Statistical Comparison: '08-'09 UK to '08-'09 Memphis
With the University of Kentucky releasing the official men's basketball roster for the 2009-2010 season, I thought this might be a good time to do a statistical comparison between UK and Memphis' 2008-2009 stats (and for those who spout-off about the pungent odor emanating from Conference USA,...

UK Basketball: John Calipari Speaks -- My Take
UK basketball coach John Calipari certainly isn't averse to public speaking. On the contrary, I think he rather enjoys the microphones on the table, and the cameras in the back of the room. And his seemingly candid style is a ... change. Which is a good thing. On that we can all...

The State of the Big Blue Nation is Restive
This is one of the most uneasy times I can remember in Kentucky basketball. As we watch the NCAA tournament that didn't include Kentucky for the first time since probation, and see the SEC out of the tournament by the first weekend, I can't escape the feeling that this has been the most...
