After defending home court against the Aggies, Kentucky<\/a> is on to Alabama this upcoming weekend, another top-15 matchup for the Wildcats. Saturday\u2019s game is an early one, scheduled for noon in Rupp Arena.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Mark Pope<\/a><\/strong> held an invite-only Q&A session on UK\u2019s campus, where he previewed his team\u2019s next game, opponent, and more. The conversation opened with a question about Alabama head coach Nate Oats, to which Pope replied, \u201cWhat Nate Oats has done at Alabama is incredible, right?<\/strong> All-time great season last year, and he\u2019s, you know, the program is in a great position, and he\u2019s playing a fun style of basketball, and really, really been playing great basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Pope and his guests discussed preparing for the Crimson Tide, Oats\u2019 style of play, the difficulty of the SEC, Kentucky learning more and more by the day, and even some chess talk. He\u2019s working on a publicized chess match with Collin Chandler.<\/p>\n

Pope also shared a lot about his own team, including a lengthy answer about synergy and love that you will want to hear from Pope himself.<\/p>\n
