Julius Randle understands what Calipari meant about him being crowded in the second half:
"I see where Coach is coming from on that. The first half, I was a lot more open. In the second half, they kind of made the adjustment, packed it in. I probably tried to force things a little too much," he said.

Former UK player Leroy Byrd's son dies in an automobile accident. Our prayers and sympathy go out to the family

John Clay talks about Andrew Harrison's big day. If I were the twins, I would ignore all this NBA crap and play basketball. They'll be able to figure out at the end of the year if another season at Kentucky is best or not. For now, just play hard and let the chips fall where they may.

Land Grant Holy Land watches Luke Kennard and Tyler Ulis play. Consider:
In a head-to-head matchup with Ohio State commit AJ Harris, Ulis showed exactly why Kentucky basketball fans are exciting about his arrival in the fall. Going for a game-high 30 points, Ulis impressed with incredible ball-handling skills, shot-making ability, and command of the offense en route to Marian Catholic's 67-60 win vs. the hometown Dayton Dunbar Wolverines.
Read the whole thing, it's worth your time.

Florida squeaked by Auburn on Saturday. I've been hearing a little too much from Gators fans who think they are better than UK. I can't wait to find out. They sure didn't look better on Saturday.

After UCLA lost to Utah on Saturday, Bruins Nation is feeling the apathy. I found this interesting:
With Steve Alford at the helm of Coach's program, it's hard to care. Yes, you want to support the players, but every UCLA win is also a win for Steve Alford, and honestly, it's next-to-impossible to root for such a terrible human being.
Talk about your all-time short honeymoons.

Whither Oregon? In the crapper lately, it seems.
