January 14, 2015 ‘Charlie Sheen Is Glad The Platoons Are Back’ Edition
John Calipari went ‘full platoon’ on Tuesday night, and the Cats beat Missouri by 49. (Picture used as a blatant attempt to get attention and of course has nothing to do with UK or the Sports Edge!)
Kentucky fans wanted more of a breather on Tuesday night. The stage was set with a bad Missouri team in town, and the fans got what they want. Cats whip Mizzou 86 – 37. Cats now 16 and 0, 3 and 0 in conference play.
Karl Towns with a double double, 12 points and 10 rebounds as well as five blocks. Aaron Harrison had 16 points and Willie Cauley-Stein 13. On the rebound side Dakari Johnson with 7 and Marcus Lee with 6.
A new addition to the regular rotation-Dominique Hawkins, who played 20 minutes and scored six points.
CalClipOne
According to Cal, another reason Kentucky was back on track was the return of the platoon system and what that did for defense.
CalClipTwo
Karl Towns with that double double, and Cal thinks he’s playing good. But he can get a LOT better.
CalClipThree
We’ll have more on the Missouri game tomorrow.
UK’s 16 and 0 start is the fourth best start in the program’s history. Cats are back in action Saturday afternoon as they travel to Alabama.
Predators beat Vancouver Tuesday night 5 to 1.

January 13, 2015 ‘Kentucky Is Shooting 33% From WHERE?’ Edition
Sit down before you find out who lately has been the WORST two point shooting team in the country….

UK is number one in both polls again this week, but as we predicted, a few of those first place votes were siphoned off in the coaches poll by Virginia. For the first time since December 8th, UK did NOT get all the first place votes in the AP Top 25.
Kentucky received 63 of 65 total first place votes in the AP poll, and 31 of 32 first place votes in the USA Today Coaches poll. Virginia is the only other team receiving first place votes. They are the last two undefeated teams left in college basketball after a rash of losses over the past weekend.
Here’s an interesting statistic for you. When a John Calipari coached team is ranked number 1, Cal is 77 and 9. At UK he is 36 and 4 when the Cats are on top.
Missouri is at Rupp tonight. Cal let coach Kenny Payne brief the media Monday. He’s preaching the old “we’re not playing very good defensively” sermon.
KennyPayneOne
Let me remind you the game with A&M ended up 53 all at the end of regulation. You’d think holding a team to 53 points was some pretty good defense. And then there’s the “every night is the other team’s super bowl” blah, blah, blah argument.
KennyPayneTwo
Yeah… Ok… 53 all at the end of regulation. Hmm. Could it be that Kentucky isn’t playing well OFFENSIVELY? Here’s a fact for you. Since December 25th, Kentucky is the worst 2 point shooting in the country. You heard right. Worst. In the COUNTRY. Hitting just 33% of the 2 point shots. OK… better defense it is.
According to Karl Towns, the offense comes around when the defense plays better.
TownsClip
Sooooo… playing better defense will help raise that 33% shooting percentage. Interesting. Marcus Lee was asked if the team realizes the amount of talent they have and their thoughts on the last few games.
MarcusLeeClip
So, focus it is. How about ‘focusing’ on that 2 point shooting percentage? You can hear the Cats and Mizzou at 6:30 on 106.5 WKDZ.
And congratulations to the Ohio State Buckeyes. They won college football’s national championship last night over the Oregon Ducks 42 – 20. Urban Meyer’s third national championship. Two at Florida and his first at Ohio State.

