Reporter: "Is it different in today's game when you have some teams using 23, 24..." John Calipari: "25, 26, 27, beards, kids in the stands, on their 2nd wife. Yeah, this is a little bit different."

@adamstonevt @5Solas2 @AlwaysKnocking @theblockspot Just a different game then and now. I think Jordan would run the league today easier than he did in the 90s. Can't say the same for Bron if he played in the 90's the way he plays now. He has the stature to dominate in the 90's but not sure he has the mindset.

LeBron James is 41 years old. The man dropped 23, 9, & 9 tonight. How could you possibly rank him anywhere other than 1ST in NBA history?

@5Solas2 @AlwaysKnocking @theblockspot Jordan couldn't take 5 steps, gather, 3 more steps, round about, then dunk it. No freedom of movement in the 90's and Jordan still dropped 40 and 6 titles. Lebron dies anytime he is touched. Jordan scored 40 when his team scored 90. Bron scores 30 when his team scores 140.

@AlwaysKnocking @theblockspot Titles really have no discussion in talking about the best individual player. This is something people appeal to because they can't appeal to the actual individual player stats. Titles take a whole team.

@RoushKSR Hopefully everyone committed stays.

A big shake-up for Mark Pope's staff. I'm no recruiting insider, but Hart seemed to have a ton of connections on the trail.

@Baddawg04 @MetamateDaz Why not make min wage 100 per hour? Hell why not 200 per hour?

@MetamateDaz A person against raising minimum wage will conveniently ignore this

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

@KentuckyZone Doing just enough not to get fired. I’m the master at that. Where do I apply ? 😝

So you are slightly better than us at our very worst? I get the point. But I don’t love using this as a “see, I’m doing a good job!”

@ChrisFisherKY What happened in his 3rd season?

Mark Pope's first 2 seasons at Kentucky: 46-26 Todd Golden's first 2 seasons at Florida: 40-29 Golden also had 3 straight 10+ loss seasons at San Francisco and was 23-22 in the WCC. Pope may succeed at UK, he may not. But don't tell me you know definitively because you don't.

@KySportsRadio Apparently those aren’t freshman.

Pope says Kentucky is “desperate” to get “creators” on the Kentucky team who can create their own shot and get shots for their teammates

@FakeBecksKSR Curious that you cut that off after 3 seasons. What happened 4 seasons ago?

Bill Self hasn’t gotten out of the first weekend the last three seasons. Curious if Kansas fans are losing faith with him. They are a blue blood like us, wonder if they are just more reasonable which is always possible

Honestly, Kentucky fans would probably be reacting a little better if Mark Pope and his staff had a strong 2026 recruiting class, but right now they’ve got ZERO signees, and that’s one of the many reasons why so many fans are frustrated. #BBN

At least Mark Pope has put together an amazing recruiting class for Kentucky next year. Look at that squad. All studs.

@WildcatsTongue Can’t get hurt if you have no recruits. Next level strategy by Pope.

Give Mark Pope a fully healthy season next year so we can truly judge him as a coach

@WildcatUKx We’re screwed.

Mark Pope asked about what things look like moving forward #BBN "Retention is a big part of this"

Ultimately a disappointing season…so many expectations but just couldn’t match them most of the year A few very good wins and a great March memory with the Oweh shot but in the end a year most UK fans will consider a disappointment

@HowardWKYT Yep. Can’t believe the refs turn it over so much.

The refs decided to make this their game

24 is ass.

@MrsTylerKSR @KySportsRadio Covering up his shirt. 😂

Proof that @KySportsRadio is in the arena for Kentucky vs. Iowa State. How long will he last?

Woof

Pope with the Masterclass. 👎🏾

If the Bench players really cared about this game, they would go sit in the stands where Pope can’t substitute them in.
