Sure, they play the game from November until (hopefully) April. But Big Blue Nation never stops thinking about Wildcat basketball. Even the smallest item about Kentucky magnifies a hundredfold in the minds of the average 'Cat fan. And so far, this off-season hasn't disappointed.

Ugh. Former Indiana and Texas Tech basketball coach sounded off his opinion about University of Wildcats coach John Calipari and last year's team. Read all the trial here.

I'm not warning you of the impending arrival of a Dr. Seuss character. No, it seems everybody's favorite University of Kentucky center Josh Harrellson--nickname: Jorts (for all those jeans shorts he wears)--wants to visit Owensboro. He tweeted his plans this morning.

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.

Following their Final Four-clinching win over North Carolina last Sunday afternoon, the Kentucky Wildcats were surprised to find a very special visitor waiting in the locker room.

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!

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.

  When you're selling the University of Kentucky basketball program--the history, the banners, the deepest and most adoring fan base on the planet--it makes recruiting just a little bit easier. You'd think. The recent past hadn't seen a conveyor line of great talent streaming toward UK. And then John Calipari arrived and brought with him the first Kentucky dream team in some time. And these guys w

Toward the end of the University of Kentucky's Tuesday night loss to Alabama, the camera caught UK Coach John Calipari directing a profanity-laden verbal assault at freshman star Terrence Jones. Considering the fact that coaches usually lace their tirades with a variety of colorful language, it's not wholly surprising. But maybe the combination of actually seeing the exchange and Jones' clearly hu

If you are a University of Kentucky basketball fan, then you may very well be on the same page as the rest of Big Blue Nation with regards to former head coach Billy Gillispie. For 'Cats fans, it was a dark 24 months. Kentucky basketball certainly does not mean squeaking into the NCAA Tournament as an 11-seed one year and missing the Big Dance altogether the next. But as anxious as we faithful mul
