The Owensboro Post 9 Bombers American Legion Baseball Team's hosting a holiday fundraiser. They're raffling tickets for the UK/UL basketball game at Rupp Arena.
Former Ohio County basketball player Logan Baumann has received a promotion on the University of Louisville's coaching staff as a temporary assistant coach.

Half of the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 is set. And the Bluegrass State will claim one-eighth of it. Kentucky and Louisville both won on Saturday evening and will head to the regionals, marking the first time in seven years the 'Cats and the Cards have made a joint appearance in the Round of 16.
For big college basketball fans like myself, the May-September offseason is the equivalent of Interstate 40 between Nashville and Memphis--it never seems to end. Thank God that in the doldrums of June, University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari and University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino have seen fit to fire shots--albeit subtle ones--across each other's bows.
