One thing about this Kentucky Basketball season so far? You really just never know what to expect. Here lately, it has been the Denzel Aberdeen, Collin Chandler, and Otega Oweh show. But beyond that, it seems to be a different player stepping up almost every single night. And that includes the completely bizarre case of […]

Kentucky Basketball was walking tall not long ago, winners of seven of eight, and now walks out with a third straight loss that feels like it ripped the air out of the season. Auburn had the building absolutely rocking, but the Cats did not flinch early. Kentucky controlled the first half, closed strong, and went […]

Well, that was brutal to say the least. Kentucky Basketball’s game against the Auburn Tigers was a rollercoaster. It was a back-and-forth affair in the first half, with Kentucky gaining the upper hand late. Kentucky at one point looked like it could run away with it early in the second half, but the Tigers battled […]

For all of the things that have gone wrong this season and in Mark Pope’s first two seasons as the Kentucky Basketball head coach, there is one thing that hasn’t happened, and that’s losing three in a row. Every time this team, or last year’s team, has lost consecutive games, they have always responded. That […]

Tuesday night’s loss to Georgia is as frustrating as it gets. It’s not a good loss at all. Every ounce of goodwill that Kentucky built up by sweeping Tennessee, beating Arkansas, and taking Florida 12 rounds is temporarily gone. The same pitchforks aimed at Mark Pope earlier this season are now back in full force, […]

Back in October, Mark Pope said at Kentucky’s Preseason Media Day that this is a younger team than last year’s team. Speaking from a personal point of view, it was a statement I glossed over because of all the talent that was seemingly acquired to assemble this team tasked with “The Assignment” of winning a […]

Well, after taking care of business against Texas A&M, Kenny Brooks and Kentucky welcomed No. 14 Ole Miss to town in a game that meant a lot more than just a game. If you were wondering about the pink uniforms, which are awesome by the way, it was the annual Play4Kay game, something near and […]

There is a saying in college basketball: “There are no freshmen in February.” Now, I gotta tell you, I am not sure I agree with all that. I think it depends on the context, but in general, I get the point. By now, most guys should have adjusted to the physicality of the game. Thankfully […]

Rupp Arena gets a lot of flak. And honestly? Some of it is deserved. People who are older (and wealthier) buy up the high-dollar seats in the lower bowl and sit on their hands for large stretches of the game; it just is what it is. When you think of a hostile, deafening arena, you […]
