Could UK return to Maui? Mark Pope will get to shape future schedule with some caveats.
kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287672900.html
Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena
- Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.
- Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.
- All of this to greet back a beloved figure.
- "We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Quick Glance: Last Survivor of USS Arizona from Pearl Harbor Attack Passes Away
- The final surviving member of the USS Arizona battleship that was destroyed during the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor has passed away. Lou Conter had reached the age of 102.
- Conter passed away in his residence in Grass Valley, California as a result of congestive heart failure, as confirmed by his daughter, Louann Daley.
- In the attack of 1941 that propelled the United States into World War II, a total of 1,177 sailors and Marines lost their lives. Conter, who served as a quartermaster, was stationed on the main deck of the Arizona when Japanese aircraft flew above him on December 7 at 7:55 a.m.
- A bomb managed to pierce through the steel decks of the battleship 13 minutes into the assault, igniting more than 1 million pounds of gunpowder stored beneath it, causing the ship to be raised out of the water.

nytimes.com/2024/03/29/us/virginia-sailor-pearl-harbor.html
Quick Glance: Sailor Identified: 82 Years After Pearl Harbor
- The identity of David Walker from Norfolk, Virginia, was determined using forensic technology. He served as a 19-year-old mess attendant on the U.S.S. California during the Pearl Harbor attack.
- The U.S.S. California, the flagship of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, was struck by Japanese torpedoes and bombs on December 7, 1941. As a result, 103 crew members, including Walker, lost their lives.

- Walker, who attended school in Portsmouth, Virginia, will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in September. A marker will be placed on his grave and his name will be added to the Walls of the Missing in Honolulu.
