Latest news and updates about the Kentucky
Coming into the season, the script was supposed to be simple. Kentucky Basketball knew Jayden Quaintance was likely a one-and-done talent. Even with his injury struggles, the NBA scouts have been tracking him for years.

Kentucky Basketball’s 85-77 road win at Arkansas is even more impressive considering three of their top six or seven players didn’t play due to injuries.

The first day of February comes with seven double-ranked women’s college basketball games. The headliner, of course, is the latest edition of the UConn-Tennessee rivalry. Although, as Zack Ward wrote, the Lady Vols’ most recent loss doesn’t inspire much confidence in their ability to hand the Huskies a loss in back-to-back seasons, especially in Hartford. […]

Good morning, BBN! The question that everyone has been asking, really, since the Gonzaga game is: Will Mark Pope turn things around for Kentucky Basketball?
