only Q&A session on UK’s campus, where he previewed his team’s next game, opponent, and more. The conversation opened with a question about Alabama head coach Nate Oats, to which Pope replied, “What Nate Oats has done at Alabama is incredible, right? All-time great season last year, and he’s, you know, the program is in a great position, and he’s playing a fun style of basketball, and really, really been playing great basketball.”
