Louisville Rallies After Grisly Kevin Ware Injury and Crushes Duke to Advance to Final Four [VIDEO]

Dave Spencer — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 05:25:50 +0000

Until midway through the first half of Sunday’s Louisville/Duke Elite Eight matchup, the big story of the 2013 NCAA Tournament was Florida Gulf Coast. Then Louisville guard Kevin Ware, while trying to prevent a Duke three-pointer, landed on his left leg and it broke. And it was gruesome. And “gruesome” is an understatement. I saw [...]

Dave Spencer's Sweet Sixteen Picks – Thursday's Games

Dave Spencer — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:00:37 +0000

March Madness is my favorite time of the year. Now, I realize that, around here, it might not mean as much when Kentucky isn’t involved. But Louisville is. Indiana is. Florida Gulf Coast is. Okay, there might not be much passion for that last one…unless you saw them perform in their first two games against [...]

Emergency! Emergency! WKU Needs Help Beating the Kansas Jayhawks Tonight [VIDEO]

Dave Spencer — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:16:20 +0000

When I was a kid, there was a show that ran seven years on NBC called Emergency! It was an action-adventure medical drama about the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Station 51 and Rampart Hospital and how the staffs of each worked to rescue people and save lives. Every kid I knew never missed an episode. [...]

Dave Spencer — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:25:06 +0000

People, it is here! The NCAA Tournament begins tonight at 5:40–give or take–as Western Kentucky University battles Mississippi Valley State for the right play Kentucky on Thursday in Louisville. President Obama’s even gonna be there! Me, I’m gonna be right here…in Bracketboro. Driving through town recently, I noticed several street signs that reminded me of that series of [...]

NCAA Tournament Bracket: Overall #1 Seed Kentucky's Region Awash With Storylines

Dave Spencer — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:06:40 +0000

The 2012 NCAA Tournament Bracket has been released. The #1 seeds are Kentucky in the South, Syracuse in the East, North Carolina in the Midwest, and Michigan State in the West. The Wildcats are the overall #1 seed as we head into tournament play. I was taking a look at the other teams in the South region and immediately noticed multiple storylines.

Oh, What Might Have Been

Dave Spencer — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:03:46 +0000

If I never hear CLANK! again for the rest of my life, I will be very thankful. Last night's brick-fest between UConn and Butler set college basketball back a hundred years. You know, when basketball was all about a soccer ball and couple of peach baskets. And after last night's game, University of Kentucky fans have to wonder about a certain alternate reality.

Houston? No Problem!

Dave Spencer — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:34:53 +0000

For the majority of humans, 13 years lasts about 13 years. For Big Blue Nation, it lasts about 13 centuries. But the hand-wringing can stop. The Kentucky Wildcats have returned to a familiar place, a place they’ve been–whaddya know–13 times before. UK is back in the Final Four! Kentucky’s chokehold defense was just the ticket [...]

Proven Wrong…Again!

egrant — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 17:10:18 +0000

Note: As some of you may know, I am NOT a UK fan, however, I will give credit where credit is due when it comes to the Cats and I owe them a HUGE credit. Yeah, my brackets are busted, they are bloody, and they are crushed deep into the earth. My only hopes of gaining any points now [...]

Two Shades of Blue

Dave Spencer — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 05:33:12 +0000

There was no way it was gonna happen. And Big Blue Nation was soothed with a Duke loss the night before. But there it is: 62-60. The Kentucky Wildcats pull off the shocker of the NCAA Tournament with a thrilling win over #1 Ohio State. Freshman Brandon Knight (see above) hit the game-winning jump shot. Up next: North [...]

Oh Man, What a Thursday!

Dave Spencer — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:53:52 +0000

Thursday night television hasn’t been this relevant since NBC’s white hot line-up ruled the ratings a decade ago. And while many were watching the big shocker on American Idol, I was watching the big shocker unfolding in an Anaheim arena. When American Idol gets to the part where we start to vote for the contestants, [...]

My Bloody Brackets: Part II

Dave Spencer — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 05:40:39 +0000

I was reading Chad’s blog about his bracket collapse, and I’d have to say that I envy his 40 points out of a possible 64. I’m sitting at a robust 35. I also happen to be in almost 100% agreement with this Sweet 16 predictions. That, in and of itself, is worthy of a blog. Where we part [...]
