- I went back and checked the timestamps. The final 2:33 of Texas A&M-Vanderbilt took just under 38 real-life minutes to complete.Blame ESPN for the way it time slots games, but also blame the game itself. Need to reduce the number of timeouts for each team. That'd be a start. Cut back on reviews, etc. Kentucky-Oklahoma still not on SEC Network at 9:42 p.m. -- tip was 9:10 -- because of Vandy-Texas A&M.
- The first ticket to March Madness is punched, and it goes to the Morehead State Eagles.
00:00 - UK men's soccer defeats James Madison, 2-0, to win the Sun Belt Tournament championship. UK wins both the Sun Belt regular season and tournament championships. Kentucky, the only undefeated team in men's college soccer, will likely be the No. 1 overall seed in NCAA Tournament.
- That's 5 blocked punts for South Carolina this season. No. 1 in the country in that stat.
- With the first half Georgia just produced against TCU in the National Championship game, Kentucky will go down as the team that defended the Bulldogs the best in 2022 season. UGA had lowest point total (16), passing yards total (116) and total yards total (363) all against UK.
- South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer credits former SC QB Connor Shaw with helping get some shirts made that Beamer’s family is wearing tonight at the postgame press conference. The shirts say CLIMATE > CULTURE
- 5-star guard Jasper Johnson signs his National Letter of Intent to come to Kentucky basketball. “Big time win last night,” Johnson said of UK’s triumph over Duke in the Champions Classic.
00:00 - FINAL: Kentucky 64, No. 1 South Carolina 62. Dre’una Edwards wins the game with a 3-pointer in the dying seconds. Kentucky wins the SEC Tournament over South Carolina. First SEC Tournament time for UK since 1982. Welcome to March.
00:00 - Otega Oweh has felt the love from Big Blue Nation as a rare returner in the current college basketball landscape ⬇️
00:00 - John Calipari says on pregame radio that he asked Kentucky State to not play zone tonight. Said he hasn't had time to focus on that aspect yet with this 2023-24 team. Sounds like UK's Friday practice will have a big focus on zone offense and zone defense.
