This. Is. March. March of 2020 seems like it could be a decade ago, but we have finally flipped the calendar to what will hopefully be a much, much better March of 2021. After a year of missing out on conference tournaments and March Madness last season I am more excited than ever for the…

Winning one game doesn’t qualify as a streak and the Kentucky basketball program is not in the business of “close calls” or moral victories. I am distinctly not here to say this team has turned a corner or that you should all of the sudden be clearing your March schedule. However, an opportunity to build…

The Wildcats can settle into the Wildcat Coal Lodge because there is no traveling this week. After Saturday’s home loss to Tennessee, Kentucky gets to stay at Rupp Arena for both games this week against Arkansas and Auburn. Including the Tennessee game, five of the final eight games for the ‘Cats will be played at…

After Kentucky was forced to cancel their Big 12/SEC Challenge matchup with Texas and entered into a program wide 48-hour pause the status for this week’s games was very much up in the air. Now, we have received official word from the SEC that tomorrow night’s game with Missouri has been moved to Wednesday night…

We have heard a lot about how difficult the non-conference schedule was this season. Despite some hyperbole from Coach Calipari about how he should be drug tested or needed to have his head examined for scheduling so many tough opponents, it was, in fairness, one of the best non-conference slates in the country. Kentucky will…

As an editorial comment, I don’t personally share any…

Kentucky is 3-0 in the Southeastern Conference and is set to take on unbeaten Alabama on Tuesday evening. Just a few weeks ago I don’t think anybody in Big Blue Nation could have imagined a scenario where this team would be playing a marquee game on ESPN to take sole possession of first place in…

It took two overtimes and an all-time memorable performance from Dontaie Allen, but Kentucky basketball is officially back in the win column. The Wildcats have had the luxury of playing just one game per week for the last several weeks of the season and it was clear they needed that extra practice time. Now, the…

So, who had Kentucky going 1-6 in non-conference play on their 2020 Bingo card? That is certainly not something I expected to ever see at the University of Kentucky, but especially not with this much-hyped team. The ‘Cats were supposed to play South Carolina on Tuesday night to begin their Southeastern Conference schedule. However, that…
