Mark Pope’s Postgame Press Conference After Win Over Nicholls

Mark Pope met with the media following Kentucky’s 77-51 win over Nicholls Tuesday night.

Pope gave some thoughts on Kentucky’s slow start in the first half and said he thinks Nicholls is going to be a good team this season.

“I’m grateful for this Nicholls team,” Pope said. “I like this team. They were actually really good last year and I think they’re going to be really good this year. The coach is doing a terrific job. And it was good for us. We had some tightness on the floor.”

Pope also gave an injury update on Trent Noah, saying that Noah wanted to re-enter the game in the second half.
