April 13, 2012 Today Coach John Calipari arrived at Kroger in Wesleyan Plaza with the 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Trophy in hand! Hundreds turned out to view the trophy, ask Coach Cal questions and relish the thrill of Kentucky's winning season.
April 13, 2012 The throngs are already gathering at the Wesleyan Park Plaza Kroger. Is it the president? Is it the pope? No, it's UK Coach John Calipari and his staff with the NCAA Championship Trophy.
April 5, 2012 Ever since the final buzzer sounded and Kentucky claimed its 8th national title on Monday night, any reporter within a 10-foot radius of Anthony Davis has asked him if he was entering the 2012 NBA draft. (Pssst: I think he will.) So I would imagine that late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel won't waste any time doing the same thing when the freshman phenom visits "Jimmy Kimmel Live" tonight after "Nightline" on ABC.
April 5, 2012 Well, I think we're all starting to agree that when it comes to the number of years college basketball players should stay in school, "1" is definitely NOT the magic number. Yes, Kentucky just won the National Championship with a trio of freshmen in the starting lineup. Still, everywhere I turn, just like potato chips, ONE is not enough.
April 4, 2012 Well, that didn't take long. I was in Wal-mart last night and overheard a man and a woman talking about Kentucky's victory in the championship game when the conversation segued into speculation about whether or not Coach John Calipari was going to stick around.
April 3, 2012 Recently, I wrote about how Kentucky basketball is hated by some as strongly as it is loved by many. For several years, I've known people who simply didn't like the 'Cats at all. After writing the piece, I learned that it's the fans that are the biggest turn-off. Not all the fans, obviously, but enough of them.
April 3, 2012 It's been 14 years and 3 coaches since the Kentucky Wildcats last hoisted the gold trophy. On center stage in New Orleans' Superdome last night, they did it again:
April 2, 2012 It's March 30, 1998. The entire nation is lamenting the news that gasoline prices are once again on the rise after peaking 10 days ago at $1.07!!!! Katie bar the door! Anarchy, I tell ya, anarchy!
April 1, 2012 Maybe Bob Knight is just tired. Maybe the legendary former Indiana basketball coach has simply worn himself out trying to find ways to avoid mentioning Kentucky during their tournament run.
April 1, 2012 It really wasn't the most attractive basketball game you'll ever see. But it was a good one. Bluegrass Armageddon between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals lived up to the billing.

March 25, 2012 The final score, 82-70, is hardly indicative of the beatdown Kentucky put on Baylor in Sunday's South Regional Final in Atlanta.
