Isaiah Briscoe leads Kentucky Wildcats re-load next season
Only one player in this year's McDonald's All-American game, Isaiah Briscoe, is committed to the Kentucky Wildcats. That's a misprint right? After all, the McDAAG is to Kentucky what UK is to the NBA; a feeder system. Last year, UK had five All-Americans in the exhibition showcase, an all time record. They had four in each of the three previous seasons. It's sort of … [Read more...] about Isaiah Briscoe leads Kentucky Wildcats re-load next season

For Kentucky Wildcats, SEC Tournament is meaningless
Like making out with somebody at a bar on St. Patrick's Day, the SEC Tournament (although fun and exciting) is essentially meaningless for the Kentucky Wildcats. At this point UK is only competing against themselves and with themselves. Whether they get upset by arch-rivals Florida later today, or they run the table in Nashville, they're still the NCAA Tournament's #1 overall … [Read more...] about For Kentucky Wildcats, SEC Tournament is meaningless
Kentucky Wildcats: undefeated regular season is imminent
The Kentucky Wildcats will run the table until the postseason. The SEC cannot keep up with them. The entire Southeastern Conference just is not in their class.

UCLA basketball (not Kentucky) is the #1 NBA factory
These days everyone seems to regard the Kentucky Wildcats as college basketball's NBDL franchise. It's understandable as Big Blue Nation has a huge presence in the NBA Draft lottery each year. As UK continues to win draft night each June, and people associate the rhyming phenomenon of "1-and-done" with John Calipari, UCLA basketball gets a bit overlooked. Kentucky is in second … [Read more...] about UCLA basketball (not Kentucky) is the #1 NBA factory
Four most popular Kentucky Wildcats stories of 2014
Every future AP top 25 poll this season will just basically be this: #1 Kentucky Wildcats #2-#25 teams that have been or eventually will be crushed by the Kentucky Wildcats. Or would be destroyed by UK if they ever did take the court against them. Kentucky is very good. They are also very polarizing, and that makes for great copy. John Calipari is the most polarizing figure … [Read more...] about Four most popular Kentucky Wildcats stories of 2014

Saturday brings us UK vs UCLA, and John Calipari vs. Steve Alford at 2:30 local time on CBS. … [Read more...] about Chicago to John Calipari pipeline keeps rolling along
