Kentucky basketball delivered the first signature win of the Mark Pope era. Look back at UK vs Duke score updates and highlights from Atlanta.

No. 19 Kentucky defeated No. 6 Duke 77-72 Tuesday in the second game of the Champions Classic. The Wildcats overcame a 10-point first half deficit to secure the first signature win for first-year coach Mark Pope.

The Champions Classic is often a good early-season indicator of which of the four college basketball blue bloods in attendance have a chance to be elite. The games can reset narratives — remember Zion Williamson’s explosion onto the scene in 2018 or Kentucky making Bill Self wish he could turn water to vodka in 2014?
