Still looking for a great Christmas gift? If you stuck around Rupp Arena for Mark Pope’s postgame radio show, you got one. After Kentucky’s 99-85 win over Bellarmine, Pope and the team signed autographs for every fan still in the arena. It was their way of thanking BBN for its support, especially fans who came to Rupp for a 1 p.m. ET game on the Tuesday before Christmas.
“It’s BBN at its very finest, as we love you guys so much that we got a few surprises for you,” Pope said.
The first was books commemorating Pope’s first season at Kentucky, which his daughters handed out to random fans in the crowd.
