Well Kentucky played as ugly a first 14:59 as they’ve played all year against the nerds from Penn. The Cats’ shooting was terrible, their defense was uninspired and Penn’s Tyler Bernardini scored 16 points in the first half. The Cats were down 31-19, then they flipped the switch, decided they cared and went on 14-1 [...]
So at every game they have snacks for the media. Now I don’t rightly consider myself media. I’m far too unprofessional, unpolished and unpaid for that, but I do get the media credentials for which I am extremely grateful. (I’m talking to you Dwayne Peevey.) Anyway, they have food, and sometimes it’s some pretty good [...]
So I went to the Craft Center today hoping to learn a little about how this year’s team is looking and what we can expect from the Cats in the Frozen North which I hear has year round snow. I hope they packed jackets for when they get off the plane.
Here’s what I learned today:
Josh [...]
For some reason I’m always interested in what happens to random players that had some association with Kentucky basketball. For example I regularly checked up on Bernard Cote at Northwestern. Turns out he didn’t really play any better there than he did here at UK. He eventually lost interest in basketball and quit playing before [...]
So as the day goes on more info (scant though) comes out about the alleged investigation into four UK basketball players and their “associations” with professional agents while in high school. While gossip magazine TMZ may have heard “something” from a “source” that may or may not know anything, it bears a little dissection.
The NCAA [...]

Striking.
goodmanonfox Kentucky freshman Enes Kanter measured in at 6-foot-11 and 261 pounds at Amare Stoudemire Camp this past weekend.
Wow, I don’t think anybody knew that yet.

Today the Washington Post, a paper I wouldn’t use to line a bird cage, revealed that John Wall’s father, John Carroll Wall murdered his 26 year old housewife, shooting her in the head following an argument. That terrible deed was committed before John Wall was ever born. For that reason, John never knew what his [...]
So Mark Krebs does a few impressions. Patrick Patterson says he’s still not sure if he’s headed to the NBA after this year, and Cal still refuses to change out of his sweaty shirt for the press. When you’re 28-2, you do as you please. Lose a few games though and he better be putting on [...]
When Kentucky played Georgia back on January 9th, it was a hard fought victory for UK. The game was close the entire way. Georgia played a very physical game and slowed it down with UK pulling away for the 76-68 win. Georgia is an improved team since then and I fully expect this to be [...]
