Okay, before we get to talking about the Duke Blue Devils, here's your last reminder for the bonus shootarounds, the auction episodes.

You see right here, top right at the corner, QR code. If you're watching on YouTube, go ahead, push through that.

You'll have the link to all three auctions. And yes, if you are listening to the show, this is your last reminder that in the episode description, or go to my Twitter feed, Gary Parish's

Twitter feed, the Ion College Basketball podcast Twitter feed. You'll see links there for all three

Tiltify auctions. There has been some schools that have been bidding on all of them, which I love to

see. But if a school wins two of the auctions, we're not getting, you're not getting double the

episode. So it will go to the next best winner in that case. But we're excited. Go bid. We're trying to raise as much money as possible for St. Jude. So get that done. Deadlines. Thursday, 5 Eastern, 6 Eastern, 7 p.m. Eastern at our Tiltify auction pages. And then we will reveal the winners

later this month. Now, let's get to the Duke Shootaround episode.

Welcome back to the I on college basketball podcast.

I'm your host for this episode, Matt Norlander.

We are continuing our summer shoot-around series,

and we've only done a couple with head coaching interviews,

but this is a special one.

We've got a special guy on the show.

It's Kentucky coach, Mark Pope, who joins us from what, Pope, I presume, this is your office down there in Lexington.

Thank you so much for joining the show. Where are you? How are you? And yeah, I'm so happy to

be reunited with you here, bud. Amen, man. I could do this with you every single day.

I feel the same way.

I'm at the Joe Craft Center.

It's our brilliant, unbelievable, unparalleled practice facility here at the University of Kentucky.

And I can't tell how excited.

One, because I get the chance to talk to the great Matt Norlander.
