I’m a UK fan ‘but much respect to coach Few . I think he is absolutely one of the best HC’s that ever coached. I’ve pulled for U of G since the early 90’s
Listen, as a long time UK basketball fan. It's disrespectful to attack a coach of his stature. Pope coached and he won. No reason to say Coach Few cannot coach basketball because we all know that he can.
@@indigomarine91 mostly open attempts, and gu missed almost half of their free throws down the stretch. they aren’t bad defensively, but to say “lock down” is a little much.
What a great game. On both sides. Gonzaga will be one of the teams playing at the end of march. Coach Few is a classy person. Nothing but respect to him and his players. They deserve it.
I am lifetime Kentucky fan, but I respect the hell out of Mark Few. They will play anybody anytime anywhere and have been to 16 I think straight sweet 16. He is a great coach that team just went cold it happens sometimes.
I think its 9 straight sweet 16s, but nonetheless, yes, much respect for Coach Few and the Zags. A model of consistency and class for many years now. Go Cats!!!
Coach Few is total class, and masterful developer of players and game coach. This is just college basketball, and it could have happened the other way around. I was thrilled to have this W for the cats, but much respect to Zags and Coach Few . I see a lot of similarities in culture and style
Kentucky fan here but what a great game! Hustle, intensity and great coaching. Off the charts battle by 2 of the best programs. Gonzaga is always a class act with great players and a great coach. I wish them well an they will win many many more.
I honestly think there was something up with that rim. UK couldn't make anything in the first half on it, and the GU couldn't make shots on it in the second half. The shooting percentages basically inverted from the first half to the second.
UK did something under Coach Pope they wouldnt have under the previous administration....in-game adjustments. Those 9 points were not so much "drying up" as it was the adjustments made on UK's defensive end. The Zags are an easy Final Four team, excellent team play with the best PG in D1 and have a GREAT coach.
Lifelong Kentucky boy and wildcat fan here and when we were looking for a coach my first thought was Coach few!!Hes a damn good man and coach but tonight the Pope came out victorious
Gonzaga is lucky to have coach Few . No one would have heard of them without him . I suspect they will slide back to their historical place once he leaves.
Kentucky was the better team. Pope was the better coach. Won the second half and overtime. For a team to come back from 16 down at half and 18 down in the game in the second half shows great coaching and great defense. Without butler the whole game and K Kriisa the second half is crazy. Give Pope more credit you arrogant son of a something. I can’t stand to lose but damn. To set there and basically say the changes KY made didn’t effect how yall played is just crazy. Nice job Mark Pope. Great Job Kentucky players.
Much respect for Cats and Zags very well could meet again in final four Coach Pope made the right adjustments at halftime come back from 16 down against Coach Few is a good achievement
Kudos to UK but Gonzaga is not a push over team. They are good. Congratulations on an outstanding game. They will be in the NCAA tournament. A well coached team. Coach Few is an excellent coach.
That was a Tough loss to Kentucky , after being up 18. At Washington too. Now Zags go to MSG to battle UConn. I think UConn 7-0 their last 7 @ MSG. GO Huskies !
Kentucky is a pretty legit team this year. 16 point halftime deficit to come back and win. Honestly they should had won that Clemson game as well. Lost to a good team.
refs were terrible for that clemson win, it was basically not basketball, they were holding on every action off ball and the refs were chalking it up to physical basketball... 9/10 ref crews that game doesnt work out that way.
@@slimyguy8 I agree as a UK fan and he even says it was a hell of a basketball game. BUT it does come off to me that he is downplaying it a bit. Sounds like he's just implying you all lost just because you got unlucky. I think Pope's adjustments were more impactful at stalling the offense and preventing good looks than he's letting on here. And I know Few is a legend
@ nah my bad that was disrespectful, i don’t know it’s a 3 minute interview i think he gives credit but also this team shot 0-12 from 3 in the second half on mostly open attempts. like credit to kentuckys defense but that’s an anomaly. not to mention 5+ missed free throws down the stretch from players who are 80%+ from the stripe, I think it’s a mix of both things
Another thing, Pope runs a system that’s designed to make guys tired. He runs 9-11 guys. He runs an offense that’s literally designed to make teams wear down and lose their legs. And that’s what happened to Gonzaga and it’s the same thing that happened to Duke. He played for Pitino at UK, it’s how he learned the game. So this nonsense about “we just missed shots” yes you did because Kentuckys defense wore you down. We also run a lot of action on offense and Gonzaga just ain’t conditioned for it. So few saying a lot of things here not giving the full story. Gonzaga was gassed in the second half by design. And few didn’t slow it down which is what he should have done. He chose to continue to play fast because he thinks he’s too good to change his style and he’s arrogant. Well, Gonzaga isn’t Kentucky. And this is t Calipari’s Kentucky. We have 8 national titles to Gonzaga 0. Our coach has actually won a championship Few hasn’t. If I were him I’d show respect to the superior program.
Few struggling to give credit here. It should be said that UK was missing a ton of easy shots early. But he’s not admitting that. We were missing wide open looks, bunnies under the rim, I mean it was crazy how many shits we were missing. Fact is few is lucky the Kentucky he’s been able to face has had Calipari as the head coach. He’s been blessed there. And that’s over. I like Few and think he’s built something special at Gonzaga, but Gonzaga is no UK. And he’s about to find out just what that means.
Doesn't matter how much $ is spent on NIL, it's about ciaching. Look at top 3 NIL teams: arkansas, Indiana, ans kansas st. ALL with garbage coaches. Where are they now?
Kentucky missed a ton of easy shots in the first half. Missed shots we never miss. See how that works? The second half we played now we usually play and easily out scored Gonzaga. We’re UK. I think Gonzaga is a good but overrated program. They spend all year beating up nobodies and get great seeds because of it that’s why they’ve got all those sweet 16’s. But at UK those sweet 16’s get you fired. It’s just a different level and now he doesn’t have Calipari to coach against. Also I went back and watched the game and popes adjustments for sure threw Gonzaga off. For him to deny it is just nonsense. He had no answer or didn’t seem to. Either few id just say Gonzaga has never win a title and UK has 8. I think we know what we’re doing. Gonzaga is just lucky to get to play blue bloods they really shouldn’t get these games.
Glad the big man miss the free throw at the end becuz if he made it be 2 OT 😅 ..... Thats why they call us come back cats ... 💪😺💙🤍🏀🔥🔥. Fight fight cats

