The Mark Pope era got started with a bang as the Wildcats took down Kentucky Wesleyan 123-52. Jaxson Robinson led the Wildcats with 19 points. Lamont Butler led the team in rebounds, assists, and steals with six of each. Butler also led the team with two blocks.
This was an exciting way to kick off the Pope era as the Wildcats dominated a team that beat Louisville last season 71-68.Coach Pope wasn't kidding about how many threes the Wildcats would shoot Coach Pope and his players said this team would be shooting 30 to 35 threes a game, and they shot 42 in the win. Kentucky made 21 of them, giving this team a beautiful 50% from three in their first exhibition. The Wildcats could lead the nation in three-point attempts per game, and if they can shoot a good percentage, this team will be hard to beat.Kentucky had 12 steals and five blocks in this game.
This Kentucky team is going to be special when the shots fall, and this team is creating turnovers. The Mark Pope era is here, and it will be special.
