Kentucky Suffers Through Three Hotel Fire Alarms During Night Before Noon Game
Kentucky has lost three of their last five games, which is not a fun place to be. An even less fun place to be is on your way to a noon tip-off after suffering through multiple wake-up calls via fire alarm the night before.

If You're Losing By 96, Maybe Just Let Them Dunk
There is pride, and there is prideful foolishness. Asbury guard Alex Dennis’s decision to try and jump with Kentucky’s Mychal Mulder with 54.6 seconds remaining in a 96-point ballgame was an example of the latter. ...
