The Kentucky Wildcats, after dropping a mid week SEC/ACC Challenge game to Clemson, rebounded with a rousing comeback to defeat Gonzaga last evening, after trailing by 18. The ‘Cats, down 50-34 at the half, sent the game to overtime tied at 79, and then pulled out the victory 90-89 in late night basketball from the Emerald City Seattle. The win over 7th ranked Gonzaga should keep the ‘Cats in the Top 10, with a mid week scrimmage, check that….. it’s actually a game, scheduled against the Colgate Raiders, before hosting the Louisville Cardinals for their annual spanking next Saturday. Last time the Cards won in Rupp, W. was still President and Rick Pitino was still coaching in the state. For those forgetting, Rick has coached Iona and donned a sweater in tribute to Lou Carnesecca yesterday at St. John’s, and the Cards have been led by David Padgett, Chris Mack, Mike Pegues, Kenny Payne and now Pat Kelsey….not that we’re counting!!

The ‘Cats crowd-pleasing consistency of completely crushing competition in home contests (say that fast) despite lacking continuity from the 2023 roster with ZERO returning players, have jumped out to a stellar 7-0 mark including 6-0 at the friendly confines of Rupp, has been a much needed tonic at the start of Mark Pope’s command leading the Kentucky faithful back to college basketball prominence. The competition stiffens next week with a trip to Clemson prior to hosting Gonzaga….while keeping a watchful gleeful eye on Arkansas dropping a couple of early season games vs Illinois and Baylor…..has created excitement throughout the Commonwealth.

The ‘Cats of Kentucky continue to embrace a non-secular religious revival re-incarnation under the Pope, Mark Pope, with a 5-0 start. The Big Blue Nation has been re-energized with the Three and D philosophy of yesteryear….and have now focused their attention to more pressing concerns including the hideous attempted makeover of the Wildcat emblem, which eerily looks stolen from K – State.
The December schedule provides some stiffer competition beyond this week's scrimmages vs Bisons of Lipscomb or the Jackson State Tigers.

The Mark Pope led Kentucky Wildcats are off to a 2-0 start by scoring triple digits in both games vs Wright St and Bucknell. Next up is the hated Duke Blue Devils ($*%k Laettner)....Tuesday will be the first of several litmus tests for the burgeoning love affair between Pope and the Big Blue Nation. A victory is certain to make Mark more favored than Francis in Rome. And Mark Pope's #1 fan in the Commonwealth rooting more for a return to elite college basketball is none other than Mark Stoops, who was hours from a massive payday from Texas A&M last December prior to the 12th Man Foundation revolt.
