Derek Warehime, hired in December as run game coordinator for the Kentucky Wildcats football under new head coach Will Stein, is leaving the program to join the Minnesota Vikings as an assistant offensive line coach. Warehime’s departure comes before he ever coached a game for Kentucky, marking a significant early staff shakeup for Stein in […]
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 […]
Kentucky went into Gainesville yesterday as a major underdog, and despite showing some fight, fell to maybe the hottest team in the country right now in the Florida Gators. It was a tough loss, especially considering the SEC standings and the opportunity to earn a massive win for the NCAA Tournament resume, but Kentucky has […]
The Kentucky Wildcats fell on the road to the Florida Gators by a final score of 92-83. In a game of runs, the Cats found themselves down 15 at one point, and cut it to two early in the second half. The Gators’ big men gave the Wildcats some problems, but Mark Pope’s team held […]
Mark Stoops made a lot of money while at Kentucky, and he also helped make a lot of people a lot of money. Jon Hale recently broke down what Will Stein’s spending is going to look like while at Kentucky. Stein is taking a spread-it-around approach, whereas Stoops had bigger pay for his OC, DC, […]
The Kentucky Wildcats fell to 17-8 on the season after they couldn’t climb back from an early double-digit deficit against the Florida Gators, ultimately falling 92-83. The Wildcats followed their game plan for the majority of the game, but one thing they failed to do throughout was stop the Gators’ sixth man, Urban Klavzar. A […]
The Kentucky Wildcats fought hard in Gainesville, but came up short against a Florida Gators team that is peaking at the right time. They also did themselves no favors in the O-Dome today as turnovers and missed layups plagued the Cats once again. How bad was it? Well, let’s first start with turnovers. To start […]
Florida’s 3-point shooting and rebounding proved just a little bit too much for Kentucky Basketball to overcome Saturday afternoon, holding off multiple comeback attempts by the Wildcats in the second half and winning 92-83. The Gators made 10 3-pointers and out-rebounded Kentucky 44-37. Missed lay-ups, missed free throws. They’re still preventing this team from going […]
It was a rare week with no Kentucky Basketball, so it felt like an eternity waiting for the Cats to return to the court. The patience was rewarded with a Saturday afternoon monster matchup against the #14 Gators, with the top spot in the conference on the line. Several weeks ago, it would have been […]
The Kentucky Wildcats will travel to Gainesville take on the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon. Game time is set for 3:00 PM ET on ABC. The Cats are huge 12.5-point underdogs.

Good morning, BBN! Well, it’s been quite the season with a lot of ups and downs… but, the Cats have won eight of their las nine and the momentum continues to grow. They’ve won some big games since the embarrassing Vanderbilt loss, and with another big test today against the rising No. 14 Florida Gators, […]
It’s been said that basketball season starts the Monday after the Super Bowl. Maybe that’s true, but not in Kentucky. Basketball season is year-round in Kentucky. That said, now is the time we’re going to start to really find out just how good this Wildcats team is. They had their bye week this week, having […]
The Kentucky Wildcats have had a significant turnaround this season, winning 8 out of their last 9 games. They’ve put themselves in a good position to be a contender in the SEC and a threat once the NCAA Tournament rolls around. Per Fanduel, the Wildcats are +1700 to win the SEC as of right now. […]
Will Stein has been rounding out his staff with some different hires as spring football quickly approaches. However, in today’s college football world, having a front office is a must to be successful year in and year out. Luckily, that is what this staff is building, and UK added a new name to the staff […]
The Kentucky Wildcats have positioned themselves to potentially win the SEC regular season title as we head into the final few weeks of the regular season.

Greetings, BBN! The 2025-2026 Kentucky Wildcats season is 24 games in, which means it’s just seven games to go before SEC Tournament week and Selection Sunday. When UK dropped to 5-4 after taking a pounding from Gonzaga, and when they started SEC play 0-2 against Alabama and Missouri, their bracket status seemed very shaky and […]
Greetings, BBN! The midweek action was pretty “meh”. Almost all the favorites won, and there weren’t any ranked vs. ranked games. The only game that raised any eyebrows was the Missouri-Texas A&M one, where the Tigers went to College Station and knocked off the Aggies 86-85 thanks to a go-ahead dunk from Shawn Phillips Jr. […]
Kentucky basketball has turned their season around with their efforts in Southeastern Conference play, winning eight of their last nine after starting 0-2 back in early January. The Wildcats have done this without their only true point guard in Jaland Lowe — who is out for the season with a shoulder injury — as well […]
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 […]
The game started off how you would want if you are a Kentucky fan: The Cats won the tip, and then Asia Boone nailed a 3, and Tonie Morgan followed suit on the next possession, followed by another Asia Boone bomb. A Teonni Key hook forced the Aggies into a timeout early, the Cats were […]
ESPN released its latest NBA Draft Big Board rankings on Thursday, with two Kentucky Wildcats included in the top 100. Jayden Quaintance comes in at #18 in the latest rankings, dropping from #9 in the previous rankings. ESPN’s Jeremy Woo had this to say about Quaintance: It’s unclear if he will try to play the […]
It’s not looking like we will see Jayden Quaintance back on the floor for Kentucky Basketball in the immediate future. Mark Pope said Thursday that Quaintance is dealing with some swelling again from some rehab work he’s been doing, so any possible return to in-game action is “not imminent,” according to the Kentucky head coach.
