Mark Pope and the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats celebrated Senior Day 30 years ago today with a 101-63 win over Vanderbilt.
“Being a kid from outside Kentucky, it didn’t mean anything to me when I got here and now that I’m leaving, it means everything,” Pope said about the singing of ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ during Senior Day festivities.
