    We have to be huge Duke fans today

    Can they both just somehow lose to each other today? Best outcome, if possible.

    Cryptic Garrison tweet

    I don't care if he leaves. I don't necessarily mind if he stays, IF, and only IF he actually commits to improving over the summer. He has some tools to work with if he gets serious about basketball. But I don't think he has the, shall we say, mental capacity? to be serious about basketball as...

    Indiana FB cheating

    Out of curiosity... regardless of whether this story is true or not...would such an action by Indiana truly be "cheating" in the sense that it violates some rule that would result in NCAA sanctions? Or is just cheating in the sense that it's unethical and poor form?

    Lowe having surgery Out for season

    This needed to happen because there was no way Lowe was going to survive the season. But it's ridiculously comical how much of a M.A.S.H unit the UK basketball team has become over the past several years.

    What can Pope do to fix this?

    To be fair… I think you could resurrect Adolph Rupp and put him on the sideline, and there isn’t much that could be done to “fix” this team. Just dysfunctional in so many ways. Part of that certainly falls on Pope and the staff. But there were other players they certainly wanted and didn’t...

    Kentucky among the most active in the recruitment of 5-star PG

    Can he play 2nd semester this year? Kidding… sort of.

    Few notable illnesses per Pilgrim

    Someone wake me up if we ever get to a part of ANY season when our team isn’t either perpetually injured or sick. This crap seems endless these days.

    Players getting paid...

    Except the NBA (and NFL, if it wanted to) drafts players who didn't play college basketball all the time. There is nothing that says you MUST play college basketball. The point it, if players didn't like the rules created by the NCAA, then they could go play somewhere else. There are...

    NCAA on eligibility of NBA players

    Exactly. For the life of me I can’t understand why judges are supposedly striking down various rules of the NCAA. As you said, players CHOOSE to play college sports. They aren’t required to do so if they don’t like or agree with any of the rules in place.

    Notable players who could return to college

    While in think this new landscape of college basketball is ridiculous, I’m going to say the players on the team better learn to just deal with stuff like this if it happens. THEY want to be paid like professionals. Well, then they are going to get treated like they play for a professional...

    Marquette Guard Zaide Lowery dismissed from team

    Can he play PG? I kid. I kid.

    5-star Jordan Smith Jr. talks UK, updates recruitment

    Watched this kid in a game his team was playing on ESPN the other day. He's one that clearly stands out as a guy who will be a difference maker for whatever college team he plays for next year. He's a guy that you write the check for and forget about being above getting into bidding wars. You...

    Jasper Johnson is bipolar against good teams. He absolutely should not play more minutes until that changes.

    Johnson is an undersized (scrawny), inexperienced, highly talented, freshman who often plays like a freshman, particularly against tougher competition. He's pretty much exactly what I expected him to be this year. He needs to practice like hell, get minutes in situations that allow so he can...

    Baylor Adds 7’0 Big that was Drafted 31st in 2023

    Is there another recent former UK PG who is no longer playing in the NBA who we could fantasize about bringing back for another run wearing the blue and white?

    Baylor Adds 7’0 Big that was Drafted 31st in 2023

    I haven’t the slightest clue how all of this is legit now, but whatever. I also haven’t the slightest clue if there is actually a worthwhile PG option out there to could be brought in for the 2nd semester. If you bring someone in, they have to have to goods. No flyers on someone we just hope...
