'Not a very pretty game at all'
It
has been three weeks since UK fell to Gardner-Webb in
Rupp Arena, but the opening moments of last night's game

basketball and found themselves in an early deficit.
-
Trouble with zone 'D' could haunt UK this season
Here's an open letter to the coaches that are going to

version that you've taught for years.

Some advice for Saturday, leave the children at home.
North Carolina comes to town. The big bad Tar Heels. You
