Mark Pope met with the media last night following Kentucky’s 82-61 win over Vanderbilt.
Pope started by praising Vanderbilt and bringing awareness to the devastating floods in Eastern Kentucky.
Next, Pope compared Collin Chandler to a bamboo tree.
“Collin Chandler, you know, we talk about these bamboo trees,” Pope explained. “You guys know the deal about these bamboo trees. So, if you think about a bamboo forest. I think the Guinness Book of World Records is 36 inches in a day. I think 35 inches in a day. What happens is they grow over time and they grow these massive networks of roots and they grow and grow and grow and you don’t see it.
