'Massively disappointed': Kentucky's Mark Pope reflects on exhibition loss to Georgetown

Kentucky missed key guards and shot just 33% overall in their 84-70 exhibition loss, their first on home floor since 2014, coach Mark Pope said.

  • On March 28, 2025, the No. 9 Kentucky Wildcats lost to Georgetown 84-70 in the NCAA tournament at Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY.
  • Without Lowe and Aberdeen, the Wildcats entered the game short-handed at the point as head coach Mark Pope said Aberdeen was dealing with a leg issue affecting their offense.
  • Kentucky shot only 33.3% from the field and 23.3% from deep while committing 15 turnovers, including five from sophomore guard Collin Chandler.
  • Coach Mark Pope said he was "massively with ever losing on this floor" and vowed to prepare Kentucky for its regular-season opener Tuesday, Nov. 4 at Rupp Arena against Nicholls.
  • Despite the loss, Pope said, `I think this team has a ton of potential` and emphasized practice to improve ahead of Nov. 4.
