Kentucky has more Top 15 wins than any team in the country

The start of Mark Pope‘s head coaching career at Kentucky couldn’t be off to a better start.

Sure, the Wildcats have taken some lumps as we’re roughly halfway through the 2024-25 season. But when the moment is the brightest or when Kentucky desperately needs a bounce-back win, Pope’s team continues to find ways to pull out massive victories.

Following Saturday night’s 95-90 road win in Starkville over No. 14 Mississippi State, Kentucky is up to a 13-3 record (2-1 SEC). Four of those 13 wins have come against teams that were (and still are) ranked among the AP Poll’s Top 15 in the country at the time. UK has taken down No. 6 Duke, No. 7 Gonzaga, No. 6 Florida, and now the 14th-ranked Bulldogs. The wins over Duke and Gonzaga required huge halftime comebacks, as well.

Kentucky’s 4-0 mark against Top 15 teams is best in the country. UK is also now 4-3 in Quad 1 opportunities. After all three of the Wildcats’ losses this season, Pope has coached his team to bounce back wins in all of them. Two of those were against the aforementioned Top 15 opponents: Gonzaga and Mississippi State.

The schedule (somehow) only gets tougher from here too. Up next? Two more Top 15 matchups next week at Rupp Arena. Kentucky will host No. 10 Texas A&M on Tuesday and then No. 5 Alabama on Saturday. The ‘Cats also have to take on top-ranked Tennessee twice, Alabama a second time, and No. 2 Auburn later in conference play. Not to mention showdowns with No. 23 Ole Miss and No. 17 Oklahoma.

But if we’ve learned anything from the first 16 games of the Pope era, it’s to never count out this group of Wildcats.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
