Maybe the Mayans were right. 2012 is the conclusion of civilization as we know it. As far as the college basketball landscape in the Bluegrass State goes, the End of Days may as well get here because we will never see anything like we’ve seen in this NCAA tournament.  The stage is set for UK and Louisville to meet in the Final Four in New Orleans.

Bullitt East big man becomes Calipari's first 2013 commitment

After reopening his recruitment in summer 2010, 6’9” junior Derek Willis has never lacked for options. Since setting foot as a freshman at Bullitt East, the dynamic forward has garnered attention from big time college coaches in both Kentucky and Indiana.

Calipari baiting fans again with threats of breaking tradition [Sports]

Calipari hints the traditional "home" game at Freedom Hall may come to an end if fans don't show. If the school puts a halt to future games there, it can only blame itself.

UK basketball coach John Calipari’s checklist for the week: Beat Lamar into the ground but not be happy about it…check (after the 86-64 win on December 28th, Calipari said he “wasn’t in a great frame of mind”). Next on the list: beat rival Louisville for a third straight time…check. Item #3…let’s see…stir up Big Blue Nation again with some off-the-cuff comments about breaking tradition…check.

Pitino and Calipari: When you say nothing at all [Sports]

Yogi Berra once (allegedly) said that "it was impossible to get a conversation going. Everyone was talking too much." That's the way I envision a conversation with Pitino and Calipari, the masters of hyperbole and semi-truths.

After knocking off College of Charleston 69-62 Tuesday night at the KFC Yum! Center, UofL head coach Rick Pitino has decided to add another game before Friday’s scheduled meeting with Western Kentucky.

UK deflated and UofL rolls while we count down to New Year's Eve [Sports]

Most overlooked stat of coach John Calipari's career at UK: he's 11-10 on opponent's courts. Lucky for the Wildcats, they won't leave the Bluegrass State until January 11th...but there is that little game with Louisville still on the horizon.

The Indiana Hoosiers garlic burped in the face of Big Blue Nation Saturday with a gutsy 73-72 win over the undefeated and top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats in Bloomington. Christian Watford’s last second three-pointer preserved Indiana’s perfect record (now 9-0) while bringing the young bunch of Wildcats back to Earth…at least momentarily.
