Lamb, a 6-foot-4 guard from Queens, N.Y., was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team by the league coaches and was also named Yahoo! Sports’ National Sixth Man of the Year. He averaged 12.3 points while shooting an SEC-leading 48.6 percent from 3-point range.

He was named ESPN.com National Player of the Week, USBWA National Player of the Week, Dick Vitale’s Diaper Dandy of the Week and SEC Player of the Week after scoring a then-freshman record 32 points vs. Winthrop on 11-of-12 shooting, including 7-of-8 from 3-point range.

“Last season was an unbelievable run for me and my teammates, winning the SEC Tournament and advancing to the Final Four,” Lamb said. “Losing the last game against UConn was tough and I don’t want to end my college career with that feeling. With the guys we have coming in next year, I know we have the talent to make another run at a national title. I want to help bring a national championship back to the Big Blue Nation because I know they’ve been waiting too long. I’ve enjoyed my time at Kentucky, playing for Coach Cal and his staff and I’m not ready for it to end.”

“Doron has the opportunity to improve greatly with an additional year in college,” UK men’s basketball coach John Calipari said. “A lot of players have opted to return to school which made it a tougher decision for him. Not only does he gain another year of maturity and school work, but he now has the chance to put in the extra work to elevate his game. I’m excited to have him back.”

Underclassmen have until April 24 to declare for the draft and have until May 8 to withdraw their name from the draft, provided they do not sign with an agent.

The 2011 Final Four averaged 15.4 million viewers, which was the highest for the two Final Four games since 2005 (16.6 million; Illinois-Louisville and North Carolina-Michigan State).

“We are very pleased that this year’s Final Four ratings matched last year’s strong numbers which were the best in five years,” said Mike Aresco, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports. “We are excited about the Championship game which features two of the most remarkable stories of the season in Connecticut and Butler.”

The first game, Butler beating VCU, earned an average household rating/share of 8.3/17. The game averaged 14.2 million viewers, which was the second-highest viewer average for the first Final Four game since 2006 (14.5 million; Florida-George Mason).

The second game featuring Connecticut’s victory over Kentucky delivered a 9.5/17. This 9.5/17 is the best rating in the window since a 10.9/19 in 2005 (North Carolina-Michigan State). The game averaged 16.7 million viewers, which was the highest viewer average for the second Final Four game since 2005 (17.5 million; North Carolina-Michigan State).

Turner Sports’ and CBS Sports’ exclusive live coverage of the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship across CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV has delivered the best overall tournament-to-date ratings since 2005. The overall tournament average-to-date rating/share, including the FIRST FOUR®, is a 6.2/13, +9% from a 5.7/13. The 6.2/13 is the highest average rating for the NCAA Tournament through the Final Four since a 6.6/14 in 2005.

“We are thrilled at the continued success of the Tournament on our combined networks and look forward to what should be a terrific culmination of our joint coverage with Monday’s Championship game between Butler and UConn on CBS,” said Lenny Daniels, Turner Sports Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President.

The overall tournament is averaging 9.9 million total viewers, +10% from 9.0 million total viewers for CBS Sports’ 2010 coverage. This is the highest viewer average at this point in the Tournament since 10.2 million in 2005.

The excitement of the Final Four is upon us and it is a truly great time to be at the University of Kentucky! For our students and fans that will be here in Lexington this weekend rooting on the Cats from the comfort of your home or with a group of friends out on the town, I want to remind you to cheer loud and be proud, but to be respectful and courteous to other fans and to our great city.

I am so proud of the way this team has represented the “Kentucky” on their chests. They have taken the title of the Commonwealth’s Team to heart and are proudly representing the greatest tradition in the history of college basketball all the way to Houston.

As the country’s greatest fans, I know we will represent the history and tradition of Kentucky basketball with the same dignity and pride as our team. We know you will gather. We know you will celebrate. But remember you are representing the University of Kentucky and let your actions this weekend be reflective of the pride you have for your university.

Please be safe and respectful in your celebrations. Watch out for one another. Keep each other safe. Be smart and careful. Have fun.

For our fans traveling to Houston, please remember that our team is tending to business this weekend, the very serious business of winning the NCAA National Championship.

“If we take care of our business, there will be plenty of time to get autographs and personal photos beginning next Tuesday,” Coach Calipari shared in a message on his website earlier this week. “We have the greatest fans in America and we want to reward them with our players’ undivided attention, focus and peak physical condition.”

We are embarking on a great weekend for Big Blue Nation – let’s enjoy the ride.

Go Cats!

Kentucky really turned on the defense holding Penn to only two made baskets over the next 15 minutes after the 31-19 score.  During that span, the Wildcats went on a 46-14 run.  In the end Harrellson got his fourth double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds with no fouls.  Brandon Knight scored 22 points with 4 assists and 2 rebounds.  And by the way, Kentucky shot 18 for 22 in the second half (81.8%).  Smokin’.

Calipari was hoarse in the press conference from yelling at Terrence Jones and Eloy Vargas.  He may have yelled at everyone, I don’t know, but Jones and Vargas definitely took the bulk of it.

The Cats are in a good place right now winning by large margins over the teams that they should and winning decisively over Notre Dame and Louisville.  This team is now right on par with last year’s team and should have great run through the SEC.  They came into the season as a team picked to finish behind Mississippi State and Florida, but now they are all but the prohibitive favorite to win the SEC for the 9,000^th time.

After the game Calipari once again praised Harrellson for his effort on the court and his total body conditioning before practices this year.  Talking about the lack of defensive intensity in the first half when the Cats were leaving guys with open threes, Cal said, “I was going bananas,” as was the entirety of Rupp Arena.

