"Coach Rick Majcrus is a great guy." Pope says Majerus and Kentucky Coach Rick Pitino have more similarities than most basketball fans realize, except for one difference: "The one thing I can tell you is that Majcrus eats a lot more," Pope joked. "Actually they have more in common than differences. Both arc extremely driven and have great basketball minds." Pope's role as a big man off the bench for the Wildcats is testament to Kentucky's impressive depth, according to Majcrus. "Pope would've been MVP of our league if he played for us," Majcrus said.

We recruited him, but I'm sure he got the letter from Utah and thought it was a cult." When asked what Utah could do to counter Kentucky's depdi, Majerus had a simple answer: "Food poisoning." Following the bluegrass blitz Kentucky handed the Utes, Majerus and said, "I'm just punch-druntonight I'm going to be drunk. I'm not a drinking guy but I'm going to go out and have 10 or 12 of those Fuzzy Navels and call it a night. I'm not advocating alcohol use or abuse, I'm just worn out." .
