Sorry for the lack of morning news, I just figured there was so much pent-up discussion about last night's game that the two articles up were sufficient for that. But you should now be good and bored about analyzing the game in Nashville last night. I know I am. Time for some news.
Big recruiting weekend coming up for football. Huge. How huge? Read this comment from A Sea of Blue member wamarsh. Awesome.

That thing I heard about for UK football's last offensive spot? It's apparently not happening now. Cats have a solid Plan B. Guy who fits.

If Kevin Stallings is upset about that uncalled shot clock violation he should move the clock to the top of the basket where it belongs.

Good news for UK?: Gordon wants to talk Cats first // UK basketball recruiting news
You need to totally watch this interview, and read what Ben wrote. This kid is one of the sharpest and most articulate players I have heard. I actually think I want him more than Wiggins or Randle right now. Incredibly impressive. -

Look Ahead: No. 1 Duke and No. 2 Michigan are at risk this weekend // CBSSports.com
Duke and Michigan are in tough spots this weekend, and I think at least one goes down. I also think Minnesota has a better shot at the Hoosiers than most people think. Yeah, it's in Assembly Hall, but Indiana is due for a let down there. -

VIDEO: DeMarcus Cousins hit with Flagrant 2 against Dallas // CBSSports.com
Oh, man, I was expecting a swinging elbow, not a forearm shove to the face. Bad foul, maybe flagrant by the definition, but certainly it wasn't a dangerous foul. And he did try to catch Carter as he bean his crumple. But with Cuz's rep, he'll get a stiff fine, most likely.
