“Roll Tide” was the catch phrase going into Kentucky’s matchup with Alabama prior to their semi-final matchup Saturday. That was before U.K. jumped all over Alabama to take a half time lead of 37-21. This was despite the Wildcats top two scorers, Terrence Jones and Brandon Knight, going 0-9 from the field and a combined [...]
In what looked like to be an early Wildcat blow out early in the second half, the Ole Miss Rebels fought back and made a game of it against Kentucky. Despite changing the inside of the Georgia Dome to Wildcat Blue, the young Wildcats blew an early 2nd half lead, only to come back and [...]
(Special by Brian Melton) It’s always the same when our Wildcats go on the road. A white out, a brown out, retiring former players jerseys, and senior day to name a few. When Kentucky comes to town opponents pull out all the stops to create an advantage for the home team. And that’s why it [...]
(Special From Brian Melton) Cats Win One For Jorts The last group of Wildcats to popularize denim was the 1996 team that sported those unique, and that’s probably being generous, uniforms on the way to the National Championship. But for the last three years there’s been a resurgence with the man we call Jorts, the [...]
Cats Chomp Gators (Special by Brian Melton) Could that possibly have been the same team that took the court in Fayetteville, Arkansas Wednesday night? Was that the same group of players that Darius Miller led to victory over the hated Gators that seemingly refused to give him the ball in the second half against the [...]
Thank you Rick Stansbury. If it wasn’t for your idiotic tirade and subsequent technical foul, coupled with Brandon Knight being fouled on a three point attempt from half court, things would not be good this morning in Lexington. The entire Big Blue Nation truly appreciates your help in completely changing the momentum of the game [...]
(Special by Brian Melton, All photos by Tim Hamblin) Now that’s a feeling I can get used to. Comfortably watching my favorite team as the clock winds down and the Rupp Arena crowd yelling for Jarrod Polson to shoot the ball. Kentucky led 15-0 before the Gamecocks could manage their first basket and with the [...]
Tennessee had hopes of upsetting the young Wildcats after watching U.K. drop 2 in a row on the road. Although U.K. had lost 3 of their last 4 road games, they lost each of those games by 2 points each. In fact, Kentucky has 6 losses, all road losses by margins that include; 17, 2, [...]
It wasn’t the most beautiful performance ever and I don’t think they will start calling themselves “Road Warriors” just yet, but at least they finally managed their first road victory in the SEC this season. Kentucky came out of the gate with a defensive intensity and focus on offense that has been missing early in [...]
