“Kentucky is CBB’s most disappointing team to start the season and Mark Pope is now facing his first crisis as the coach of his alma mater,” Norlander said in a post on X last night.
Here is an excerpt from Norlander’s article about the game:
What Michigan State did to Kentucky and its roster worth a reported $20 million-plus was no joke. The 12th-ranked Wildcats were outshot, out-hustled, out-schemed and outplayed by the 17th-ranked Spartans. Mark Pope’s had only a few head-scratching losses in his 41 games running the program. Tuesday night’s defeat was alarmingly bad, the worst of his young tenure.
