Kentucky coach Mark Pope made headlines on Thursday when he talked about an “out of character” pregame moment at Louisville. However, that wasn’t the only critique of his team during Thursday’s press conference. There were a couple of other key areas he’s looking for improvement.
One of those areas is body language. He said that the team grades the body language of players on the team every game. Before Kentucky’s loss to Louisville, only one player had a game with a net negative in body language. Tuesday’s loss featured three players.
