Louisville to Play Vandy in Big East/SEC Challenge
The Cards will play Vanderbilt in the Big East/SEC Challenge
UK grinds out 24-13 victory over Vandy, becomes bowl eligible
I’m not going to mince words. That was a game that UK absolutely had to win. Kentucky’s coaching staff approached it in that way. In the first half, UK found itself in a tight battle, down 13-10. In that first half, UK struggled mightily on offense and failed to capitalize on Vandy mistakes. The [...]
SEC Saturday Round-Up – Week 2
Kentucky had Saturday off, so instead of focusing my energy on the ‘Cats game, I’ve been watching Kentucky’s SEC opponents trying to evaluate exactly where UK stands with respect to each of them. I know we’ve only gotten to see UK at full speed for about 3 quarters against an overmatched MAC squad, but I [...]
Duke transfer Elliot Williams thinking Kentucky, Matt Pilgrim not out of the picture?
Thanks to a road trip for work, it’s been about three days since I’ve been able to post anything. I’m going to jump right back in with a VEEERY interesting story about a potential incoming transfer to UK that could answer questions about what John Calipari is going to do with his final scholarship now [...]
Thursday SEC Tourney Viewer’s Guide
It’s been fun watching small conference teams like Morehead State and Cleveland State play their way to NCAA bids for the first time since the 1980’s. It’s also been fun watching the Big East bubble teams (Georgetown and Cincinnati) play like they want no part of the Tournament. Even so, tomorrow is when the real [...]
Post UK-Vanderbilt Thoughts
Ever since the beginning of last season, I shuddered to think what Kentucky basketball would have looked like had Patrick Patterson chosen Florida over Kentucky, and, honestly, I kind of blocked the thought out of my head. There was no blocking the thought out during UK’s 77-64 loss to Vanderbilt, because that’s exactly what UK [...]

Coach Gillispie Pregame Quotes
Coach Gillispie’s pregame press conference quotes were just posted on UKAthletics.com. No big surprise here, but the staff is being very tight-lipped about Patrick Patterson’s status for tomorrow, and why wouldn’t they? Kevin Stallings (aka Kevin Malone from The Office) said Vandy’s gameplan would remain unaltered whether Patterson played or not, but let’s face it: [...]
Vandy: I swear it’s not a nerdy school
I know the UK-Vandy game was this past weekend, but you can stow this stuff away as ammo for when UK travels to Nashville to take on the ‘Dores February 17. Vandy catches a lot of flak from around the SEC for being a nerdy school. Being a Vandy grad, I have always defended Vandy [...]
UK 70, Vandy 60 Post-Game Comments
Kentucky Head Coach Billy Gillispie On how the team bounced back after a rough start … “I thought that we did a very nice job today. Vanderbilt came in and, as we expected, they played very good defense and were very hard to guard offensively and they have a counter to everything that you do. [...]
Post UK-Vandy Thoughts
Things got a little nerve wracking at the end, but today Kentucky got just the win they needed in beating the Vanderbilt Commodores in both team’s SEC opener 70-60. UK built a 20 point lead with an excellent stretch of play at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half, but [...]
Vandy-UK Pre-Game Press Conference
Head Coach Billy Gillispie Quotes On starting conference play… “I don’t think many things change from a practice standpoint. At this point in the season we should be executing much better and we should have a better awareness and understanding on how our opponents play. The pre-conference games are supposed to help us to get [...]
