The ice storm that ravaged much of Kentucky has put the staff of UKWC in a bit of a bind when it comes to posting. Please bear with us until we can get power and such restored. Once that happens, we’ll be ready to roll again. The storm also explains why we’ve been a little [...]

THE WEEKEND THAT WAS IN THE SEC

Let’s focus on the other 11 teams first. Auburn destroyed Arkansas. I want to say this was the most surprising outcome of the year in the conference, but as we go forward in this season, I don’t think it will be. Auburn played so well against Kentucky that Big Blue Nation had to wonder if [...]
POLLS! VOTERS! WILD FUN!

In case you don’t have the dates circled every week, today is when both polls come out. Last time, the Cats may or may not have been snubbed. Can they jump into the AP Top 25? What about at least getting close in the coaches poll? Today we will see. We may or may not [...]
ROLLIN’ THE TIDE

Five down, 11 more to go. The conference schedule can be a real grind at times, and there will be games where a lot of stuff goes wrong – like Patrick Patterson battling foul trouble all day long and being a statistical non-factor. In those games where a lot of stuff goes wrong, it takes [...]
AND THEN THERE WAS ONE…

That’s right, there’s one undefeated team left in the SEC, and it’s our favorite team. Let’s go ahead and get this out in the open. Darius Miller should have gotten about five times the playing time that he got last night. Ramon Harris played poorly. Miller did not. I understand Coach has his reasons for [...]
Patrick Patterson is a beast. Period.

Ed. note: This is my column, running in today’s newspaper. Thought you might enjoy it. Let’s not forget about Patrick Patterson. You wouldn’t think you could, when the sophomore forward consistently turns in a double-double, although not always in the same way he did during Wednesday night’s 73-64 win against Auburn. How could you forget [...]
REMINDER!

UK further proves that they have regained their SEC throne with a scheduled trashing of Auburn tonight. The show starts at 9 p.m. in Rupp Arena. See you there.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE COACHES’ POLL
Posted: 20th January 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Florida Gators, NCAA basketball, SEC basketball, UK basketball
The AP Poll came out yesterday, and Kentucky was ranked 3rd among the “others receiving votes” category, or 28th in the country. That’s all fine and good because Kentucky is going to keep on winning games and in due time, the pollsters will have no other choice. The Coaches’ Poll came out while I was [...]
Dear Coaches, Thanks for the Motivation.

Trust me, If any of Billy Gillispie’s peers in the SEC have votes in the USA Today coaches poll, you just gave UK some great motivation. I’m not kidding. One week after the absolute trashing of Tennessee, who has beat such teams as Marquette and Georgetown this season, in Knoxville and then easily dismantling Georgia [...]
Some Shocking News!

A couple of tidbits from today’s news. First off, my post before must have been way too premature because the polls have been released and the Cats are nowhere to be found in either. In fact, the SEC’s sole representative is Florida at #24 in the AP Poll. The Cats received 105 votes in the [...]
