On the day UK introduced Mark Pope, it was Kentucky fans who made a statement

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Quick Glance: Caitlin Clark Honored for Historic Collegiate Career in Iowa

The Iowa women's basketball program announced the official retirement of jersey No. 22 in recognition of Caitlin Clark, following the conclusion of her college career on Sunday with the Hawkeyes' loss to South Carolina in the NCAA tournament national championship game.

Moving forward, no Iowa players will wear the iconic No. 22 jersey. Clark now joins Megan Gustafson (No. 10) as one of the three players from the Iowa women's basketball team to have her number retired.

The decision was revealed by Iowa's Athletics Director, Beth Goetz, on Wednesday night at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in the presence of Clark and the fans.

Clark has officially entered the WNBA draft scheduled for Monday, April 15. She is anticipated to be the top pick, selected by the Indiana Fever.

Arkansas hires John Calipari: Ex-Kentucky coach agrees to five-year deal with salary starting at $7 million

cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/arkansas-hires-john-calipari-ex-kentucky-coach-agrees-to-five-year-deal-with-salary-starting-at-7-million/

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari

John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

Quick Glance: Purdue Triumphs Over Tennessee to Secure First Final Four Since 1980

Purdue secured their first Final Four appearance since 1980 with an impressive 72-66 victory over Tennessee in the championship game of the NCAA men's tournament Midwest Region in Detroit.

Zach Edey stood out for the Boilermakers, delivering a career-best performance of 40 points and 16 rebounds.

Despite Dalton Knecht's remarkable 37-point performance for Tennessee, the Volunteers lacked other scorers reaching double figures.
