Jeff Borzello@jeffborzello

@JDrumUK Not being in the business I didn’t have any idea what some people were cryptically posting about. That is sad news Jeff, hopefully you’ll still be around here in some capacity, a great reporter/photographer is all of a sudden in the portal!
English
Appreciate all the kind words tonight. You guys are the best, and I truly appreciate all your support over the years. God is good, and sometimes things happen the way they are supposed to happen. I hope to see you around soon! Until then, ✌🏻 #BBN

@UKWildcatsWire @vaughtsviews Chose him because he was a former UK player, simple as that. Mitch overpaid him also the same reason as UNC overpaid an out of work NBA coach, got to pay like you’re a top five program.

@UKWildcatsWire @vaughtsviews Dozens and dozens of coaches out there had the same résumé as Pope, Mitch chose him because he’s a former UK player, simple as that. He was over paid for the same reason that UNC over paid an out of work NBA coach, the top programs have to look like they’re still a top program.
English
@KyleTuckerCBB Overpaid for players this past season, you want him to do it again?
English
That’s a big oof for Mark Pope. Didn’t have enough shooting last season, gonna lose his one shooter.

NEWS: Kentucky guard Collin Chandler has entered the transfer portal, a source tells @247Sports. Averaged 9.7 PPG and shot 41.0% from three.
English
@vaughtsviews @CoachMarkPope @collinchand13r He was asking for quite a bit. If he was UK’s second or third best player next season then I don’t think UK’d be successful enough to keep Pope‘s job.
English
This one has to hurt @CoachMarkPope a lot but guessing BYU money has won out and either Pope or his new GM said no to the dollars that @collinchand13r wanted

BREAKING: Kentucky guard Collin Chander has entered the transfer portal with a "Do Not Contact" tag. Had a very close relationship with Mark Pope, who had recruited him since he was 15, and Kentucky wanted him back, but has a good offer close to home. Averaged 9.7 PPG and 2.3 APG on 41% 3P this past season.
English
@vaughtsviews @KentuckyMBB @collinchand13r Surprised as much as anybody, but by all accounts UK overpaid on players this past season, they don’t need to do it again next season.
English
Hearing from few folks close to @KentuckyMBB that were even surprised by @collinchand13r transfer decision ...
English
@KySportsRadio He thinking 3rd time a charm? Such a risk for Pope's future.
English
My take on Dedan Thomas…he is MORE than good enough to be a top PG on a great team. Led SEC assists before injury and LSU was good when he played
The risk is the injury. And after Butler/Lowe, it’s a real risk.
Would be a GREAT get if he stays healthy. But it’s a risk
English
@kpetit54 @KySportsRadio Idk…they never really felt in danger the whole game and that’s with their best player playing injured
English
Dusty May was such a good hire by Michigan. And they crushed it in the Portal this year
UCONN cover and Michigan win. Perfect result
English
@KySportsRadio For some reason all these close in shots Michigan’s missing look familiar to UK fans
English
This is one of the more physical NCAA games I have seen in two decades
The defense is also great…every shot in the paint is contested
English
@TheFieldOf68 Who knew how important it was to have a daughter on the volleyball team, that swung some votes?

BREAKING: North Carolina hires Michael Malone!!!! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
English
@GoodmanHoops I mean, this score is just as stunning as a 2 seed losing into a 15 seed.
English
Michigan now 6-8 from 3 in the second half, and 11-24 from deep in the game.
No one can beat this Wolverines team if they shoot the ball like this.

@ProfMJCleveland Policy violence? Landlords have bills to pay too, are treated as the bad guy.
English
Or, I don't know, maybe people should pay their bills.
Ayanna Pressley@AyannaPressley
Housing is a human right and evictions are an act of policy violence. My HELP Act would give a lifeline to families facing eviction and vital resources during this time of crisis.

@KyleTuckerCBB The audio quality is leaving a little to be desired.

Braylon Mullins made his last 3-point attempt (you might've heard about it) in the Elite Eight, and his first 3-point attempt in the Final Four.
English
@KSRonX @KySportsRadio Everything? Did they accomplish anything they wanted to accomplish? I guess Pope’s talking about certain games being successful. There’s plenty of coaches out there that leave a lot of building blocks behind after they’re let go.
English
This is how Mark Pope described the 2025-26 season to wrap up the CBS co Kentucky Basketball Confidential.
“We didn’t complete our goal. We didn’t accomplish everything we wanted to accomplish, but this was a beautiful season of growth, and growth is hard and painful and messy and tough. It’s the building blocks of greatness. We fail over and over again so that we can become successful, and that’s what this season was.”

@KySportsRadio Maybe I'm just a 71 year-old basketball Benny, but if UK gets in the final two or three of a high school player and can't close, to me, it has to be the head coach or NIL, or both, not the assistant coaches.
English
@wilnerhotline @tsnmike Interestingly timed, considering UNC may be trying to do the same to Lloyd as this article was being written.
English
How Arizona lured Tommy Lloyd away from Gonzaga (as recounted by the man who made the hire). “People said, 'How can you give the keys to a race car to a guy who has never been a head coach?'” -->
English
@KySportsRadio So UK can earn that much with mediocre results, impressive.
English
Looks like Kentucky earns about $8 million more on Basketball ticket sales than any other school and is one of only 9 schools to earn more from Basketball than Football (tickets only)
English
@vaughtsviews @jensreporting Congratulations, great story on a player there was not enough room for on a team that only played pretty much seven all year.
