Fans question why he plays. National voices and local media have piled on. And on Tuesday night at Rupp, it finally boiled over in a way we hadn’t seen publicly from Mark Pope yet.
With just over eight minutes left in the first half and Kentucky trying to pull away North Carolina Central, Garrison caught the ball in the middle of the lane. He turned, the ball was knocked loose, not ideal, but not unforgivable. Turnovers happen.
What happened next was the problem.
This is absolutely pathetic
Brandon Garrison turns the ball over and quite literally walks back on defense pic.