respect from a gu fan, sucked to go 0-12 from three in the second half, but well played by kentucky
They can’t win the big ones that for sure
@slimyguy8 kentucky has lock down defense, they did the same thing to duke with their shooting
@@indigomarine91 mostly open attempts, and gu missed almost half of their free throws down the stretch. they aren’t bad defensively, but to say “lock down” is a little much.
@slimyguy8 when a team shoots less, then %10
What a great game. On both sides. Gonzaga will be one of the teams playing at the end of march. Coach Few is a classy person. Nothing but respect to him and his players. They deserve it.
Uk fan here ! Great game both sides. Great coaching both sides as well hope to see both these teams in the end come march!

One of the best victories I’ve seen in quite a while! GO BIG BLUE!

Final 4 quality game. Halftime adjustments and zone/man swap caused Gonzaga to go cold.
Glad they did 😅😅 come back cats 😊
as a Arky fan my immediate reaction was about that zone defense. You aren't wrong, it changed the game.
Man Y’all played a heck of a game!!! It could go any way in College Basketball! Salute from Owensboro Kentucky!!! Go BIG BLUE!!!!!!
Great game zags !! Yall are good team no lie !! But glad KY fight back and won it 😊. Maybe see yall in march 😅. BBN
A very good game Gonzaga will be a threat in MARCH WAY TO GO BIG BLUE

No team is easily a Final Four team! The tournament is not clear cut.
Big Blue here lol, few is a great coach and i like him ,pope outcoached him in the 2nd half. Great game,felt like March in December after midnight lol
Lifelong Kentucky boy and wildcat fan here and when we were looking for a coach my first thought was Coach few!!Hes a damn good man and coach but tonight the Pope came out victorious
Always liked Mark Few as a coach
Much respect to Coach Few! Calls it like he sees it.
Great win Cats. Zags are a tough team. Come tourney time, both teams will be a force to be reckoned with
Gonzaga is lucky to have coach Few . No one would have heard of them without him . I suspect they will slide back to their historical place once he leaves.

Im a Zag fan. I've seen Popes team give Gonzaga problems many times. UK was the better team .Mark Few is pure class far from arrogant!
coach pew is a good coach but even better person 👍. Bluegrass Bobby

Kudos to UK but Gonzaga is not a push over team. They are good. Congratulations on an outstanding game. They will be in the NCAA tournament. A well coached team. Coach Few is an excellent coach.
these guys look so spent. its tough to lose but even worse when you give it your all
LOSERS!!!
As a UK fan, i give respect to coach few. What a class act. No throwing players under the bus, no acting crazy like dan hurley.
AWESOME 😎 GAME ON BOTH SIDES
Coach Few is going to be a HOF, if he isn't already. Amazed we cam back and won.
it was a hell of a game for sure. Tough pill to swallow for zaga still though.
Mark Few takes, "Stiff Upper Lip" to a whole new level.
See you in the final four Gonzaga! You all vs the cats is great for ratings, bad for my blood pressure. BBN babyyyy
That was a Tough loss to Kentucky , after being up 18. At Washington too. Now Zags go to MSG to battle UConn. I think UConn 7-0 their last 7 @ MSG. GO Huskies !
Few is a great coach. Zags will become another Butler or Wichita State whenever he leaves.
I thought they were done at halftime. This team is: “The Underestimated’s”.
Kentucky is a pretty legit team this year.
16 point halftime deficit to come back and win.
Honestly they should had won that Clemson game as well. Lost to a good team.

@@Hooch_is_crzy That Clemson game is why we won tonight.
FUN FACT: Gonzaga only plays 1 ranked game for the rest of the year, uk has 10 ranked games.
I still think gonzaga finds away to get to the title game at the end!
BYU had given Gonzaga troubles in the past. You give Pope UK resources it's not that surprising GU couldn't do anything in the second half.
Hey number 13 we got a spot on the uk rooster waiting for you next yr! 🤷🏻♂️
You got out coached. Give credit where it’s due
he literally gives credit to kentucky?? like chill

Mark Pope outcoached you today. #13 was getting all the calls & you couldn't capitalize up 16 points
Jaxson should’ve been outta the game with his second tech early in the 2nd half lol.
@@duncanfromunderthebridgehe didn’t even have a first tech
@@duncanfromunderthebridge You clearly didn't watch the game 😂
The first Tech on Ky was bullshit and wasn't called for. Cope
Mark Pope has out coached Mark Few a bunch of times.
UK clearly has better athletes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. All that cocky trash talk I be the 1st half y’all look a little sad now. 😂😂
MARK FEW IS A GREAT COACH. IT JUST SAD THAT A SMALL COLLEGE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY BIG BUCKS FOR PLAYERS LIKE UK😢
