I feel like this team is taking every Kentucky fan back to whichever era they considered the glory days. Like we're all remembering how much we love this shit
Sends chills all through your body doesn't it? This is Kentucky basketball that I grew up with. You're right we do love this shit! We eat sleep Kentucky basketball!
Honestly don't know if its just the excitement or what but watching this team fight and the grit they have makes me feel like I'm 12 watching the 98 team. The 98 vibes coming from this team is off the charts. The fight along with the grit and just keep coming attitude is so amazing. Go Cats and Go Coach Pope.
Love this team and especially Mark Pope! He has brought back the excitement that is Kentucky Basketball. This team might not be the most talented, however they are one of the best TEAMS out there. They play for the name on the front, not on the back. They play to win ballgames, not pad their stats. Loved this video, great work!
100% in with this team 100% in with this coaching staff 100% in with Coach and National Championship player Mark Pope 100% in love with where our team growth is headed. 100% respect for everyone involved with this program doing all the big and small things everyone misses ❤ 100% in love and respect the media team. You guys are awesome! ❤
That's a kentucky boy proud to b a kentuckian, these sort of guys would lay their life down for this team! Means everything to play for the CATS when your from kentucky! That's the way I played in high school and would have done anything to play at kentucky, which never happened, but I get it!
@@jamieabee1283 Kriisa is from Estonia in Europe….which almost makes the passion even more impressive. Cause he’s only here for a year …but he still gets it
Maybe I'm overreacting or being a bit "extra". But, I can't help getting emotional watching these guys! The way these guys play... the way they speak about the game and playing for Kentucky... it just brings so much emotion. I see the same fight in this team as I saw in the 1996 and 1998 Championship teams. How freaking awesome is it watching zero, 5-star recruits. Zero, scholarship players, and zero projected #1 draft picks go toe-to-toe with the best teams in the country and pull out an epic win on the road?!!! Coach Pope and this team are doing great things, and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch so far!! #BBN #GoBigBlue
What we all just witnessed was akin to a heavyweight championship battle. You are young and strong and have few equals, if any. Your coach is a man among men with the experience and brilliance of a coach much his elder. He is a Kingmaker. So take flight you mighty blue, PLAY HARD-FEAR NO ONE. GO BIG BLUE!✌️
I love these videos so much! One slight critique I have is to turn down the music a bit during the locker room segments. I find that to be the most interesting and it is difficult to hear them. But otherwise this was so amazing!
GREAT VIDEO!!! I am so glad that we can support our team and our kids again! Hope they all go to the nba but right now they are Kentucky and playing for each other and their coach and US!!!! I was so hoping to see this again in my lifetime. I am all in. Wish I could give this video a hundred likes.
Lifelong Kentuckian. Been a Cats fan since I was born into it in 96. This is probably my favorite Cats team of all time and it's barely December. Just a bunch of scrappy high IQ dudes who know what and who they're fighting for. Mark Pope is a blessing.
Well said! Since 1980 for me and this years team is not my all time favorite but they are sure as hell working their way up the list quickly, and we still have a lot of season left!
@@mildbillproductions I don’t listen to much pop music but good job on your producing if any of the younger folk out there is reading this go give this fellas songs a listen that he worked hard on
My favorite parts: Jaxson in the locker room: “We’re a fucking mess out there, we’re embarrassing the shit out of ourselves” And Otega in the interview as overtime started: “We smelled blood at that point.” If this team plays to the level they are capable of in March they will be all time legends in the state of Kentucky.
Jaxson was right. The effort wasn't there in the 1st half, and it really showed on the boards. I didn't recognize the team on the court. I thought the game was lost and only stayed up to see if they would man up and make the game close.
Yeah,that’s great to see and coach did an unbelievable job,hell, I know nothing about coaching but even i could see he was cooking as the young ppl say nowadays,I’m not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical about hiring him but at the same time with him being an alumni I thought well why not? But to do what he’s done and the season is just beginning,I’m shocked I guess is the right word, I absolutely wasn’t expecting this and the recruitment he’s done,holy smokes!! Pope is legit and I guess it took him getting to a “bigger school” for him to really show what he can do and it’s a good time to be to be a UK fan!! And even some of our rivals have been rooting for us,which that’s great to see
