Braylon Mullins crushed Duke with an all-time March Madness dagger
Everyone and their mama lined up to rag on Kentucky Basketball for only winning one title with all the talent the program has had. Where is that same energy for Duke? They have signed 36 5-star players in 11 years and have zero national titles to show for it. And it will be at least […]
Kentucky Wildcats News: Clara Strack returning for senior season
Good morning, BBN! It was a tough outing for the Kentucky Wildcats in Fort Worth as they dropped their Sweet 16 matchup to the Texas Longhorns.

2026 top-50 recruit Chris Washington Jr. drawing interest from Kentucky Basketball
Even in the era of the transfer portal and NIL, fans of a team will still focus on and care about recruiting. That’s especially the case with the Kentucky Wildcats. Fans are already up in arms about Kentucky’s recruiting for the class of 2026, or, in their case, lack thereof. Only one player is signed […]
24 turnovers and 24 made shots doomed Kentucky’s upset bid against Texas
I had high hopes for this Kentucky women’s team today, but they were dashed almost immediately. After the first quarter, Kenny Brooks said Texas was “on another planet,” and they were great. But more worrying, he said, “we are not competing.” That was the theme all day long as Texas just wanted it more. And […]
Matthias Burrell commits to Kentucky Football
Will Stein and the Kentucky Football staff landed the fourth commitment of their 2027 class on Saturday afternoon after Matthias Burell announced his commitment. A 6-foot-4, 320-pound offensive lineman from Columbus, Ohio, Burrell has a great relationship with Kentucky assistant offensive line coach Dallas Warmack, who played with Burell’s brother in high school. Burrell, who […]
Jaland Lowe leaving Kentucky Basketball to enter transfer portal
Kentucky Basketball point guard Jaland Lowe is entering the transfer portal and will not return to the school, his father told Jack Pilgrim of KSR.

How Jaland Lowe’s injury affected Kentucky’s scheme this season
Kentucky Basketball point guard Jaland Lowe missed a majority of this past season with a shoulder injury. We’ve all known it was a big loss for the Cats this season, but just how crucial was his presence not being on the court? It wasn’t just the fact that Kentucky was without a true veteran point […]

The No. 1 overall player in the 2026 class, Tyran Stokes, may announce his college commitment at the McDonald’s All-American Game on Tuesday, March 31, in Glendale, Arizona, according to Joe Tipton of On3.

After Arkansas’ Sweet 16 loss to Arizona on Thursday, John Calipari vented about what college coaches are facing in today’s world of NIL and the transfer portal.

The Kentucky Basketball team is about to undergo one of its biggest offseason overhauls in recent memory, as Alvin Brooks III is reportedly the latest assistant coach to leave town.

Early predictions on the Kentucky Basketball players who will stay in Lexington
Mark Pope is knee deep in player meetings right now. All the players have already spoken about their plans directly after the Iowa State loss, but plans change. When the Transfer Portal opens up on April 7th, Kentucky could be getting as few as 3-4 players or as many as 10. This next week will […]
7 keys for Kentucky to upset Texas and survive the Sweet 16
Surviving and advancing in March requires more than just heart. It requires mathematical execution.

Friday Headlines: Rick Pitino says there are no more blue bloods in college basketball
When a college basketball fan thinks of the sport, it’s hard not to start with the Blue Bloods. Kentucky. North Carolina. Duke. Kansas. UCLA. All of these programs together — with possibly the recent surge from UConn — write most (if not all) of the history of college basketball. St. John’s head coach Rick Pitino […]
Kentucky Basketball is looking to get more shot creators this offseason
The Kentucky Wildcats’ season came to an end in the Round of 32 against Iowa State, so head coach Mark Pope gave a bit of a roster-needs update on his weekly radio show with Tom Leach. In Pope’s two seasons at the helm for the Wildcats, he’s dealt with a lot of roster challenges and […]

This year’s Sweet 16, which is now underway, is unlike any other in the last 72 years of college basketball. This is the first Sweet 16 since 1954 that does not include Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, or UCLA. It was a rough year for those four blue-blood college basketball programs, with a lot of ups […]

How would you grade the 2025-26 Kentucky Basketball season?
The 2025-26 season is finally over for Kentucky Basketball following a blowout defeat to 2-seeded Iowa State in the Round of 32.