January 12, 2015 ‘UK Football: At Least We’ve Got Cool Uniforms’ Edition
UK gets some football respect, but it’s for ‘looking good’, not playing good!
So here’s your trivia question of the day. What do College Station, Texas… and Paducah, Kentucky have in common?
The answer? On Saturday, bot cities played host to John Calipari of the Kentucky Wildcats.
Just a few hours after his UK squad squeaked out a double overtime victory against Texas A&M, Cal had relocated to Paducah to watch possible recruits Malik Newman, Thon Maker, Josh Jackson and others in McCracken County’s ‘Mustang Madness’. Add to that, that UK signee Skal Labissiere was also playing in Paducah and you had quite the recruiting trip.
Cats are back at Rupp tomorrow night where they’ll take on Missouri. They’ll have a special guest for the game tomorrow. Tai Wynyard is a 6 foot 9 inch power forward from New Zealand and is considering playing in the US. He arrived in Lexington yesterday and will visit Texas and Villanova while in the US.
Area action over the weekend saw Murray State beat Jacksonville Sunday afternoon 84-57, Western Kentucky over Old Dominion 72 -65 in Bowling Green, and Austin Peay loses to Tennessee Tech Saturday night 72 – 56.
An honor for UK’s football team over the weekend. Didn’t involve playing, but the website Uniformswag named UK’s South Carolina uniform the “Uni of the Year” award for best uniform.
You may recall that uniform as being primarily black with royal blue accents and chrome helmets.
UK beat out a dozen or more teams including Navy, Notre Dame, Oregon, Illinois, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Miami, North Carolina, Louisville and Baylor.
Canucks are in Smashville Tuesday night to take on the Preds. Nashville back on top in the Central Division now with a 28 – 9 and 4 record.
And we’re down to our final four teams vying for the Super Bowl. Green Bay and Seattle will meet for the NFC Championship and Indianapolis and New England will play for the AFC Championship.

January 09, 2015 ‘D Day In Kentucky As Damien Harris Decides’ Edition
The smiling young man in the picture is Damien Harris. Whether UK fans will be smiling this afternoon remains to be seen.
Today is the day that high school All American running back Damien Harris picks his college. It’s down to Ohio State, Alabama and Kentucky. Early hopes were that he was going to pick UK, but over the last 48 hours the pundits have switched and it is NOW thought he’ll be picking Alabama instead. He makes the pick early this afternoon.
The Kentucky Wildcats are on the road tomorrow for their first SEC game of the year, as they take on Texas A&M in College Station. John Calipari talks about some of the big problems in Tuesday’s squeaker with Ole Miss.
CalOne
He also said having 9 players instead of ten is changing the way the platoon system actually works. And it could lead to one platoon getting significantly more playing time than the other.
CalTwo
If you remember the first platoon jumped out on Ole Miss with a 12 – nothing lead, a lead which slipped away when the first wholesale substitution took place. Finally Cal gives us a preview of what to expect from Texas A&M.
CalThree
Last night in college hoops, Western Kentucky beats the Charlotte 49ers 74 – 66, Murray State over Tennessee Tech 83 to 67, Austin Peay loses to Jacksonville State 71 to 59.
Predators beat the Dallas Stars last night in Nashville 3 to 2.

January 08, 2015 ‘Party Time At Texas A&M’ Edition
John Calipari says they’re throwing a party at Texas A&M after seeing Kentucky’s game against Ole Miss. We can only imagine they’re having cupcakes!
Big Blue fans everywhere still aren’t quite certain what happened Tuesday night as the Cats squeak by unranked Ole Miss 89 to 86.
The next question for UK fans is whether that game was a fluke, or whether we can expect MORE of those heart wrenching games this season.
Coach Cal says every team is now looking at UK differently.
CalThursday
Andrew Harrison said his team needed a wake up call.
AndrewClip
And the old man of the team, Willie Cauley Stein, says one of the plans going into the game was to try and keep Ole Miss off the free throw line.
WillieClip
Cats are at Texas A&M this Saturday. You’ll hear it on WKDZ FM.
Other college games of interest tonight, Western Kentucky hosts Charlotte, Murray State is at Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay travels to Jacksonville State.
Tomorrow could be a huge day in Kentucky football history. Damien Harris, running back of Madison Southern will announce his college choice. It’s down to Ohio State, Alabama and Kentucky, but most pundits think it really comes down to Bama and UK.
Harris is probably the most heralded high school player from the state of Kentucky since Tim Couch. He’s a first team All American and the combination of coach Vince Marrow turning down Michigan’s job offer AND a commitment from Harris could make this a banner week for the Cats.
We’ll know tomorrow during the noon hour.
Predators are at home tonight. The North Stars are in town.