This team reminds me of The Unforgettables. They're a little more talented at all positions (except the 4 where Mashburn played) but their passion and basketball IQ's are off the charts like that team. Not to mention the fact that they can all shoot the 3. If Jaxson builds on this performance, he may get close to the kind of performer that Mash was for the 92 team. This team has tremendous upside still.
Agreed. I get John Pelphrey vibes from Andrew Carr. Pel was more of a wing but he could scrap inside as well. I think it's that both are not real big muscle wise, but know how to play the game.
These videos are wonderful but please lower the volume of the music. It is hard to hear the player’s spoken words for the music. This team is special and we want to hear every word they say.
This team is special! I feel like the sky is the limit for the wildcats! Could b wrong but I'm not! I used to never miss a game but in this cal Era I slacked off, so glad he's gone and the wildcats have a real coach, best since Joe B Hall! I'm back to watching every game, man I love this team and the new identity! GO CATS!
@ agreed. But he’s more than just a recruiter. It’s one thing to bring in talent. It’s another to bring it in AND coach it to its full potential. Coach Pope has proven he can deliver the goods!!!
We're so back. I left after the big loss at the end of the 2014-2015 season. Despite our incredible record and teams up to that point, I realized that "hero ball" and "talent alone" were going to hold us back for the rest of the Cal era. I had lost the personal connection to the team I had loved since the 90's when I was a kid. So KY BB and I "broke up". I missed it though. I definitely missed it. I tried to get back into it last season because of the Jeff Shephard nostalgia, but it ended like I thought it would. I shrugged my shoulders and moved on. This team though. They've brought an awakening and I feel that connection again.
PLEASE lower the music levels during the speaking sections so that everyone can hear what’s being said!!! The acoustics of a locker room aren’t great already. No shade, just constructive feedback.😊
U guys shoulda put score up throughout the game, like u did in jorney with duke. But loved it anyway!!!!! Lets go big blue!!!!!! I listen to game on radio. My daughter's have been raised that they bleed blue, they was home for holidays. I listen to games in dining room. They where in kitchen cleaning up. I gotta alot of eye rolls, and whats going on wit them, there playing bad dad. I told them, we'll get in at halftime, popes gonna play diffrent defense to slow game down, push them away from basket. By ten minute mark they where sitting at the table with me!!!!! Then the chants started go big blue!!!!! History babbbbby!!!!! Prime time players babbbbby!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE these “The Journey” videos… have for years. But one thing I will say is I prefer the hype music in the background instead of the violins that have been playing lately. Like The Journey used to use Zayde Wolf a lot and it WORKED. Here’s an example of when we came back from a huge deficit in Morgantown. The video gave me chills it’s was called “MBB: The Journey: Chapter 21 (WVU)”
Man i forgot how much i love Kentucky i been with this team for 11 years and i think we gonna win it this year if Andrew Carr doesn’t get hurt we should be good and also that number 4 best 3 point shooter for the Kentucky wildcats and we don’t give a piss nothing but the Wildcats Go Kentucky go 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Great job on these. You can’t show the journey or tell the story without the clips from the game. Please ignore Matt Jones complaining about it and keep doing what you’re doing.
"Us fricking guys are different. We see the world different than everyone else sees the world, we see it different than everyone else in the world. Don't pick up your phones, and just give yourselves like a minute to really take this in ok. Cause this is exactly what you just did out there...what you just did out there...what you guys did out there, is what you watched someone do when you were like, 11, and you just couldn't believe it... just couldn't believe it...and you just did it."
I want to see our "BIG GUYS", Carr, Williams, Garrison, Almanor, etc take those 3's... There was a couple of times (SHORT OPENINGS) that a 3 could have been shot. and rebounding like we did in the 2nd half.. You keep playing like this from the first initial buzzer until the final buzzer, and when those 3 spots open ups (BIGS), i think we will have it... (GREATNESS AWAITS KENTUCKY)!!! Take it, it's (YOURS)!!! #BANNER9 UKFOREVER #CATSCATSCATS
We got a lot of guys who have great endurance we might not outscore every team but we’ll have them running slow come every halftime everyone else is doing sprints we doing marathons

