'Fire Mark Pope' trending in Kentucky after UNC collapse
North Carolina v Kentucky | Michael Hickey/GettyImagesWhen Brandon Garrison is the only person on your roster to make a 3-point shot in a game, it's bad. The honeymoon phase for Mark Pope didn't just end Tuesday night, it crashed and burned in spectacular fashion.
— Rare Rookies #BBN (@rarerookies) December 3, 2025In a game where North Carolina seemed determined to hand Kentucky a victory, missing free throws, committing unforced turnovers, and looking generally disorganized, the Wildcats found a way to refuse the gift.
This is a season from hell for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats. Just an inexcusable product, no matter the injury situation.
Bad basketball team.
