10+ hour, 20+ min ago (1834+ words) Mark Pope had seen enough. That was a true statement well before Kentucky took the Rupp Arena court Tuesday night for what turned out to be a 103-67 victory over North Carolina Central, one of the lowest-rated teams in college basketball and the sixth overmatched opponent that the Wildcats have run off their home court this season. Pope wasn't happy before, during or after this 36-point win. It didn't do anything to change the narrative around his UK basketball team, a group that has feasted on cupcakes while going 0-4 against quality opposition. The second-year Kentucky coach has worn heartache on his sleeve after those losses, but his demeanor during the course of the defeats " mostly positive with his players, often stoic amid the onslaughts " rubbed a vocal portion of the UK fan base the wrong way. Why doesn't Pope show more…...

No scene exemplified this shift better Tuesday night than a near-30-second sequence in the first half. Backup UK forward Brandon Garrison " he lost his starting job after five games, giving way to freshman Malachi Moreno " put forth little resistance guarding North Carolina Central's Khouri Carvey, who proceeded to convert a point-blank layup. On the ensuing possession, Garrison coughed up the ball in the paint. NCCU's Ryan Archey came up with the ball, then passed ahead to teammate Kyric Davis. All the while, Garrison leisurely made his way up the court " jogging at best, loafing at worst. As soon as Davis slammed it home, Pope called timeout. He met Garrison before the 6-foot…...

16+ hour, 20+ min ago (330+ words) VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. " Virginia Beach residents could soon receive $50 worth of free parking at the Oceanfront under a proposal reviewed by city leaders Tuesday night. The idea was first presented to the City Council back in November. For many residents, the cost of parking has long been a source of frustration. "Oh man, I've paid a million dollars in parking fees," said Daniel Parrish, who lives in Virginia Beach. Some residents say meters and garage fees add up quickly, sometimes discouraging families from visiting the Oceanfront at all. "If you live here, you don't want to pay the parking they have out here to come play with your kids for a couple of hours and then go back for lunch " and then maybe come back again after lunch," said resident Timothy Corder. Under the new proposal, city residents could receive…...

19+ hour, 9+ min ago (590+ words) The Wildcats have fallen out of the polls after getting bludgeoned by Gonzaga over the weekend, putting Mark Few firmly on the hot seat. The leash for coaches in college sports is getting shorter as the NIL era has brought on plenty of player movement, making it easier for programs to wonder why their coaches can't turn things around quickly like Curt Cignetti did for Indiana football. That impatience led to a dramatic coaching carousel in football, highlighted by Lane Kiffin's circus between Ole Miss and LSU, but we haven't seen that kind of chaos move to the hardwood quite yet.