January 07, 2015 ‘The Ghost Of Marshall Henderson’ Edition
Marshall Henderson had nothing to do with this game. We just wanted an excuse to use his picture one more time!
It was the nightmare game Kentucky fans had dreaded, but in the end it all worked out. Cats struggle with a bad Ole Miss team last night, finally pulling away 89 to 86 in overtime. This is a UK team that had been averaging their wins by 28 points.
Kentucky opens up a 12 nothing lead, but allowed Ole Miss to go on a 31 to 12 run and Kentucky trails at the half 38 to 36.
At the end of regulation the game was tied 77 – 77 and Cats go on to win in OT.
Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy on what they WANTED to do… and what this game ultimately means for Ole Miss.
AndyKennedyClip
Big games for Ole Miss for Jarvis Summers with 23 points, and Stefan Moody with 25.
Calipari summed the game up.
CalClipOne
For the Cats, Aaron Harrison with 26 points including 5 of 9 from the 3 point line, Devin Booker with 13 and Andrew Harrison with 12. Willie Cauley Stein had 12 rebounds.
John Calipari also announced that Alex Poythress ACL surgery went well.
We’ll have more tomorrow on UK-Ole Miss.
And last night in hockey, Predators score 3 in the third and beat Carolina 3-2. Preds now 26-9 and 4.

January 06, 2015 ‘Damn The Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead, It’s Back To Ballin’ Edition
John Calipari in another life was Admiral Farragut! (Photo by Matthew Brady! Pretty cool, huh?)
UK is still the unanimous number one pick in the Associated Press poll this week, getting all 64 first place votes, while one so called ‘expert’ in the USA Today Coaches Poll STILL is giving his first place vote to Duke.
Enough about that. Cats are back in action tonight as they start league play. Ole Miss comes to town this evening. UK is a 23 point favorite.
In his pre-game press conference, Cal said the team had concentrated on the infamous ‘tweak 2’, defensive rebounding and getting players to concentrate on their on court actions. Like Dakari Johnson.
CalClipOne
And in a variation of an old saying, Cal said winning and losing isn’t nearly as important as how you play the game.
CalClipTwo
Cal also announced that Clarksville’s Alex Poythress would have his ACL surgery today.
Yesterday we told you Vince Marrow was staying at UK as tight ends coach. According to UK, he received a contract extension through 2018. Financial terms aren’t available, but it is speculated he got a raise in the neighborhood of two hundred thousand dollars a year.
Predators at home tonight. Hurricanes in town.

January 05, 2015 ‘Do The Dance Because Vince Marrow Ain’t Leavin!’ Edition
‘Vince Marrow is staying! Vince Marrow is staying!’

Breaking news last night that not that long ago would have been impossible to believe. Vince Marrow, tight ends coach for UK football is turning down Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan and staying with Mark Stoops at the University of Kentucky.
He’ll get a major raise and we’ll have the complete details tomorrow!
Do you realize we’ve gone TEN DAYS WITHOUT basketball?
Of COURSE you do, and like every other Wildcat fan, you’re ready for some more. Things get back to normal tomorrow evening, as UK starts league play with Ole Miss coming to Rupp Arena. UK has spent the last ten days in ‘Camp Cal’, John Calipari’s yearly session over the holidays where they work on new plays, new defenses and generally just work their tails off.
About halfway through the camp, Cal announced he’d made a change with the guard play, much like the famous “tweak” of last year.
So now it’s time for Cal to explain exactly WHAT he did with the guards during Camp Cal.
CalClipOne
OK, so maybe not. Umm… first one to recognize it gets a cookie.
A lot of what happens during Camp Cal is individual player development. Cal said THIS year he approached this totally different from the past, but he says the entire team will benefit from individual development.
CalClipTwo
The long wait is almost over folks! Wildcats against Ole Miss. Broadcast time is tomorrow at 4:30 on WKDZ FM.
Western Kentucky smacked down Marshall 81 to 62 yesteray afternoon. Charlotte comes to Bowling Green on Thursday.
And The Austin Peay Governors lost to Ole Miss in Oxford on Saturday, 92 to 63. Governors are at Jacksonville State this Thursday night.
Over the weekend, Murray State beat Morehead 66 to 57. Racers are back on the court this Thursday at Tennessee Tech.
Predators beat the Kings on Saturday night, 7 to 6. And in last night’s action the Ducks beat the Preds 4 – 3. Nashville HAS risen back to the top of the Central division however, just ahead of the Blackhawks.

