Tuesday Headlines: Mark Pope finds his new Kentucky home
Kentucky basketball head coach Mark Pope and his family have found their new Kentucky home. The family purchased a home in The Grange Estates and the Lexington Country Club area last week.
According to Kentucky Sports Radio, the home was not listed when the Pope family had first expressed their interests.
It’s quite the house — consisting of six bedrooms and as many full bathrooms with three half baths, a pool, a detached three-car garage. The home sits on a lot of more than 11 acres in a gated community. Photos from the previous listing can be seen here.

Less than 20 minutes to both the Joe Craft Center and Rupp Arena, Pope and his family appear to have found a gem that allows for a solid level of privacy but within arms reach of wherever he may need to be.

Arkansas Basketball Bites Back At Obsessed Kentucky Fans Trying To Troll Razorbacks, John Calipari
The Arkansas basketball team made a splash hire this offseason, swiping John Calipari from SEC rival Kentucky. As he gears up for Year 1 in Fayetteville, it seems Big Blue Nation is taking interest in his new program.
On Monday, a Wildcats fan attempted to troll the head coach with an Olympic team graphic showing a number of Cal’s former players. It didn’t take long for Arkansas to bite back!
Kentucky boasts a handful of former players on the Team USA roster as it preps for a trip to the 2024 Paris Games. Included are NBA standouts Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, and Bam Adebayo.
While attempting to take a swipe at the Razorbacks, one Kentucky supporter used that trio to create a fake graphic online that began gaining major attention.
The post suggested that the Arkansas Razorbacks were using Coach Cal’s success at Kentucky to prop up their own program since it boasts no former players on that Team USA roster.
The Arky social media team bit back quickly at the unwanted jab.
Arkansas basketball ripped the fake graphic and responded with a post of its own.
The university’s Director of Digital Strategy Rachael Harris quickly reacted to the troll job by saying, “Hi. I run this account. This was never posted. Thanks for your time.”
