Mark Pope was interested in Big Z ‘but clearly I liked him a lot more than he liked me’

New head coach Mark Pope talked to big man Zvonimir Ivisic a few times when he took the Kentucky job.

“Well, I did get a chance to talk to him a couple times,” Pope told the media Thursday. “Clearly I liked him a lot more than he liked me.”

Pope went on to call Big Z an incredible talent.

“I think he’s a terrific talent. I mean, what a talent. What a great talent,” Pope said.
