[Moderated by Matt Jones, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson]
When Marshall Henderson signed with Ole Miss back in April, he already had the Kentucky Wildcats on his mind. Henderson, fresh off his JUCO national championship with South Plains College in Texas, said he will show Kentucky who the real national champ is.
“I’m just glad I can play Kentucky next year and be like ‘Y’all think y’all were the national champions, I’ll show you the real national champ.”
He should be thanking God that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist won’t be walking through that door tonight.

Something like this should light a fire under these guys, hell it makes me want to go kick his ass!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:37 am
You’ve got to be kidding me. Is this guy for real.
MKG would whip the floor with him.
This punk needs someone to really shut his a@# up. Either us or someone else.
Try that crap in the NBA my friend. See what Kobe or Lebron says about your punk azz
January 29th, 2013 at 10:37 am
Punk ass!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:38 am
Marshall runs his mouth because he wants attention. I think the best thing that we can do as Kentucky Fans is just ignore him.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:38 am
I thinks tonight can go one of two ways. One we go in and shut down henderson and give him a taste of his own medicine or two we go in and he backs up everything he says and kills us. I think we have a real shot at winning tonight if we feed the ball down low to Noel and hit an open wiltjer on the wings. We have a nice 1-2 punch with these two guys and i think its time we start utilizing their full potential.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:38 am
The more I hear about this kid the more I hate him. He’s like GoldDust, He’s the ultimate heel!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:38 am
why hasnt anyone mentioned that he has been arrested for buying a lot of weed with a lot of counterfit money, TWICE! Lets hope his game is as fake as his money, or as ugly as the women he licks on the face. GO BG BLUE!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:40 am
I already hope this kid turns an ankle during warmups so we don’t have to witness the spectacle of his idiocracy.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:41 am
He is bat shit crazy.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:41 am
How embarrassing if we can’t shut this guy down
January 29th, 2013 at 10:41 am
5…You hit the nail on the head. Those are my thoughts exactly. Either all this talk lights a fire under our guys, we go in more determined and prepared than we have all season, shut him down and play a great game…Or he comes out, backs up everything, continues to talk trash, and puts up 30 on us. I just hope it’s the former.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:44 am
#10 you can’t really shut down a volume shooter, you can only hope to contain him. He’ll jack it up from anywhere and he’ll likely make a few.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:46 am
The guys need to go in there tonight with a chip on their shoulders and play hard, tough, and smart for 40 minutes and shut Henderson’s mouth up! I would love for our CATS to cram every ball Henderson throws up down his throat! We are and always will be the “Real” National Champs!! GO CATS!!!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:47 am
You gotta give the boy credit. He apparently was able to get out of the trailer park and into a college.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:49 am
12…Correct, and that’s also why limiting their second chance buckets is key. Rebounding will be huge tonight. This crazy dude will be jacking them up from everywhere and crazy rebounds will be bounding all over the place–we need to grab them and turn them into transition buckets.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:51 am
I liked the kid and his antics until I just heard the trashy little douche open his mouth up about the real national champs. I hope someone punches him in his eye, congrats on being a JUCO reject that got a great chance just to be able to grace the same floor as the Wildcats. Hope we wipe his home floor with him, and then Calipari and the whole team run over popping our jerseys at their student section. #bittersweet
January 29th, 2013 at 10:51 am
#5 I could not agree with you more. Henderson is a sickness and we need to go and destroy him tonight. Archie Goodwin has to be the one to step up on defense tonight. Aside from Polson and maybe Harrow he is the only one thats really gonna be able to contain him tonight. As long as we limit turnovers, step up on D, and give Noel and Wiltjer the ball then we will be coming home with a big W tonight.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:52 am
I know it sucks but we’re totally losing to that guy.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:52 am
Leave us wondering at least a little Marshall! Don’t remove all doubt! For your own sake kid, make us at least wonder……
January 29th, 2013 at 10:53 am
So, assuming he’s correct, and we aren’t the “real national champs”, who is? Ole Miss? They were 20-14 last year. Is he saying that this years Ole Miss team is going to be better than last year’s Kentucky team? I don’t see it.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:53 am
Sweep the leg. Do you have a problem with that?? No mercy.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:55 am
bout to be huntin some marshal henderson, GO CATS!!!!!!!! 8 is great!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:55 am
Losing tonight won’t upset me. Giving that guy any room to breath on offense is what will upset me. He should not have a single wide open shot tonight. When they have a main force on offense, you have to focus there first, and make everyone else beat you. He makes what he makes at that point. And he could very well have an Elston Turner style game where it doesn’t matter if he’s guarded or not. But those are very rare.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:57 am
#18 How are you going to call yourself a kentucky fan and not even have enought faith in our boys to pull out a tough road win tonight. Cal has shown us time and time again that late January to Early February our boys really start to “get it”. Have a little faith and just support them.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:58 am
yeah chumpz, last year JUCO > NCAA Div 1, ya heard!
