Mark Pope met with the media for his first postgame press conference following Kentucky’s 123-52 win over Kentucky Wesleyan Wednesday night.
“I’m really grateful for Kentucky Wesleyan,” Pope said as he praised the Panthers. “I love opportunities to play championship teams. This is a veteran championship team that’s going to have another great year. What Drew’s done at Wesleyan is incredible. It’s such a storied program. They essentially have the majority of the roster back. Missing one legitimate big, big piece. They played the right way and they are going to have a ton of success.”