January 02, 2015 ‘Kentucky Should Have A Holiday Called Willie-Day’ Edition
Willie Cauley-Stein, shown here during his “blondes have more fun” stage, could be playing himself into lottery pick status.
The calm before the storm is about to abide. No real regional sports to talk about over New Year’s Day.
But we’re close to college basketball conference play with the OVC and SEC about to get in the thick of things.
In the SEC Kentucky gets underway on Tuesday with Ole Miss at Rupp. That game, and ALL UK games will be heard on WKDZ FM.
More and more talk about the Cats going undefeated, at least in conference regular season and tournament play.
And fans of the Cats look back at just how this magical team came together. Yes, Kentucky had THE number one recruiting class in the country coming in, but the day that Willie Cauley Stein announced he was coming back, and the day the Harrison Twins announced they TOO were coming back, should end up being holidays in Kentucky.
Willie Cauley Stein has developed into one of the top players in the country, and some argue he IS the top player. The Harrisons added solid players in an already strong spot and set up what possibly could end up being one of the most powerful teams EVER in college play.
With WCS rising in draft potential, the Harrisons have seen THEIR NBA stock plummet, particularly after the Louisville game, and some mock drafts don’t even have them being drafted. Could that set up a THIRD season for them at Kentucky?
John Calipari was asked about the Twins and why they’re playing poorly as of late.
CalipariFriday
As for the twins, they have PLENTY of time to play themselves back into NBA draft contention.
This weekend, Austin Peay is at Ole Miss tomorrow afternoon, Murray State is at Morehead tomorrow night, and Western Kentucky hosts Marshall on Sunday afternoon.
Now, back to the Titans and our final day of recapping their 2 and 14 season. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says he is certain that things WILL get better.
WhisenhuntFriday
More on the Titans as things develop in the off season and we count down the time to the NFL draft.

January 01, 2015 ‘First Day Of The New Year And We’re Talking Sports’ Edition
We know you had a rough night, but there’s SPORTS to be discussed! Sober up!
Happy New Year everyone!
One game on tap for area basketball teams yesterday. Austin Peay beat North Florida in Clarksville, 65 to 60. Governors on the road at Ole Miss this Saturday.
Murray State is on the road at Morehead this Saturday and Western Kentucky will host Marshall on Sunday afternoon in Bowling Green.
All this week, we’re checking in with John Calipari as he talks about the first half of the season. He was asked if he had ANY idea this year’s team would be as good defensively as it has been.
CalClip
Cal spent his New Year’s Eve in Myrtle Beach at the Beach Ball Classic, watching Stephen Zimmerman of Bishop Gorman high school play. Bishop Gorman easily won the championship game of the tournament, and Zimmerman was named tournament MVP.
One of Kentucky’s top recruiting targets in the class of 2015 will announce his college decision Friday on national television.
Five-star shooting guard Antonio Blakeney is scheduled to reveal his choice live on ESPNU at 4:30 p.m. His finalists are UK, Louisiana State and Missouri. He is a five star scoring guard from Orlando and most predictions have him going to LSU
Blakeney is the player who was committed to Louisville for a total of 11 days last year before changing his mind.
We’re also reviewing the 2014 Titans. Coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked if there was any particular area that the Titans needed to address. Whether it was speed, size, whatever.
WhisenhuntClip
We’ll wind up our week long review of the Titans tomorrow.
