KENTUCKY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Kentucky Wildcats have another historic “first” in 78-58 romp over Florida
Mark Zerof-US PRESSWIRE
There should be little doubt who the number one team in the country is this morning after the Kentucky Wildcat’s 78-58 win over #7 Florida. And by all accounts, Kentucky is on a run of historic proportions. One of the benefits of being editor of this site is that I get a running commentary of texts from WBN stat guru Corey Price before, during, and...

No. 7 Florida Blown Out at No. 1 Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Doron Lamb struggled to explain why top-ranked Kentucky could roll so easily over No. 8 Florida. It's much easier for the Wildcats to talk about their goal. "I told somebody we were going to blow them out today. I just felt it coming," said Lamb, who finished with 18 points in a 78-58 victory Tuesday night. "I knew it was coming for some reason...

Have the Wildcats peeked too early?
The notion first popped up as the Wildcats were trouncing the Gamecocks in Columbia, and came to light at Monday's press conference when John Calipari was asked if his team had peeked too soon.

UK on the road to redemption
Getting to an NCAA tournament championship game is hard. Getting to two in a row is a feat very few basketball teams have ever accomplished, especially in the one-and-done era where star freshmen take their leave for the NBA draft as soon as possible.
But its not impossible, and John Calipari knows it. At the beginning of the year, Coach Cal said of this Kentucky team, Top to bottom...

Freshman First Look - Kentucky's Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague
As we get closer to the NCAA Tournament, NBA Draft Blog will be taking a closer look at underclassmen whose play or potential warrants the possibility that they could declare for the draft. Sophomores and juniors will get full scouting reports now, but freshmen I will handle a bit differently right now. Without a full college season under their belt, I believe the best approach...

Soaring Wildcats to face tough test
Having won 15 games in a row, including all but three by double digits, Kentucky has reached the point where it can leave everybody playing for second place or open up the race to challengers.
Without question, the opponents the Wildcats will be facing over the next couple of weeks will be the best they have played since they took on North Carolina and Indiana in back-to-back games...

No. 1 Kentucky 86, South Carolina 52

Kentucky (23-1) has won 15 straight and moved to 9-0 in the Southeastern Conference for the first time in seven years. And they'll stay atop the rankings, unlike in 2010 when...

Kentucky values Teague for playmaking, not points
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By COLIN FLY AP Sports Writer Marquis Teague's scoring average keeps dropping. It's just what top-ranked Kentucky has needed from its freshman point guard.

Does Kentucky Deserve Top Ranking?
The Kentucky Wildcats are ranked No. 1 and widely considered as the best team in the nation. That is something that shouldn’t change until the start of the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats have the most talent in the country, and as CBSSports.com’s Gary Parrish noted a few days ago, are just a buzzer-beater away from being undefeated. But Ohio State’s convincing victory over...

Terrence Jones looks like old self
Welcome back, Terrance Jones.
Though it would not be correct to describe the Kentucky sophomore as "missing in action" in conference play -- after all, he scored in double figures in the Wildcats' first six SEC games -- Jones hadn't really stepped up his game as expected from his freshman season.
Until the Wildcats' win at LSU, that is.
Jones was his old...

No. 1 Kentucky, Calipari receives letter from dog
Kentucky coach John Calipari thought he had seen it all, then he received fan mail from a dog.
Calipari said Friday the letter arrived complete with a paw print ''signature.''
The coach of the top-ranked Wildcats says the canine correspondence ranks among the most unique things he's ever received. But it was somewhat fitting as Kentucky's defense has been...

Ashley Judd Forced To Sit On Floor At Rupp Arena
Via DrewFranklinKSRThe Alabama Crimson Tide were defeated by the Kentucky Wildcats (77-71) today at Rupp Arena. Apparently none of the sports reporters were nice enough to give Ashley Judd (who is a huge Kentucky fan) a seat. Apparently chivalry is dead guys.This was the best picture we could find of Ashley Judd at Rupp but it was confirmed by Aaron Torres that it was in fact her...
