Related Topics: Mark Pope, Nate Oats

You don’t need me to tell you what happened to Kentucky in the Wildcats’ SEC opener down in Tuscaloosa — four wins for Nate Oats in four tries against Mark Pope, this one second-ugliest behind only the 29-point beatdown at the SEC Tournament to send UK home from Nashville. The second-year coach in Lexington spoke for the first time since the five minutes he gave at the Coleman Coliseum podium, along with the other four pouty minutes he spent with Tom Leach doing postgame radio, sitting down once again with Leach for his weekly call-in show that is no longer a call-in show.
