It was a feel-good afternoon at Rupp Arena, as Mark Pope hosted the inaugural Kentucky Basketball Media Family Day. The loved ones of those who cover the team were invited to today’s pre-Georgetown press conference and the practice afterward. In a fun twist, Pope requested that only family members ask questions, which led to an entertaining 20 minutes.
Pope started by thanking families for sacrificing time with us so we can cover the Cats, earning even more goodwill from the room. In proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, the first question he got was about injuries.
