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.

It’s the same knee he […]

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 […]
It’s officially March, and the madness is just about here. With the Round of 64 tipping off Thursday, the NCAA Tournament is set to take over the sports world once again.

If nothing else, the new landscape of college basketball is producing a push for more transparency within the sport.

It’s not been a good […]
