Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Should only get better from here. The Kentucky Wildcats debuted their new court against UNC-Wilmington on Saturday, but it wasn’t even the biggest debut of the game for the program. After recovering from a foot injury suffered over the offseason, Kentucky big man Aaron Bradshaw made his UK debut against the Seahawks and made an instant impact for the Cats. He finished the game with three points, two rebounds, and a blocked shot while finishing with a team-high +/- of 11. But none were bigger than the dunk to put him on the box score for...

Sam Upshaw Jr./Courier Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK Alabama sneaks into the final spot, and Kentucky likely helped make it happen. Many people were wondering who would make the final two spots in the College Football Playoff, with the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies basically securing a spot in the CFP. The final two spots were down to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Florida State Seminoles, and Georgia Bulldogs. As it turned out, Texas got the third spot, and Bama got the fourth and final spot. And the Tide can thank the Kentucky Wildcats for...

Jeff Blake-USA TODAY Sports What bowl game will Kentucky be placed in? The day has arrived for the four teams that will be selected by the College Football Playoff committee to compete for this year’s national championship, but also every other team in the country that’s bowl eligible — which included the Kentucky Wildcats. 2023 wasn’t the season fans (or the Wildcats themselves) hoped for. Injuries on the offensive line, inconsistency in the passing game and a defense that underperformed compared to expectations held UK back from what some had hoped to be a...

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The Wildcats at basketball’s highest level are killing it this season. There’s a reason the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program continues to get top-tier recruits, and that’s because they are able to continually prove that they can develop some of the best players in the world. The Cats have had several top-10 recruits come through Lexington, and many of them are making a name for themselves in the NBA. Players like De’Aaron Fox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and breaking out as full-blown superstars, along with well-known former...

Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue A rough game for the Cats all around, but Reed Sheppard did his best to keep them in it. The Kentucky Wildcats played their first of two games at Rupp Arena in the month of December this afternoon as they welcomed the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks to town. The new court may have looked great, but the Cats did not in the first half. For the first time all season, this group looked rough offensively, and we have to give credit to UNCW for forcing this game to be played exactly how they wanted it to be. Kentucky was led by Tre Mitchell for most of...

Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue An ugly performance from the Cats on Saturday. The Kentucky Wildcats were back in action on Saturday afternoon as they faced off against UNC Wilmington. It was a big day inside Rupp Arena as the brand-new floor was finally installed, and Aaron Bradshaw was making his long-awaited Kentucky debut. The Cats were without DJ Wagner in this one due to the injury he suffered against Miami, meaning Reed Sheppard was making his first career start. It was a slow start for the Cats as they were missing a lot of easy ones early, and that forced...

Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Great news for Kentucky Basketball. Finally, the debut of Aaron Bradshaw is here. Before the Kentucky Wildcats’ matchup with UNC Wilmington, head coach John Calipari confirmed that Bradshaw would play vs. the Seahawks during a pregame radio interview. He also said the freshman forward should be able to play 10-15 minutes. Adding to the good news, Calipari said that Ugonna Onyenso is on the verge of returning to practice. That would suggest the sophomore center should return to game action sometime in December or early January, so Kentucky...

Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue The Cats take on the Seahawks. Good morning BBN! It’s gameday as the Kentucky Wildcats head back to Rupp Arena for an afternoon matchup with the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks. Sitting at 6-1 on the young season, it has been an almost perfect start to the season for John Calipari and the Cats. With a different style of basketball being played and a roster filled with guys turning into superstars in their own right, expectations have started to shift in terms of what the end goal could be for UK this season. That is going to get even more hype...

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports The Greek Freak is backing the Cats. The Greek Freak isn’t just a fan-favorite player among most NBA fans, but he’s also one of the league’s most dominant stars. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP and an NBA Champion. He is captaining one of the best teams in the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks. If you need a reason to like Antetokounmpo, you’ll enjoy seeing him rock these exclusive Kentucky Wildcats Nike sneakers.
