With SEC basketball play set to tipoff in less than three weeks, game times have been updated for several conference games, including two Kentucky basketball games. Both changes are less than three hours’ difference from their original times, so nothing too significant, but are more inconvenient for those planning on attending. The Alabama game, formerly […]

Good morning, BBN! Well, it finally happened. Angry Mark Pope is here. After an abysmal start and hitting rock bottom against the Zags last Friday, it looks like Mark Pope isn’t playing the nice guy anymore. The game started without any sign of Kam Williams and Jaland Lowe on the court, and it looks like […]

When Mark Pope called a timeout midway through the first half, with Kentucky basketball leading 29-21, it was the turning point of the game Tuesday night against NC Central. Brandon Garrison was benched for a lack of hustle back on defense, and that was Pope finally lighting the fire this team has needed for so […]

When Mark Pope took the Kentucky basketball job, he said all the right things. He talked about understanding the assignment. He talked about what it means to wear Kentucky across your chest, to play for Big Blue Nation, to leave a legacy in a place that remembers everything. He wanted each and every player to […]

Kentucky Basketball is back in action tonight, hosting the North Carolina Central Eagles. It’ll be interesting to see how the Wildcats respond to Friday’s embarrassing showing in Nashville, where the Cats were absolutely dominated by Gonzaga 94-59. Will Kentucky come out and dominate this game against an inferior opponent? Will Kentucky’s offensive struggles carry over […]

Following a big win against Kentucky last week, it would’ve been understandable if UNC had a hangover going into yesterday’s game against Georgetown. It’s something we’ve seen from previous teams, and while it tends to be a really frustrating situation, it at least would’ve been predictable. However, this Carolina team was able to handily dispatch […]

As expected, Kentucky basketball fell out of the top 25 polls and took a dip in the analytics. Meanwhile, the women are now a top 15 team in several major rankings. Both the AP Top 25 Poll and the Coaches Top 25 Poll no longer have Kentucky in the top 25. The women’s AP Poll […]

It’s hard to believe, but we’re already a quarter of the way through UNC men’s basketball’s regular season schedule. Carolina is sporting a 7-1 record heading into Sunday’s matchup against Georgetown. The Heels have defeated fellow blood-blood programs Kansas and Kentucky in the same season for the first time since 1982; overall, I would guess […]

Can Kentucky Basketball’s season be saved? It’s a tough question. On one hand, we still haven’t seen this team fully healthy, and there are talented players on the roster. On paper, this team should be a lot better than what it has been. But on the other hand, this team has flaws that I’m not […]

Maryland has moved from No. 9 to No. 7 in the nation since we last checked in on them, with their first ranked win of the season coming 74-66 over now-No. 17 Kentucky in Puerto Rico the day before Thanksgiving. The now 10-0 Terps also picked up a quality win over George Mason on Nov. […]

As Duke fans, we’ve had to deal with Kentucky fans since at least 1992, when Christian Laettner ripped the still-beating heart out of BBN’s collective chest and stomped it flat in the Spectrum. We wouldn’t give that game back for anything, but we wouldn’t wish the joy of Kentucky fans on anyone either. And we […]

Kentucky basketball is awaiting the debut of big man Jayden Quaintance. The transfer from Arizona State has not appeared in a game for the Wildcats yet, as he has been rehabbing from an ACL tear.

Gonzaga had its share of rough nights last season, but the Kentucky game sits in its own category. The Zags rolled into Climate Pledge Arena with the confidence of a group still buzzing from the season-opening win over Baylor, built an 18-point lead, and looked ready to put a top-five opponent in a headlock. Then […]

The federal legislation Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart hoped would stabilize the future of college sports is now dead for the moment. The SCORE Act, once viewed as the most viable path toward national regulation of NIL, revenue sharing, and athlete protections, was pulled from the U.S. House floor just hours before a scheduled vote […]

Things are looking bleak for Kentucky basketball right now. Starting 0-3 against ranked teams, being heavily outplayed in two of the games, is not what anyone expected from the highest-paid roster in college basketball.

In today’s world of NIL, having a general manager to help run your program is imperative. It’s also something Kentucky hasn’t had in either men’s basketball or football. Mark Pope’s program relies on former Georgia head coach Mark Fox as its de facto GM, while Mark Stoops’ team had Eddie Gran working in the same […]

It might be a little bit much to give someone player of the game based mainly on two plays, but they were quite important ones. Derek Dixon did not lead North Carolina in any of the typical box score stats in Tuesday’s 67-64 win over Kentucky. The reason we’re giving him the nod is that […]