Perfectly said my friend. Go Big Blue!
That’s a perfect summation.
maaaan! spot on!
I feel like I should’ve bought a movie ticket for this 👀
Your not lying
This team is different. I love this team. I love this coach. I love these players.
Wish we had this group of seniors one more year!
1000% we all are family for once in my family and it’s so so awesome to see team is legit championship contenders
I don’t know what kind of awards this video should be eligible for, but it’s gonna win em!
Very touching

Love this team.
Love our coach.
This is an AMAZING production.
More of this, Please.
Feels great to thoroughly enjoy Kentucky basketball again
Class human being. There should be more like him. Everyone should have a coach like him once in their life.

100% in love with where our team growth is headed.
100% respect for everyone involved with this program doing all the big and small things everyone misses ❤
100% in love and respect the media team. You guys are awesome! ❤
That Kerr guy has the heart of a lion always there for his teammates on and off the floor and doesn’t stop fighting from buzzer to buzzer
I didn’t see this when watching the game but him celebrating on a gimpy leg at 14:05 is pretty cool

It’s not just you brother! From the 1st press conference I got goosebumps and felt something very special was happening! Hard to even explain….
What we all just witnessed was akin to a heavyweight championship battle. You are young and strong and have few equals, if any.
Your coach is a man among
men with the experience and brilliance of a coach much his elder. He is a Kingmaker. So take flight you mighty blue, PLAY HARD-FEAR NO ONE.

The passion and drive this team has is incredible

"There's good stuff waiting for us, we just have to go earn it" That's a quote we can all apply far beyond basketball
^^
This team feels like The Unforgettables part 2 this team is the rebirth of Kentucky Basketball again

The excitement is back in KY. I'm here for it!
This is my favorite one of these videos they've done
My favorite parts:
Jaxson in the locker room:
“We’re a fucking mess out there, we’re embarrassing the shit out of ourselves”
And Otega in the interview as overtime started:
“We smelled blood at that point.”
If this team plays to the level they are capable of in March they will be all time legends in the state of Kentucky.

I’m a very proud member of BBN and have been my entire life!!Having pride in not just the Cats but the state of Kentucky is very important to me.
CHILLS! Ice cold CHILLS!!! This team is special!
It feels good to be a Wildcat fan
A team that takes losing personally. Refreshing.
That was awesome Been waiting on this to drop. I love it when Oweh said smell blood this is team is different
I think Christmas came early
Another masterpiece video for a masterpiece of a game. Go Big Blue!

Lucky bastard
Imagine how cold this team would be if we have a good first half
Mark pope you ever need a kidney I’m right here
Yeah, I can be whatever blood type you need! 😂
Carr kinda gives Mark Pope vibes- you can definitely see why coach pursued him in the portal
Things like this happen when you have a coach instead of a recruiter. You don’t fold under pressure and win the important games.
He has recruited pretty well to start off
@ agreed. But he’s more than just a recruiter. It’s one thing to bring in talent. It’s another to bring it in AND coach it to its full potential. Coach Pope has proven he can deliver the goods!!!

Awesome video but the audio is terrible when people are talking. I have no clue what Pope even said at the end even with subtitles turned on.

@JayTheGreat. Fricken awesome man, Thank you
Great vid but the music is too loud and drowns out too much of the commentary. Especially Pope’s.
That’s my only complaint. I could only make out about half of what Pope was saying. But, aside from that, it was an excellent watch.
LETS GOOOOOOO BBN
NGL, You cannot hear alot of the talking parts in cut-ins and locker room chatter but still a masterpiece! Looking forward to the next

I FCKING LOVE KENTUCKY!!!!!!!
love this despite the odds of winning the game
Love this team!!
i cant believe this is free to watch. GO CATS!!!!
you gotta turn the music down when coach is talking. I'm trynna hear the pope

Were coming
This team is the living embodiment of the "Call an ambulance...but not for me" meme
I'm so happy that Mark Pope came home!!
