He has two sons playing BB in the Lexington area ?
Anybody know what grade and how good they are ?

Wofford Coach and former cat Dwight Perry looking to get it done.

Never forget in Tubby's last win at Kentucky in the tournament, he was accidentally penciled in the starting lineup instead of his cousin Bobby.

I'll let someone else link it (computer illiterate).
The article is about the difficulty of seeding up to 14 SEC teams.
There were certain rules in the past about matching conference teams before the Sweet 16.

Pretty wild to think each part of the bracket will have 3-4 SEC teams.

We deserve "14". I didn't realize TX has 7 quad 1 wins (7 times more than UNC).

And they hope to have him back for NCAA tourney.

Much like coaches for the post season tournaments, do our players have similar incentives?

I haven’t seen how these NIL contracts are written but pro players have these extras added in. An example could be $50k for winning the SECT, being MVP, etc.

KENTUCKY HC MARK POPE UK RADIO NETWORK Q&A:

* Really terrific team we beat today. Huge fan of Dennis Gates and his team. We knew we had our hands full. Couldn't be more proud of our guys. They just kept moving on to the next play.

* Defense has improved a lot. Our guys are smart and they care. They've made a commitment to do this for each other. We're not perfect, but we're trending the right way. Otega and Collin did a great job on Grill. It was a two-man play on him.

* Our staff had a tremendous scout on them. Team effort by those guys. Really blessed to be working with this group of coaches.

* Freshmen were brilliant tonight in this environment, against this type of team. Those guys might have executed better than anyone on the team. Played aggressive, gave us a huge lift. My three young guys are not lacking for confidence, boldness.

* This was the Andrew Carr we envisioned when we signed him. He's been unbelievable lately. Was really physical today. A lot of big rebounds today when we needed them. Their big guy is a BIG guy, and Andrew held his own.

* We had a tough time finding our rhythm early, but during the first two media timeouts we leaned into our defense while trying to figure things out offensively. I knew we were OK because we were guarding and had that safety net until we figured things out on offense. Huge progress for our team that we can survive with our defense now.

UK PLAYERS Q&A:

* Lamont Butler says his shoulder feels better, and he's ready to go out and compete.

* Team did a dinner at Jeff Ruby's and watched Remember the Titans before they left Lexington for the tournament, a little bonding moment for them.

* Butler thinks this team is hungry to compete in the tournament, to be remembered at UK. Six more games to show what they can do.

* On Coach Pope's message... Butler says it's to go out and have fun, play free.

* Andrew Carr on what he was doing this time last year and did he remember watching Kentucky play Oakland... He says they were on the wrong side of the bubble, didn't get to play, and he did watch the UK-Oakland game. Says he probably wouldn't be here unless that game went that way.

* Otega Oweh says he remembers being at home, watching these games last year and wishing he could be playing in the tournament.

* Koby Brea says that Oakland-UK game showed that you have to show up, that everyone comes to the NCAA Tourney ready to play and prove themselves.

* Brea says this season exceeded his expectations, the whole experience at UK. "But there's still a whole lot more to do." Oweh echoes those comments. "Blessed and thankful to be on this stage." Butler said it was a roller-coaster of a year, but that kind of brought us even closer together and has us ready to go win a championship.

* Carr says the team's emphasis on ball-screen coverage on the defensive end of the floor has really helped them late in the season. That commitment has helped them become a lot better defensively.

UK HC MARK POPE Q&A:

* On offering to pay for fans' gas... Not the smartest thing I've done. (smiles)

* Approaching this game the same way they've approached all their games this season, the same intensity and focus.

* On Troy's coach saying the tougher team will win this game... Pope agrees. But sometimes the definition of toughness is different to different people. For Pope's team, it's about staying focused on the task at hand, where you are in the moment.

* On UK's health... We're exactly where we want to be.

* On what advice Ansley Almonor might have for a high seed playing a low seed... He's got that good perspective.

* On Troy -- Only team we played in this league that was better than them on the offensive glass was Texas A&M. They're kinda like Mizzou in how they approach things. Really disruptive on defense. Top guard has ridiculous steals numbers. They walk the ball up the court a lot after scores, but they score something like 18% in transition, which is like what an Alabama does. Shows you how those steals and turnovers turn into points for them

* Pope... We have to be what we were for the majority of the season: a great ball-protection team and a great defensive rebounding team.

With so many basketball players wearing panty hose

Predictions?

Tonight, especially the second half was brutal. This team is one of my favorites. Love all of our players and coaches. That may be part of why tonight hurts so much.

A new season begins next week. Let’s get Butler healthy and keep everyone healthy and take it one game at a time. Go Big Blue!!!! Wildcats Forever!!!!

That is effin ridiculous...unbelievable 😲