January 29th, 2013 at 10:59 am
Unfortunately MKG will not be walking through that door so we need to stop saying how last year’s team would shut this kid down. Let’s hope goodwin, noel, and everyone see this video and use it as motivation.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:00 am
24 I didn’t see where he called himself (assuming it’s a guy) a KY fan. Here’s a tip: don’t assume a poster is a fan…trolls are always on the prowl.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:01 am
#8 Naw naw we need him in the game, whether he kills us or we kill him. After the Texas A&M debacle…
January 29th, 2013 at 11:01 am
He’s not even good. Shoots 38% percent from the floor. If we can’t stop him…
January 29th, 2013 at 11:02 am
Really worried about tonight. It’s not that I don’t have faith in Cal or the Cats but this Henderson guy has been waiting his whole life for a game like this, if you think he was crazy in other games wait until tonight. He has the opportunity to truly embarrass UK tonight on ESPN if they don’t come out ready for this kid. I’m going to bet 3 tech’s tonight. Going to be a heated contest.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:02 am
I can’t wait for this game to be over so we can not hear about this Dbag until the next time he gets arrested.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:04 am
Just being a realist here but our weakest link is perimeter defense. Two weeks ago a shooting guard put up 40 against us. Wish Cal would try Jon Hood on him to give him some length to shoot over or make him drive into taller players. Plus with Hood you can spare the 5 fouls to be physical against him. If hes gonna get 18, he dang sure is going to earn it.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:05 am
It would be a shame if he were to lose a couple of teeth due to an elbow tonight.
This could be just the ticket the boys in blue need for some motivation.
If that thug mouth don’t do it, then our boys are as far as they’ll get.
Shut the thug (and his mouth)
down. Get fired up guys!
January 29th, 2013 at 11:06 am
Anthony Davis says shut up
January 29th, 2013 at 11:08 am
Too bad that Nerlens won’t be guarding him tonight. As much as Henderson chucks up shots, Nerlens Noel would have 35 blocked shots in one game. He might actually get tired of jumping.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:09 am
Maybe he will get to block a shot back into his mouth and shut his azz up.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:11 am
SEC would have sat him down for a game if he played at UK for the crap he did to the Auburn fans. I think it was funny, but you know it’s true. Must win game!
January 29th, 2013 at 11:12 am
If this doesn’t motivate our team, they don’t have any motivation in them at all!
January 29th, 2013 at 11:17 am
Seriously this kid is a moron. He can ball but, a kid from from Ole Miss basketball can’t even mutter a word National Champ as it relates to basketball. Ever. Ever. I hope he gets teabagged.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:19 am
I like this guy. The SEC needs a character. Hopefully he will get our players blood boiling. Nothing else has worked.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:20 am
I wish that AD and MKG saw this video
January 29th, 2013 at 11:20 am
Speaking of Marshall, why didnt he sign with KY?
January 29th, 2013 at 11:23 am
Definition of a douchebag – one who cries out for attention no matter what the cost – “look at me, look at me!”
January 29th, 2013 at 11:25 am
The kid was busted for felony drug possession in Texas. Ole Miss’ coach was talking about him dancing in the aisles on the plane ride home at 2 AM. Cocaine gives you a lot of energy…
January 29th, 2013 at 11:26 am
You heard some dude in the room say “….ooooookaaaay” — even Ole Miss fans know he’s full of sh!t.
