Latest news and updates about the Kentucky
A helpful guide to the Big Ten and beyond in the Sweet Sixteen. Discussions elsewhere have reminded me that there is still, in fact, other college basketball going on — I had personally set a reminder for The College Basketball Crown on Wednesday, April 1, and gone into hibernation. Alas. Given those results, we’ve got […]
Kentucky Basketball is in a rough six-year stretch by their standards. The Cats have only been to the Sweet 16 in one of the last six NCAA Tournaments, and they missed the NCAA Tournament altogether in 2021. In addition, the Cats haven’t been to the Elite Eight since 2019 or the Final Four since 2015. […]

If it were possibly the nearly play back the last game you played this felt pretty close. When Mizzou played Kentucky, they struggled offensively but put together a run late and found themselves with a late lead. Only to see it all fall apart. The game against Miami was different only because the collapse happened […]
There have been some great games in this year’s NCAA Tournament, and some thrilling buzzer beaters, notably Kentucky’s win over Santa Clara. There is always heartbreak too, and nothing is much more heartbreaking than what happened to Vanderbilt Saturday. The Commodores were down 74-72 as time was running out. Tyler Tanner got close to half […]

Otega Oweh had a fantastic performance to lead Kentucky to a victory over Santa Clara in the Round of 64.

Otega Oweh etched his spot in Kentucky and March Madness lore forever on Friday afternoon as he drilled a 32-footer to send the game to overtime tied at 70. The historic shot has come with a bit of controversy, as Santa Clara’s head coach was seen calling for a timeout before the ball was inbounded. […]

Back and forth Kentucky and Santa Clara went. It was unfolding like many of us thought it would. When it looked like Kentucky would pull away, Santa Clara responded.

When Kenny Brooks took over the Kentucky women’s basketball program in 2024, they were coming off back-to-back 12-win seasons, finishing 12th or worse in the SEC. Fast forward to the start of Brooks’ second postseason in Lexington, and he has led Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season as a 5-seed or […]
Mark Pope stepped to the podium in St. Louis for his final press conference before Kentucky opens NCAA Tournament play against Santa Clara in just a couple of hours. While much of the media oxygen in the room was predictably consumed by NIL rumors and off-court distractions, Pope offered several basketball-focused moments for those willing […]
Here. We. Go. Ian Eagle said it best: Anything can happen in March. Kentucky enters the NCAA Tournament as a No. 7 seed. Not what any of us expected, but in March, seeds do not matter. They matter in some regards, but in the overall grand scheme of things, they don’t. What matters is playing […]
There are a lot of ways you can describe this Kentucky Basketball team. Talented. Flawed. Shorthanded. Streaky. And honestly, that last one is probably the most accurate. Because this hasn’t been a team that just rolls through people. At times, it’s looked really good. At other times, it’s completely stalled out, especially offensively. And when […]

Sometimes, the best updates on a player can come from the player himself. What a concept. That’s the case for Kentucky Basketball big man Jayden Quaintance, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since early January and offered an insight into his recovery situation on Thursday in St. Louis. It’s the same knee he […]
Eighteen seconds remained in the first half when Jacob Crews bolted up the lane off an elevator screen, got balanced and drilled a 3-pointer against Kentucky at the SEC Tournament. Canning that shot also snapped a drought. The last time the Missouri wing hit a jumper, the Tigers were in garbage time, furiously trimming a […]
The NCAA Tournament is technically underway, but today is the day where we move full-speed ahead. With Kentucky playing tomorrow, we get today to just sit back and enjoy all the fun and if you’re like me, probably watch your bracket go up in flames. Ohio State and TCU get things underway to start the […]
Kentucky Basketball found out its fate last night, and the news was a bit of a paradox. The Cats are headed to the Midwest Region, playing just five hours from Lexington in St. Louis, which is good news. The bad news? They are playing the most dangerous 10-seed in the field in Santa Clara, a […]
