We spent two days here, first class,” said Gallagher. “We’ve been all over the country, Kansas, and Duke, and this is as good an experience as I’ve had. I want to thank everybody for that.”Gallagher coached against Pope when he was at Hartford and Pope was coaching at Utah Valley. He joked they played in Las Vegas in front of maybe 30 fans.“I like his squad. For us, I thought we just didn’t make enough shots early, and their size really was a factor,” Gallagher said. “I studied them. Studied their three preseason games. They have a lot of pieces. They got shooters, and they got size. They’re going to be a handful in SEC play, in my opinion.”Gallagher said UK did some “unique” things that created matchup problems for his team — and indicated that Pope can design offensive sets that work.“We’re overhelping, like Nebraska does, Iowa State does, where you put a man in the hole, and then you put a gunner. It’s called a goalie and gunner. So they were skipping it, we give that skip up, but they manipulated the floor, putting the guy higher,” Gallagher said.“I give them a lot of credit, but Mark at the end of the day, he did a good job finding manipulation. Now we have to believe there’s a challenge to that. We’re just not ready for that. So I think what happened, they really did a good job of spacing us. This will be a really good game tape for us to study.”</div></body>
