Louisville And Kentucky Pregame Scuffle Includes Bobby Petrino
Louisville and Kentucky's football teams aren't as good as their basketball brethren, but that doesn't make the in-state rivalry any less heated.

Kansas Coach Bill Self Takes 32-Point Beatdown With Humor
Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks were the fifth ranked team in the country going into Tuesday night's matchup against Kentucky, but they won't be for much longer after getting whooped 72-40.

Willie Cauley-Stein Gets Posterized By Some Dude From Buffalo

Drake Is Playing With The Kentucky Wildcats. Drake Sucks At Basketball.

John Calipari Called Into Mike Francesa's Show To Yell At Him
Today on his radio show, Mike Francesa was talking some shit about Kentucky men's basketball coach John Calipari. "He's not a classic X's and O's guy," he said in his particular way. Francesa then took a call from "John in Kentucky," who wanted to defend coach Cal's abilities. Turns out, "John in ...

Enormous Jared Lorenzen Poses With Enormous Kentucky Lineman

Kentucky DT Cory Johnson On How Much He Poops: "I Poop So Much"
This is from yesterday, but what kind of operation would we be running if we did not share with you the most urgent news coming out of SEC football? This is Cory Johnson, a recent junior-college transfer, speaking with LEX 18's Alan Cutler about his fluctuating weight. Johnson says he could weigh 29...

Behold, John Calipari As A Cake
This John Calipari cake is impressively accurate—though the nose is a little wide, the other details are spot on, like the mole on his cheek—but it would not be enjoyable to see this face peering into my window at night. Ever....

So, Why Was John Calipari Hanging Out With Tucker Max?
It may have been the worst Tweet ever. A photo of internet ur-bro Tucker Max just chilling on a private jet with Kentucky pomade model John Calipari. How the hell did this happen? Short answer: Max paid for it....

Kentucky Fan Living In Louisville Dorm Is Expertly Shamed By Neighbors
This, from Reddit's college basketball subreddit, is a shining example of how college dorm residents should deal with neighbors who are fans of a rival team.

The Last Play Kentucky Ran Was Everywhere This Tournament
Kentucky didn't really have a great shot at winning, down six with 20 seconds to go, but the play it ran to get a late look was one we've seen over and over this year. ...

UK Fan With "National Champions" Tattoo Taking It As You'd Expect
Sometimes, as with Seahawks Guy, an optimistic tattoo turns out to be prophetic. Other times (most times?) it turns out like it did for Kentucky fan Tyler Black, who went and got this "2014 Nati9nal Champions" tattoo before the tournament. After UConn defeated UK last night, let's check back in with...

Kemba Walker Made Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Wear A UConn Shirt
Walker and Kidd-Gilchrist are Bobcats teammates, but tonight they were adversaries. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was one of Coach Cal's one-and-doners and Kemba Walker is a UConn guy.
