Officials in Lexington are requesting that any and all who have visited legendary Rupp Arena for any reason share their memories as the legendary sports facility prepares for renovation.

Every year, when the schedules are released, speculation runs rampant about which teams have the best chance to go undefeated. While it's difficult, it's still a far easier goal to accomplish in football than it is basketball.

Well there goes that long-standing rivalry. Okay, so the fact that the Kentucky Wildcats will not be playing basketball in Knoxville, Tennessee this year and for the first time since 1953 doesn't necessarily mean the rivalry is at an end.

With John Calipari as head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, it's been a whole new revitalized Wildcat era -- last year's 21-win-first-round-NIT-exit season, notwithstanding.

This is so disappointing. Word out of Portland, Oregon has it that former University of Kentucky forward Terrence Jones and current Houston Rockets forward Terrence Jones has been arrested.

I'd imagine he'll still have his detractors, those folks who'll say that his generous approach with sophomore forward Kyle Wiltjer's announcement that he may transfer out of the Kentucky basketball program is just an act.

We are less than 24 hours away from Commissioner David Stern announcing the first pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. As of right now, most experts still have short-lived UK star Nerlens Noel as the number one pick. On the other hand, since Noel tore his ACL midway through his first season with Cats, some experts have shifted Noel to the second pick in favor of Kansas guard Ben McLemore.

Researchers at Emory University have crunched the numbers and have determined that the Louisville Cardinals have the best fan base in all of college basketball. Where does Kentucky rank? How about all the way down at number 7?

I saw both the Nerlens Noel injury and the Kevin Ware injury. Noel's was unpleasant. Ware's was stomach-churning.

A year ago, they called it Bluegrass Armageddon when Kentucky and Louisville met in the Final Four. Can you imagine what would happen if those two hated rivals played for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?!?

The NBA's so-called "one-and-done" rule--a kid has to be 19 before he can play pro ball--has come under fire since its inception. It was set up to eliminate the growing phenomenon of a decade ago wherein high school seniors were jumping straight to the league.

It's fair to say that UK forward Nerlens Noel could have taken anyone to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. As it turns out, his guest for the Run for the Roses was the most special guest of all at Churchill Downs that day.
