If you feel that Kentucky Basketball has been just one big injury after another since Mark Pope took over, you’d be right. The injury report is becoming nearly as impressive as his 11 wins versus top-30 NET-ranked teams, something no other coach hired in 2024 can say. But despite the success on the court, Kentucky […]
Kentucky basketball has been bit by the injury bug this season and head coach Mark Pope is running out of options. First it was starting point guard Jaland Lowe — the only true PG on the team — injuring his shoulder multiple times throughout the first half of the season before shutting it down to […]
In the midst of Kentucky Basketball’s valiant win over Texas Wednesday night, 85-80 in a game that, once again, went down to the wire, the devastation of Kam Williams’s injury is lingering into Thursday and for an indefinite period of time. Mark Pope said after the game Wednesday night that Williams has a broken foot […]
When Kam Williams left Kentucky Basketball’s 85-80 win over Texas with a foot injury, it was a moment that could have swung the game in favor of the Longhorns. But when Williams went out with 18:11 remaining in the second half and Kentucky leading 46-42, Collin Chandler checked in, and the rest is history. Chandler, […]
Kentucky Basketball had another thriller Wednesday night inside Rupp Arena, this one coming in an 85-80 win over the Texas Longhorns. As has been a trend under Mark Pope, Kentucky got off to a slow start again against Texas, but fortunately, the Longhorns struggled early as well. The first half featured runs from both teams, […]
Last week, we learned a lot about this Kentucky Basketball team. This is a very resilient group. Playing without Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance, the Wildcats came back from 18 and 17 points against LSU and Tennessee to win two huge, massive road games. Slow starts are still an issue, but these wins give Kentucky […]
Good morning, BBN! After one of the crazier weeks I can remember watching Kentucky Basketball, the vibes are back with BBN. Two straight comebacks from the Cats, paired with a hard-fought, heated win against their rivals in Tennessee, it looks like this team has found its heart. Just take a second and imagine how you’d […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Hoops It’s been an up and down start for Missouri Basketball in SEC play with the Tigers currently sitting at 3-2 in the league with notable wins over Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn — but questionable losses to Ole Miss and LSU. At the very least, […]
Kentucky Basketball guard Otega Oweh didn’t have the prettiest day statistically in Knoxville, but he delivered when it mattered most. Oweh finished with 12 points on 3/11 shooting and 1-for-5 from three, adding two rebounds, two steals, one block, and one assist. The numbers weren’t flashy, but his impact was undeniable in the final minute. […]
For the second straight game, it was a Collin Chandler pass that led to the game-winning basket for Kentucky Basketball. Saturday in Knoxville, Chandler found Otega Oweh for a game-winning lay-up with 34 seconds to play to give Kentucky a 78-77 lead. Three days prior, he threw a nearly full-court pass to Malachi Moreno for […]
On Monday night, Mark Pope broke the news that Kentucky point guard Jaland Lowe would be done for the season, as he’s opted to have surgery on his shoulder. That the news might not come as a shock to many, but it does impact this team substantially this season. Despite that fact, it was fairly […]
Tensions flared briefly during Kentucky Basketball’s road matchup at Tennessee, but head coach Mark Pope made sure it never crossed the line. After the game, cameras caught Kentucky guard Otega Oweh exchanging words with Tennessee forward Jaylen. What started as trash talk quickly escalated when Carey gave Oweh a shove. Brandon Garrison immediately stepped in […]
Have we seen the last of Jayden Quaintance in a Kentucky Basketball jersey? When Quaintance was recently revealed to have swelling in his surgically repaired knee — leading to him missing the last three games — it didn’t sound like something that could knock him out for ‘too’ long. However, Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman […]
The BBN is still celebrating an awesome comeback victory over LSU on Wednesday night, but now we are less than 24 hours away from the first Kentucky Basketball vs. Tennessee matchup of the basketball season. Knoxville has been kind to UK the last several seasons, as they have won five of their last six games […]
Kentucky Basketball’s comeback win at LSU will be remembered for the ending. The Cats erased an 18-point second-half deficit in Baton Rouge and stole a 75–74 victory on a last-second bucket from Malachi Moreno. It was chaotic, dramatic, and exactly the kind of win Kentucky desperately needed. But the most important development from the night happened well before […]
For most of the night, it looked like Kentucky Basketball was heading toward an awful SEC loss on the road at LSU. Kentucky scored just 22 points in the first half, and LSU took a 16-point lead into the break, but the Cats battled back and gave themselves a chance. Welcome Malachi Moreno to the […]
Sometimes, you end up in the right place at the right time. That was the case for Malachi Moreno Wednesday night in Baton Rouge.

That shot may have saved the season. Malachi Moreno is becoming a star, and someone Kentucky Basketball can go to in crunch time.

Kentucky Basketball traveled to Baton Rouge looking to carry over some much-needed momentum after a blowout win against Mississippi State on Saturday night.

Good morning, BBN! We finally have some positive momentum heading into a Kentucky Basketball game.

Kentucky Basketball fans are suffering from injury PTSD right now. The Cats can’t seem to catch a break for the last 3 or 4 years. One guy goes down and then another.

The end is finally here for Jaland Lowe’s season.
