Mark Pope Set for ‘Epic Adventure’ Against Gonzaga—Old Friendship with Mark Few on Hold

As the BYU Cougars prepare for a highly anticipated showdown with Gonzaga, Mark Pope is ready to face not just one of the top teams in college basketball, but also his longtime friend, Mark Few. The two have built a deep friendship over the years, having shared coaching experiences and mutual respect for each other’s careers. However, when the whistle blows and the game begins, that bond will temporarily take a backseat to the fierce competition that defines college basketball.

Mark Pope’s relationship with Few, the legendary Gonzaga head coach, dates back to when Pope played under Few at the University of Oregon in the early 1990s. This history has forged a lasting bond between the two coaches. Despite their close friendship, Pope is fully aware that their connection must be set aside when it comes to game time. Pope knows the stakes are high for both teams, with Gonzaga consistently being one of the top contenders in the West Coast Conference (WCC) and BYU eager to prove itself as a serious challenger.

This “epic adventure,” as Pope described it, presents a unique challenge. Gonzaga, under Few’s leadership, has become a powerhouse in college basketball, and facing them always carries added significance. Pope, now leading BYU, has been steadily building his program, working to elevate the Cougars to a level where they can compete with the elite teams like Gonzaga. The game will be a test of his team’s growth, resilience, and ability to take on a juggernaut with confidence.

Pope’s respect for Few is evident, but so is his competitive drive. In their friendship, there is no room for favoritism on the court. While Few has led Gonzaga to multiple NCAA tournaments and a national championship appearance, Pope is determined to ensure his team remains a serious contender in the WCC. The upcoming matchup will be a chance to demonstrate that BYU is no longer just a team that can compete with the top programs but one that can potentially take the crown.

In the end, both coaches will leave their friendship at the sidelines, focusing solely on the outcome of what is sure to be a thrilling, high-intensity game. This “epic adventure” is one that will be remembered, not for the history between the two coaches, but for the fierce competition and the battle for supremacy in the WCC.
