Mark Pope shared an inspirational message with the Kentucky players this past weekend during their team retreat. "The back of the jersey is incredibly important. It's your family freaking name, but you guys all have Kentucky across your chest. It's not a mistake. It's not a gift. You earned it. You belong here.

Alabama coach Nate Oats talks about their gameplan against Kentucky, identifying they don’t move the ball. “When I watched them play, I didn’t feel like they moved the ball great. You look and their assist rate is pretty high. Do a deeper dive, 27 assists, 27 assists, against bye games that play a lot of zone. When they played high major teams that were really good their assist rates were very low… They throw it into the bigs, they’re not really passing.”
