Mark Pope is taking a unique approach to building chemistry ahead of his third season at Kentucky. 🏀 All 14 scholarship players will live together in the Wildcat Coal Lodge this summer as the Wildcats begin an eight-week stretch of workouts, skill instruction, conditioning, and team bonding starting June 15. "The guys are all living in the lodge full-time during the course of the summer," Pope said. The Wildcats will also stay active in the community, with Pope emphasizing that building relationships off the court is just as important as what happens on it. 😼 #BBN
