Wednesday Headlines: Angry Mark Pope Unleashed

Angry Mark Pope has arrived.

Good morning, BBN!

Well, it finally happened. Angry Mark Pope is here.

After an abysmal start and hitting rock bottom against the Zags last Friday, it looks like Mark Pope isn’t playing the nice guy anymore.

The game started without any sign of Kam Williams and Jaland Lowe on the court, and it looks like that was on purpose. However, what really made noise was the official benching of Brandon Garrison.

The play where Garrison turned it over and didn’t get back on defense resulted in a timeout by Pope and no sight of BG for the remainder of the game.

Message has been sent: Your minutes must be earned.

You can see the anger from Pope during this halftime interview with UK Sports Network:

I love it, and he needs to continue this attitude.

Tweet of the Day:

The accountability you love to see.

In positive news, Jasper Johnosn looks great!
