By the time I actually sat down in front of the Kentucky/South Carolina game, John Calipari was gone...and the talk of the Twitterverse.

UK's 82-48 destruction of Georgia was its second straight blowout win. It was also its second game in a row without senior forward Alex Poythress.

Prior to Kentucky's 80-61 rout of Florida Saturday afternoon, senior forward Alex Poythress injured his non-surgical knee and was unavailable for the game.

I certainly hope by now that Big Blue Nation has learned to develop a sense of humor regarding John Calipari's sense of humor.

It was about three years ago that I heard about the plan to upgrade Rupp Arena. And, boy, is it ever needed.

Before Saturday, Auburn hadn't beaten Kentucky in basketball since 2000. That's right...an 18-game losing streak to the Wildcats.

The NCAA has established a new rule regarding the draft deadline. And it's a good one. They've simply pushed back the date by which basketball players have to take their name out of the draft.

Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King? Out. Brooklyn Nets coach Lionel Hollins? See ya! And then guess who's name once again has popped up? Wait, you get three guesses and the first two don't count.

I was not watching the Kentucky game Saturday night. Well, I was watching A Kentucky game--the Kentucky Mavericks at the Sportscenter--but not UK. By the way, our Mavs beat the Rochester Razorsharks 108-87.

Back in 2014, after rap star Drake attended Big Blue Madness, he posed for pictures. One of those pictures was with then-recruit Charles Matthews, now a Kentucky freshman. But that was a small no-no.

It was one of the hottest gift items this Christmas, it seems. I saw pictures of them all over Facebook. But I didn't get one. Nor would I ask for a hoverboard. I can't imagine getting on one of those things.

The University of Kentucky basketball team is becoming the Great American Melting Pot. Within the week, Coach John Calipari hopes to have 6'10" New Zealand forward Tai Wynyard on the team and playing. HOPES to have.
