- Antonio Reeves signs 3-year, $5.41 million deal with New Orleans PelicansThe New Orleans Pelicans and Antonio Reeves have agreed to a three-year, $5.41 million deal, league sources told @hoopshype. Reeves was the No. 47 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic and was acquired by the Pelicans in a trade during the draft.
- Kentucky is 7-1 against ACC teams since 2018This is where the SEC talking heads lie to you and tell you how tough Kentucky is and how hard it is to beat the Wildcats. Don't fall for it.
- According to his contract, UK Volleyball Coach Craig Skinner has earned a $50,000 bonus by virtue of his team winning the NCAA Championship. It’s not my money, but I think for the job Craig has done in Lexington, UK should double that bonus.
- I would like to think that at this very moment, Joe B. Hall, Bill Keightley & Cawood Ledford are together again, strategizing on what Kentucky needs to do today to beat Tennessee
- One of the great moments in UK sports history. Kentucky women’s basketball beats the No 1 team in the country to win its first SEC Tournament title in 40 years. What a performance by Dre Edwards & the Cats!
- For each SEC football team, most-recent season w/ a win over an AP Top 10-rated foe: Alabama 2021 Arkansas 2021 Auburn 2021 Georgia 2021 Kentucky 2021 Texas A&M 2021 Florida 2020 LSU 2020 Ole Miss 2020 Miss State 2020 S Carolina 2019 Missouri 2013 Vanderbilt 2007 Tennessee 2006
- So how many times in his life do you think Reed Sheppard had imagined himself in a Kentucky uniform, the ball in his hands, the game tied, the clock ticking down and him rising up to take the game-deciding shot …
- Take this for what it is worth, but the only two other times before this season that Kentucky won 10 football games (11-1 in 1950-51; 10-1 in 1977-78), the UK men’s basketball team went on to win the NCAA championship in the same school year
- Calipari: "Let me thank the (Rupp Arena) fans. Wow. What an unbelievable environment."
- Oregon St kept U of L out of NCAA tourney Oregon St knocked Tenn out of NCAA tourney. Cade Cunningham picked Okla St over UK. Oregon St knocked him out of NCAA tourney. Sister Jean trolled UK. Oregon St knocked Loyola out of NCAA tourney. Oregon St: Settling the BBN's scores
- This is going to be Kentucky’s first win away from Lexington over an AP Top 10 SEC team since 1964. One of the 10 best wins in UK football history. Oh, and Mark Stoops coached rings around Lane Kiffin.
- The winning run that put Kentucky in the College World Series for the first time ever came when a runner scored from second base on a strikeout. That play will live in UK sports lore forever
- I feel bad for the Kentucky players. The pandemic has cheated them out of many of the positives that come from playing at UK. The losing has made sure they get all the downside of the Kentucky basketball experience. To their credit, they have kept fighting
