## Resource

Kentucky Wildcats set a bold standard for Mark Pope’s third year - no excuses, only results. Mark Mitchell’s last-minute decision to stay with Missouri stings, but Kentucky still boasts a roster packed with offensive firepower, including Zoom Diallo, Alex Wilkins, Milan Momcilovic, and Malachi Moreno. Can this team translate “ifs” into tournament-caliber performances, or will old patterns repeat?
