While signing autographs in Bowling Green Kentucky on Saturday morning, Kentucky’s center, Eloy Vargas, was met by one of his fans with a big question. That question came from Natascha Richardson, a senior at nearby Gatton Academy. She asked Vargas to take her to her prom, that night.
Vargas obliged, on one condition. He requested that he be allowed to attend the prom in...
INSCRIPTION SPELL CHECK?

HAIR APPARENT
Instead of just putting on a Kentucky baseball cap, the top recruit in the country, Nerlens Noel, made his choice with some style.

Check out this humorous UPS inspired Anthony Davis sign that popped up yesterday during Kentucky’s victory over Indiana. “What can Brow do for you?” The answer to that question yesterday was not a lot. While struggling through early foul trouble, Davis was the lowest scoring starter from either...
SENDING A MESSAGE?
Bob Knight, who has blasted John Calipari for violations in the past, has been avoiding saying the word "Kentucky," even referring to the Wildcats as "the team playing from the SEC."
ONE PROUD MAMA
Yes, that is the mother of Anthony Davis and yes she is wearing a little white batman style mask. His dad also looks like he is missing some teeth. What can you expect from a Kentucky team? In the last game of the SEC Tournament, the Vanderbilt Commodores took on the Kentucky Wildcats for the crown. It’s selection Sunday, so be prepared to see if your team made it into the...
