I was six years old when the Dream Team put on the most dominant performance in the history of team sports. First things first, I know a lot of people who are close to my age don’t remember the Dream Team, and that’s okay. Let me just refresh your memory very quickly. Here was the [...]

I must admit, I’m not a big Olympics fan at all. I didn’t watch the opening ceremony at 8 a.m. this morning. I may watch a few events here or there as background noise while working on other things. But there is one thing of interest to me. As a basketball fan, I think it’s [...]
PICKUP GAMES AND OLYMPIC BASKETBALL
Posted: 31st July 2008 by Kenny Colston in DeAndre Liggins, Jodie Meeks, Josh Harrellson, Kevin Galloway, Ramon Harris, tayshaun prince, UK basketball, USA basketballI’m a basketball junkie. It’s the one thing I don’t enjoy about July through September. I’m desperate to get a basketball fix in, but luckily, there are a couple of outlets that will keep me from losing my mind. The first is the occasional pickup game report that you get by reading message boards. I [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. TENNESSEE (2001)
Posted: 28th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Gerald Fitch, Keith Bogans, Saul Smith, tayshaun prince, Tennessee, Tubby Smith, UK basketball, WGCGAHow much do I love this game? I thought Tubby Smith did such a good job coaching in this one that it bought him almost six extra years of me having his back. In 2001, Kentucky was once again the victim of the Larry Ivy schedule, as it was as brutal as ever in the [...]

Posted: 21st July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Chuck Hayes, Dan Issel, Jack Givens, Jamal Mashburn, Keith Bogans, Kenny "Sky" Walker, Kentucky Basketball, rajon rondo, Ralph Beard, tayshaun prince, Tony Delk, Travis Ford, UK basketballWhat If. It’s the favorite question of many sports fans and one that we at UK Wildcat Country bounce around a lot. The latest question we bounced around was: if we had to draft a 13-man roster full of former UK players, who would we pick and where? Well, we decided to make that a [...]
The $300,000 Question–Will Joe Crawford get drafted?
Posted: 26th June 2008 by Kenny Colston in Chuck Hayes, Joe Crawford, Keith Bogans, Kelenna Azibuke, Kentucky Basketball, NBA, NBA Draft, rajon rondo, Ramel Bradley, tayshaun prince, UK basketballAs the days and weeks have rolled along, it seems like there have been a few reports in Joe Crawford’s favor. A good Pre-Draft camp. Detroit coming out and saying he’s been considered for their 2nd round pick. But take a look at any full mock draft and Crawford is no where to be found. [...]
Kentucky Fan Friday Night Viewing Schedule.
Posted: 30th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Baseball, ncaa regionals, rajon rondo, tayshaun prince, UK baseball.Because it’s TGIF and that usually means time to watch sports for me, I’d figured I’d share the wealth of Wildcat viewing tonight. First off, the UK baseball team plays at 7 p.m. in Ann Arbor. Sadly, this isn’t on TV (to my knowledge), but you can always follow online with the live stats or [...]
Who Deserves The Honor Next?
Posted: 29th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Chuck Hayes, Gerald Fitch, Jamal Mashburn, Jeff Sheppard, Keith Bogans, Rupp Arena, Scott Padgett, tayshaun prince, Tony Delk, Travis Ford, Tubby Smith, Wayne TurnerI saw a story on another site and couldn’t help but repost this article I put out earlier in the year. Jamal Mashburn is the most recent Kentucky Wildcat to have his jersey retired in the rafters of Rupp Arena. Since it has been 15 years since Mashburn last donned the blue and white, I [...]
Rondo, Celtics Win the Battle. War Up for Grabs.
Posted: 25th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Boston Celtics, NBA, rajon rondo, tayshaun princeThe Celtics finally won a road game. Rajon Rondo was part of a very balanced Boston attack, playing a team high 40 minutes. Rondo’s stat line: 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. The downer is Rondo also had five turnovers, ouch. Tayshaun Prince struggled at home last night, going for 4 [...]
Rondo face guards Tayshaun. Tayshaun isn’t surprised at how well Rondo is doing. Both are UK grads filling it up on the largest of national screens and it all starts for the third time in two minutes. That is all