Cal was still disappointed with Darius Miller saying, “I think he should be all league, but it doesn’t matter what you or I think.  It’s what he thinks.”

I’ve done this a few times in my career and when you’re coaching young teams, your will has to be stronger than theirs and you cannot give in and I don’t give in.”

“Brandon, I’m so proud of him.  How many of you all were in Hawaii with us?  Different player isn’t he?”

Cal mentioned that after he told Eloy Vargas he needed to pull down a missed rebound with both hands Eloy argued, so he was immediately pulled.  On Brandon Knight however, “Brandon is really running our team and playing for his teammates, he can say whatever he wants.”

So anyway there was a game tonight. The shooting was bad and the Jon Hood that has been so impressive lately took the night off, but there were some nice moves in the lane by Brandon Knight. Who got to the basket at will in the second half. You gotta wonder if Cal told him to be a little more aggressive.

Doron Lamb drew a foul while putting up a gymnastic, contort your body shot and Josh Harrellson continues to have great stats when it doesn’t matter. He had 16 rebounds in the first half. Hey by the way, did you see the beautiful slice to the lane by Jarrod Polson? Living the dream Jarrod, living the dream.

Eloy Vargas played well but not great. I’m really wanting to see some aggression out of him. We really need someone to just get out on the court and get mean on the inside. I don’t think Jorts is that guy. Maybe it’s Terrence Jones but it needs to be somebody. What I am noticing is that we just don’t have a dominant big man inside. Let us all hope that Kanter gets eligible.

DeAndre Liggins drew a foul on his three point shot with .2 seconds left in the first half. Fantastic. I hope that this is and indication of where his head is and his ability to make smart plays. He has the right attitude and plays the right way. I for one am very excited to see how he plays this year. I feel like he will do a lot of those little things that get you the extra point or two that you need to win those close games which will surely come with a young, inexperienced team.

By the way, Jarrod Polson is my new favorite player. He had the most beautiful up and under shot in the last minute.

Some Cal quotes.

On Terrence Jones “He’s pretty good…That kid right there can score the ball.”

“We’re still trying to figure out how we’re supposed to play.”

He said to Brandon Knight, “Brandon, we’ve just got to define your game a little bit. I’ve never had a point guard that can shoot like that.”

“When it looked like we didn’t know what we were doing, you’re right. We don’t. We’ve got a long way to go.”

“I like my team. Josh Harrellson getting like 24 rebounds, you know I don’t think he’s ever had that many rebounds in a rebounding drill.”

“You get up fifteen or sixteen, you make two errors in a row, you’re down 12 or 13, you may lose that game.”

“When is our first game? The twelfth? So what I’ve got three weeks, maybe I should panic. Oh my gosh.”

On Brandon Knight, “The only thing I’ve told him, you can’t go in there and throw your body against people….In college you’re not going to get that call.”

“This may be a pick and roll team. I don’ know.”

“Can Josh do this for fifteen twenty minutes a game? Either we’re the worst offensive rebounding team in America or he’s gotten better.”

Cal was not happy with the free throw shooting remarking though, “We’re a good shooting team.”

What is Kentucky not. “Well I know we’re not the beast inside that we were last year.” But he thinks UK will be better against the zone.

“We’re not playing the way we did last year where every ball has to go through Brandon Knight’s hands.” Last year every rebounded ball was given to John Wall.

On Terrence Jones. “For us to be any good, he has to offensive rebound….We missed forty shots, so he got what one of forty?”

“I like the fact that you saw some cameraderie out there.” “They’re listening to everything we say.”

“We’ll get something out of it. I hope the fans enjoyed it.”

Original Post Below
So Coach Cal has announced that a few former players will participate in the Blue/White Scrimmage tomorrow.  I just want to say that I love the idea.  With the Cats a little shorthanded, (they only have 11 scholarship players, one still ineligible) it might be hard to get the right kind of chemistry or mix of players on the court to provide an adequate scrimmage.  This is a great idea that pits the team against some talent that will hold its own with experience against youthful experience.  It will be interesting to see how the old guys play against these 18 year olds.  As my old man always said every time he beat me, “Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.”  Well I’d like to see what kind of treachery Wayne Turner has in him now at his ripe old age of 34. And with that in mind, here are the things I am most interested in seeing from these former players.

I want to see Perry posterize someone. Probably should do it to someone who can handle it with a sense of humor though like Josh Harrellson.

I want to see Marky doing some impressions.

And most of all I want to Wayne Turner teach these kids what it’s going to take to bring home “Number 8″ in ‘11.

Cousins and Bledsoe Handing out Breakfast at Last Years Madness Campout

Tickets for the 2010 Big Blue Madness at Rupp Arena will be available Saturday, Oct. 2, at 7 a.m., at the Memorial Coliseum ticket windows on Euclid Avenue and online at UKathletics.com and Ticketmaster.com. Madness wil be held on Friday, Oct. 15 and will be part of ESPNU’s coverage of Midnight Madness across the nation.

UK asks that fans wishing to line up ahead of time at Memorial Coliseum show up no earlier than 7 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 29. But personally I would keep my eyes open for people lining up earlier. Big Blue Cats.com will be there to cover all the Madness from the first tent until the release of tickets so make sure to check the site as we draw closer to Oct. 2.

Tickets are free but limited to two per person. Online tickets are also free but there will be a service fee attached.

The following items are prohibited, permanent wooden-type structures and propane tanks or other open flames used in cooking.