I hope Wiltjer sinks free throws to ice the game, goes to pop his jersey at the students section… but says “nah” and walks away.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:28 am
I still can’t stand the kid, and hope we blow Ole Miss’ doors off tonight…But, his comments here are OBVIOUSLY in a joking matter. I mean, even his coach (or I’m assuming) is laughing about the absurdity of the comment. We all tend to get too riled up (crazy, I know) about the smallest thing. He’s a trash talker and is going to run his mouth, hopefully only fueling a fire under our guys, tonight…But this? This is just a joke in my opinion
January 29th, 2013 at 11:31 am
Why are there actually people that think Hood can be the difference maker?
January 29th, 2013 at 11:33 am
C’mon UK. Sweep the kid’s leg. End his career tonight. (fingers crossed)
January 29th, 2013 at 11:34 am
The competition has been doing this since Ray Mears from UT. Then Dale Brown. I’d like to see 5 MKG’s or Liggins’s on the floor tonight against the Running (your mouth) Rebels.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:35 am
omg give em’ shut up juice
January 29th, 2013 at 11:38 am
now i’m pissed, spanks guys
January 29th, 2013 at 11:41 am
Ole miss lost to Middle Tennessee and Indiana State earlier this season. I know they’ve only lost two games but their two losses are worse than any of our individual losses. They’ve only beaten one ranked team in Missouri who is a really inconsistent team. We’ve hung in there with highly ranked teams like Duke and Louisville and we tend to play to the competition of our opponents. I think we have a strong chance tonight as long as Archie goes in looking for Henderson’s throat.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:41 am
What a pompous little toad, sadly we do not have anyone capable of shoving those words up his ass (think MKG, Eric Bledsoe, Liggins)…..I have not been impressed with this UK team’s swagger, toughness, and resolve. Dammit, when you have “Kentucky” on the front of your jersey you take lip from NO ONE…..in particular when you are defending national champions…..if this little worm actually punks us on national TV we deserve to be ridiculed……
January 29th, 2013 at 11:43 am
SOmething is really wrong if we dont beat them by 10+…at no time are their 5 players better than our 5…Archie neeeds to shut that one f’ up…. GoCATS
January 29th, 2013 at 11:44 am
where is liggins when you really need him?!?! I’d love him to be in henderson’s ear all night
January 29th, 2013 at 11:44 am
I actually think it was pretty funny. Everybody laughed, including him.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:46 am
Yea, Liggins would guide Him like a canoe
January 29th, 2013 at 11:50 am
#19—-we don’t have anyone with the balls to stop this dude. #whereiswinstonbennettwhenyouneedhim
January 29th, 2013 at 11:52 am
Can you say “Douche Bag”?
January 29th, 2013 at 11:57 am
just let me go after a loose ball with this dude, please!
January 29th, 2013 at 11:58 am
This Marshall kid is not basketball material. he’s completely clueless with no skills set, including improper attitude and behavior. And dont tell me we have no one on this team capable of f’n up some punk kid. You, for one couldn’t stop him so be quiet
January 29th, 2013 at 11:58 am
get under his skin and he loses it…check out the video starting at the 1:10 mark

January 29th, 2013 at 12:03 pm
@-60. Love it!
January 29th, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Love him or hate him his national champ comment is one if the dumbest things ever said
January 29th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
This is a “Point Blank…Period” moment! I think Cal will use this to his advantage when firing up the boys tonight!
January 29th, 2013 at 12:14 pm
54) its a team game tho and 5 stars do not automatically make a better team. Ole miss has played better and more consistent than kentucky has… I’d be thrilled with a 1 point win
January 29th, 2013 at 12:19 pm
Settle down all you Francises! Why all the hate for the guy? I respect a guy who can talk a little good natured smack AND backs it up while playing on a team where he is clearly the guy.
If you watch him, he’s not mean or dirty, he’s passionate and having as much fun as the fans are. We know who there best is and he doesn’t try to slip under the radar, so if we can’t beat them by stopping him, then shame on us.
