The college basketball wonks of the world continue to froth at the mouth over where the Number One High School Basketball Prospect Andrew Wiggins will play college ball.

With the news that Alex Poythress will join Kyle Wiltjer and Willie Cauley-Stein and return to the University of Kentucky for the 2013-2014 season, UK is looking more and more like a team that will be playing on the final weekend next April at Cowboys Stadium.

Hijacked. In 2013, it's no longer a word you can use in a joke. And, trust me, I don't think Kentucky coach John Calipari was joking. I don't think anything could make him laugh right now.

It would seem that the Kentucky Wildcats will face a weird but unavoidable irony when it begins play as the overall #1 seed in the National Invitation Tournament--the NIT.

It's been interesting and humorous watching these SEC Tournament games. Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is playing host to the tournament this year and to look out across the landscape of that building, you'd think Kentucky was playing in every game.

For a while there, I was concerned that Kentucky was going to help #11 Florida erase two big black marks on its basketball profile.

It was a good type of game to win. Kentucky was playing a good Missouri team that was trying to prove it could beat a team on the road that wasn't woeful Mississippi State (7-19). But in the meantime, Kentucky was trying to prove that it could beat a team that was going to the NCAA Tournament.

It's been three days since Kentucky got rocked at Tennessee. The Vols topped the 'Cats 88-58.

The typical USA Today will feature an icon, of some sort, in the upper left hand corner of each of its sections, depending on what the respective section's top story happens to be.

The gruesome injury UK freshman Nerlens Noel suffered during Kentucky's loss to Florida Tuesday night has turned out to be as ugly as advertised. Noel has a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and will miss the rest of the season.

With just over 8 minutes left to play in Kentucky's Tuesday night matchup with Florida, freshmen defensive specialist Nerlens Noel charged after Gator Patric Young in an impressive hustle play.

As the Kentucky Wildcats struggled through the first three-fifths of this season, fans were keeping a wary eye on February 12th, 2013. That's the day of the first of two meetings with the 7th-ranked Florida Gators.
