    Thoughts on our freshmen

    You make good points that I hope to turn out to be true, but let's also be fair to include the factors impeding faster progress: lack of playing time (cannot play them over 5th-year seniors), strength and physicality, not a lot of confidence playing their current roles, plus some other important...

    Happy Birthday Cameron Mills

    I too get goose bumps and a genuine thrill watching that game tape and certainly Cameron's three point shot. That is one of the great baskets in all of Kentucky history, given its impact and the fact that it helped us win championship number seven. Thanks Cameron, and happy birthday! How very...

    No Stress for First Time in a Long Time ...

    Refreshing, now that the program is back in the hands of responsible adults. Yes, much less stress, much more joy and ecstasy, and none of the outright anger felt in the aftermath of so many games these last few years. It is a real joy to know Mark Pope could lead us for the next 20+ years...

    No more Krissa please.

    Pretty darn good game tonight from Kriisa. Some great plays and shots when we desperately needed them. Winning plays, and a crucial defensive play (among others) in the second half. I rest my case. But, hey, don't debate me...call Mark Pope about how you don't like Kriisa and see what he...

    What is this "Time out" that Mark Pope called with the game on the line?

    That's why he and the staff are there during those crucial moments when you can and should look a 22-year old kid in the eye and tell him how to win the game. He did, and they did. How refreshing! No more Calipari ego to deal with. By golly, we do have a coach.

    The Sky is NOT Falling

    With some cave dwelling, beer swigging rocket scientists, it is falling. Unfortunately, not every one of God's children was given a brain.

    No more Krissa please.

    Normally, you can have your opinion and I will respect that. Not here. Did you miss the first seven games of the season or are you just completely off your rocker and being totally unfair? A post like this has not one shred of credibility. Geez...

    On Their Home Court……

    You're right, and Clemson just out hustled us, played a little better floor game, and certainly did a very good job defensively. After all that, and on a poor shooting night when almost none of the open looks went down, we only lost by four. A decent effort tonight by our guys, but you know...

    IF I'M BEING HONEST

    Great points. Very true...most refreshing to see us not be the fouling machine that we have been in recent years.

    Ansley Almonor Quote Post-JST

    He not only has textbook form on his jump shot, he does make a good number of them and when he shoots, we all should get the feeling it is going in. He also brings -- much like our entire team -- a toughness and savvy about the game that will bode well for his only season here. We need every...

    Lots of bitter people out there

    In 12 years, I'll be 80, and in 20, 88. From what I've seen so far, with so many wonderful aspects to the developing Mark Pope Story and his era, I want him to help take me home...I want him to be the last coach in my life at Kentucky. I get the distinct feeling that he is the perfect guy to...

    IF I'M BEING HONEST

    I initially felt really good about Mark Pope. Many things to like, his personality and intelligence being two things at the top of the list. What I did not realize was his knowledge of the game and his ability to articulate that to his players. His style of play is modern and off the charts...

    Big UK Fan But In Spite Of Our Record I’m Not Convinced We Are Top 10 Team, Maybe Not Top 20.

    Let's face it, early polls and early season suppositions are not great indicators of two main things, how really good a team is compared to the rest of college basketball and where we will ultimately finish at season's end. From my knowledge and perspective, with a pinch of bias and guesswork...

    OT: UK Volleyball

    First, you'll love the re-design of Historic Memorial Coliseum. By itself, it is worth going to either a volleyball or WBB game. Second, the game against Arkansas is at 4:00pm, so depending on the age of your daughter (better maybe if she's a little older like middle school age or above), then...
