What if Gus Johnson was on the call when Brandon Knight hit the game winner against Ohio State ?

Trevor Lacey down to 2 schools

According to NationofBlue.com, the Trevor Lacey recruiting saga is coming to a close.  The big news is that he is no longer considering Kentucky, per sources. Trevor Lacey has pegged it down to 2 schools, Alabama or Auburn.  Now, I am not going to say for a fact he isn't coming to Kentucky due to the fact I saw Terrence Jones put on a Washington hat, yet he's got the Big Blue uniform on this year.

Doron Lamb will return to Kentucky for his sophomore season

Doron Lamb told the media that he will be returning to Kentucky next season, instead of entering into the NBA draft.  This is great news for next years CATS !

No Enes No Problem

Kentucky is a # 4 Seed in the NCAA East Region - Will Play Princton in Tampa Florida

Even thought the Kentucky Wildcats rolled through the SEC tournament, the NCAA comittee did them no favors by placing them as a # 4 seed.  Who is the number 1 seed in the bracket? Ohio State.  This should be interesting.  See the entire bracket at CBS .

Kentucky is the 2011 SEC Champions - Darius Miller MVP

Despite a Doron Lamb injury that didn't seem like an injury at all, the Kentucky Wildcats won the SEC Championship for the second year in a row.  Kentucky was led by the SEC Tournament MVP Darius Miller, who can away with 15 Points and 6 rebounds against the Florida Gators.  The Wildcats are peaking at just the right time.  This is really a team that will be hard to beat on a neutral floor, and things are looking really good for the Big Dance.  Check back later as I will have a link to the official bracket , and hope to report a good seeding for the Wildcats.

Doron Lamb Injury Update # 2


Despite reports I'm hearing this morning that Doron Lamb is still listed as doubtful, I found this video of him from last night, in which Doron Lamb says that the Doron Lamb injury isn't keeping him from playing.  Watch for early in the video, Doron Lamb says " I'm playing in tomorrows game" This may mean something , or just the kid being hopeful.  We'll see.

Doron Lamb Injury Update

Official word from UK is that Doron Lamb is listed as doubtful for the Florida game because of the ankle injury.  In related news, DeAndre Liggins is listed as probable.  Check back in for more news at it comes.....

Kentucky Rolls Tide


The Kentucky Wildcats rolled the Tide with a complete game today.  They move on to the SEC Tournament Final tomorrow.  The real story out of today's game is the apparent injury of Doron Lamb and DeAndre Liggins.  With only minutes left in the game, both players went down with a ankle injury.  DeAndre's injury doesn't concern me as much as Doron Lamb and his injury.  Lamb landed very ackward on his ankle, in which you see caused Doron Lamb much pain.  Let's all hope and pray he heals really quickly, and that it looked worse than it worse.  I'll have more later on the injuries.

All Grown Up - Kentucky defeats Ole' Miss

Kentucky showed a whole lot of maturity as they closed out the game against Ole Miss today, with a win 75-66.  Despite getting into foul trouble Darius Miller really came up big when we needed him.  It seemed as if every time the Rebels went on a run, Miller would post up and get a basket. In the end, Brandon Knight decided that the Cats would not lose this game.  He came up with huge baskets , and finished strong at the foul line.  The only concern would be the play of Terrence Jones, who grilled his ankle early in the game.  I think that ankle injury took a little away from Terrence Jones game today.  Alabama tomorrow ...........

On the Road Again........... I don't think so !


If there is one thing that can be said about this years Kentucky Wildcat team, it would be that this team stinks on the road.  We can't find a way to win away from Rupp Arena.  I start to wonder, it is Rupp Arena, or is it the Big Blue atmosphere that our Cats are missing?  Remember the South Carolina game?  It was a road game that we came out with a victory.  What was the difference?  The crowd! If you think back, boosters from UK bought a huge number of tickets to send fans down to South Carolina to watch the Cats play.  I remember at one point you could here " Go Big Blue" louder than the Carolina fans.  ESPN caught a huge amount of Blue in the stands.
My point is this, I don't think Rupp Arena is the difference. Rather, it's the fan presence that the difference.  Well, you probably thinking, "Duh , Sam.....if you on the road you won't have fans there" Yeah, mostly your right, except when it's on a neutral court , in with both the SEC and NCAA tournaments will be.  If past years hold true, every gym we play in will become a mini Rupp Arena during our tournament run.  Our Cats are undefeated this season in front of a favorable Rupp Crowd(let's just forget that UCONN game)!  I don't think we need to worry about our road troubles.  If the Cats can't take the Rupp atmosphere with them during the tourny, let's bring it to them!  The more fans we have, the better I think we'll do! Go Big Blue

The NCAA plays the bully against John Calipari, takes away his 500th win


Gus Johnson, who is the head of the NCAA statistics department, said Monday that the NCAA will not recognize Coach Calipari's 500th win against Florida.  Mr. Johnson cites the NCAA rule that coaches can not count any games vacated by the school he coached.  He is referring to UMASS and Memphis.  There were much debate on this subject recently, even on this site, but now we get official word.  The bad news is that the NCAA is again flexing it's muscle against Coach Cal, the good news is Coach Cal will officially get to celebrate 500 wins with his next 42 victories. 

Josh Harrellson says he like the nickname " Jorts "
