It was the shot heard round the world. No, not THAT shot. The one where the basketball programs of Kentucky and Indiana agreed to never again darken each others doors. Although, that decision HAS created something of a verbal revolutionary war.

You can't beat a terrific power forward with a big heart and a good soul. First, we learned that UK's Terrence Jones personally delivered flowers to the Louisville cheerleader he inadvertently plowed into during the UK/UL Final Four game. Now this!

With the Summer Olympics fast approaching in London in a few months, now is a really bad time for Team USA to start resembling a hospital ward. But that's just about what has happened.

Wildcats vs. Hoosiers. Wildcats vs. Tar Heels. Wildcats vs. Cardinals. Last fall, UK coach John Calipari called upon Big Blue Nation to help him determine which, if any, of these three annual rivalry games should be dropped if it was necessary--the thought being that the SEC would be going to an 18-game schedule with two new schools in the conference (and it will).

If Owensboro's west end--say, anywhere from Bosley and Parrish all the way out to the bypass--suddenly begins to redefine the population center of Daviess County this weekend, we'll know why.

Man, I'd love to say "no good deed goes unpunished" right here. But Lexington Herald-Leader writer John Clay beat me to it when he wrote about the reaction some Cincinnati-area residents had to UK Coach John Calipari throwing out the first pitch at the Reds game on Tuesday.

You see it all the time. A basketball player dives out of bounds to save a ball, and anyone who happens to be in his path, well...may the Lord have mercy on his or her soul.

Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Wheels are actually round?!?!? Fire is actually hot?!?!? And the national champion Kentucky Wildcats will have a whole new look in 2012-2013. Oh, that...yeah.

How many different ways can you state the obvious? So far, I've seen three. One thing that all agree on is this: Anthony Davis is entering the NBA Draft. In other news, the sun rose this morning.

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.

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.

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" ton
