Mark Pope signals a change in his coaching philosophy in Kentucky Basketball win vs. Texas Tech
In Kentucky’s latest exhibition win over Texas Tech, coach Mark Pope abandons his usual analytics‑driven deep‑rotation strategy, leaning heavily on a six‑man core. Malachi Moreno logged 35 minutes and Milan Momcilovic 34, while Alex Wilkins, Ousmane Ndiaye and Mason Williams each saw 27‑29 minutes. Only three bench players logged under 12 minutes, a stark contrast to last season’s even minutes across nine players.

“Apathy Isn’t What You Feel”: Scottie Scheffler Gets Unexpected Support Amid Tiger Woods Comparisons
Golf Digest senior writer Joel Beall argues that world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler already enjoys strong fan appreciation despite lacking Tiger Woods‑level celebrity. Citing crowds that still cheer his gallery walks and a YouGov poll that lifted Scheffler’s fan favorability to 34% in June 2025—just ahead of Rory McIlroy—Beall stresses the golfer’s on‑course dominance, not his reserved public persona, drives interest. Scheffler’s 2026 season features two playoff wins, five runner‑ups, 13 top‑10s and a second FedEx Cup title, with Tiger Woods publicly praising his consistency. The piece challenges the narrative of “apathy,” suggesting spectators recognize his excellence now.
