Kentucky’s big-game struggles under Pope

Kentucky basketball fans have noticed something’s off this season: the Wildcats just can’t seem to keep up in high-stakes games, even when they’re nearly at full strength. Despite promising recruits like Jasper Johnson and Malachi Moreno, Mark Pope’s squad has repeatedly fallen into deep deficits against top opponents. Injuries have hurt, but the real issue might be how the roster was built through the transfer portal. After a tough 25-point loss to Vanderbilt, it’s clear something has to change if Kentucky wants to reclaim its spot among college basketball’s elite. What do you think needs to happen next? #Sports #KentuckyBasketball #MarkPope
