"Mark Pope: A New Era for Kentucky Basketball"

Kentucky basketball's hiring of Mark Pope as the new head coach has sparked excitement and speculation among fans, with his introductory press conference set for Sunday at Rupp Arena. The impact of Pope's hire on recruiting, particularly on top prospect Reed Sheppard, and the ongoing roster construction are key priorities. Meanwhile, the Kentucky football team's spring game is underway, and the baseball team continues its impressive SEC series win streak. In less positive news, two former swimmers are suing the University of Kentucky and their former coach for alleged sexual abuse, with the lawsuit naming athletics director Mitch Barnhart.
