Kentucky Wildcats Saturday Links And Open Thread

Here are a few stories to talk about as we wait for the Wildcats to take on the Auburn Tigers tonight at 7:00 PM. Treat this as an open thread to discuss anything Kentucky or college sports related. Remember that we also have the NFL Combine going on in Indianapolis this weekend, and 4 Wildcats are participating.

Stories to talk about

• Nice job by UNC running an offense in honor of Dean Smith that we all loathe:

  North Carolina honored Dean Smith by running 4 Corners on its first possession. It worked. http://t.co/45PGbGvsU2 https://t.co/MasWjOjEHn

• Heh. Lock her up!

• Coach Cal talks about UK signee Charles Matthews. Consider:

  "I don’t care where people have people ranked. Devin Booker was ranked 30th or 28th. It doesn’t matter to me. It’s who do I like and who do I want to coach and then we try to take those guys to another level. … (Matthews is) the least of our worries, but we need to sign a few more guys though."
