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: Four Critical Questions for the 2009-2010 Season
With Jodie Meeks finally discovering his draft fate (41st to the Bucks), the question UK fans are now attempting to answer is: What will constitute a successful 2009-2010 Kentucky Wildcat basketball campaign? After talking with fellow 'Cat fans, and reading via the Internet the thoughts of the...

Kentucky Derby Festival Classic: Evaluating the UK Recruits
First of all, let me say that the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic was a fun game.