Any hate directed towards him is more than likely a deflection of anger towards our own team that has not lived up to our expectations.
January 29th, 2013 at 12:25 pm
He was just joking around. Watch the whole video on deadspin and it’s obvious.
January 29th, 2013 at 12:26 pm
No hate but it was still a dumb statement
January 29th, 2013 at 12:35 pm
It looks like Ole Miss has gone to the bottom of the barrel to win basketball games. I can see how he and Billy G. would have been a good match. Don’t get uptight if this guy gets his points, just stop the others. I hope he’s around next year when he comes to Rupp. I thought Ole Miss was a classier university than this.
January 29th, 2013 at 12:47 pm
@54-I love the 5*’s. Cal crushes it w/ diamonds and, so your insinuating Ole Miss is better numerically? Ok… We are no closer to March today than we are now….. 10 pt. WIN
January 29th, 2013 at 12:51 pm
I hope he gets hit by a bus. Or a train.
January 29th, 2013 at 12:53 pm
67…..go to your yoga class, eat your tofu, and change that tampon…….
January 29th, 2013 at 12:59 pm
It would be nice if various players and fans out there would realize we did in fact win the title last year, because we had the best team, but most of that team is gone, so beating us this year does not make you better than last year’s UK team. It’s not that complicated.
January 29th, 2013 at 1:02 pm
The kid was joking. I like the kids fire. Wish he was a wildcat
January 29th, 2013 at 1:06 pm
@66 Become part of the team. Visualize yourself as one of the “guys.” Take the bumps, bad passes, losses, turnovers into retrospect and realize Kentucky is better than Ole Miss
January 29th, 2013 at 1:12 pm
Ok I could care less about the one hit wonder who will never play in the NBA, win a NCAA championship, win a sec tournament championship, of even be remembered in a few short years. But when you start running off at the mouth about showing UK WHO THE REAL CHAMP IS IS STUPID.He will NEVER EVER win a championship, I think he’s mad because deep down inside he wishes he was a WILDCAT. Keep dreaming. He needs to go over after UK wins the game and ask Kyle or Jared what its like to play for a championship, and ask how awsome is it to be a wildcat walking around like a rock star and living the high life. Maybe if he ask very nice he could get a look at Kyle or Jareds ring.GO BIG BLUE.
January 29th, 2013 at 1:19 pm
Dude is just a punk. There’s a difference between passion, heart, being emotional and then being a straight up punk. Henderson is a punk. He wants to run his mouth instead of just letting his play do the talking. That’s a punk.
January 29th, 2013 at 1:26 pm
78-The difference between passionate and a punk is often just the color of the jersey. If he was wearing blue the only people complaining would be the 60+ crowd.
January 29th, 2013 at 1:28 pm
Yeah, this kid is arrogant as hell. God, I hope we have a break out game tonight. I want this kid to know what its really like to play a Kentucky team. Needs to know when to keep his big mouth shut.
January 29th, 2013 at 1:38 pm
5. You mean to say either we’ll win or we’ll lose? No shit!
January 29th, 2013 at 2:03 pm
well once they get a load of our archie goodwin slashing with our head down offense…it should shut up everyone at ole miss tonight
January 29th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
Can show thread Kige Ramsey get a hat tip? I posted this on the show thread at 10:01 alerting Matt and Drew to Henderson’s comments.
Show some love to the man behind YouTube sports.
January 29th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
What does this even mean? Ole Miss is the real 2012 National Champ? Even though he wasn’t there? Or that they’re the real 2013 champs which invalidates the 2012 championship? Wow, this guy is a dumba**.
January 29th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
No, I’d be embarrassed if this guy was wearing blue, too.
January 29th, 2013 at 3:58 pm
Although it’s kind of embarrasing to be an underdog to Ole Miss in basketball, I have to agree with #40–Harrison is kind of refreshing–I know he tends to go overboard on occasion but what the heck? Our team def. needs some fire–we need MKG spirit tonight!!!!
January 29th, 2013 at 6:17 pm
Can we sacrifice a Jon Hood in the starting line up and he can go out there, lay henderson down with a haymaker and leave it at that?
