Mark Pope compared this Kentucky Basketball team to a Ferrari back in October. Fast-forward to January, and that Ferrari is sitting on blocks in the garage after suffering a Quad III loss (now Quad II) to Missouri in their home opener, where they had an eight-point lead with under five minutes to go. Expensive and […]

Well, last night was pretty brutal. Kentucky took an 8-point lead with about 4:30 left in the game, and looked like they might pull out the win in the SEC home opener against Missouri. Although they hadn’t played well, it looked like Kentucky might escape with a win, and a win is a win at […]

I don’t know anymore, man. This Kentucky Basketball team has shown flashes, but they’re just not there when it comes to contenders. Heck, are they even an NCAA Tournament team after their 73-68 meltdown against a Missouri Tigers program that had NEVER won at Rupp Arena? Leading 66-58 with 4:34 to play, that’s a game, […]

Mizzou women’s basketball is off to an 0-2 start to conference play, losing its two games by a combined 40 points. However, this is quite understandable given that it came against No. 2 Texas and No. 6 Kentucky, who are a combined 30-1 so far this season. It’s no surprise that the SEC is once […]

Good morning, BBN, and Merry Christmas Eve! The Cats are coming off an interesting victory over Bellarmine yesterday. I say it’s interesting because, offensively, it was one of their better games. Kam Williams had his breakout game, shooting 8-10 from beyond the arc. Jasper Johnson played point guard and finished with 11 points and seven […]

After Saturday’s injury scare vs. St. John’s, it was very likely that Kentucky Basketball would hold Jaland Lowe out for Tuesday’s game vs. Bellarmine. That’s exactly what happened as Lowe and Kentucky continue to manage his shoulder, which has been dislocated twice since October, then reportedly “shifted” in Saturday’s win over the Johnnies. The junior […]
