Cats Win BIG at Rupp Against #1 Tennessee

The #1 Tennessee Volunteers came into Rupp hailed as the best team in all the land and came out with a 17 point loss and a welp on their ass to THE Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky thoroughly dominated Tennessee from the tip and was the most physical team on the floor.

Kentucky led at one point by 24 points and each player gave positive contributions. PJ Washington outplayed Grant Williams and helped his case for SEC Player of the Year with an extremely efficient 23 pts, 5 reb,75% FG 50% 3P performance. Ashton Hagans broke through the freshman wall with a 7-1 assist:turnover ratio and bouncing back on the defensive end. Tyer Herro finished 3-11 from the field but recorded a sneaky double-double with 15 pts and 13 reb.

This team is coming into its own at the right time, right before March. This team is going to be fun!

Vince Marrow Promoted to Associate Head Coach

Vince Marrow has been absolutely critical to the recent success of the Kentucky Football team in his role as tight end coach and recruiting coordinator.

Back on New Years Day, Marrow was reported to have signed a three-year extension. It has been reported that as a part of this extension, Marrow will be promoted to Associate Head Coach with a $650,000 base salary, while still retaining his current roles.

UK Target Keion Brooks Jr. Cancels Michigan St. Visit

2019 Kentucky target Keion Brooks Jr. was in Rupp for the Tennessee game and was able to experience one of the best Rupp Arena atmospheres in the Calipari era. On Sunday, Brooks canceled his last remaining visit to Michigan State and is anticipated to make a decision this week. This appears to be great news for Kentucky and their chances to land the 6-7 wing from Indiana.

For the majority of his recruitment, most recruiting experts believe that its either his home school of Indiana or Kentucky. With the dumpster fire that Indiana has been this season, and the Rupp atmosphere he got to experience. I don’t see how he could turn down Kentucky, but more shocking things have happened.

Kentucky Boys Dominate the PGA

J.B. Holmes and Justin Thomas, both Kentucky natives battled it out for first and second in the Genesis Open, with Holmes coming out on top. Holmes came into Sunday with a 4-hole deficit. However, the golfers had to compete in a 34-hole day due to weather issues on Thursday.

It came down the last three holes as Justin Thomas missed a putt to force a playoff, allowing Holmes to win his first major in three years when he had brain surgery.

UK Hoops Win on a Last-Second Shot

In the postgame interview, Howard admitted the last shot was supposed to be for Maci Morris. But when Arkansas’ defense was all over Morris, Howard was able to create an open look for herself. The game started end ended with a Rhyne Howard jumper, as UK Hoops won 61-59.

The #17 Kentucky Women’s basketball team have outperformed their expectations all year. Predicted to finish 7th in the SEC, the Wildcats are tied for 3rd in the SEC. Rhyne Howard was the savior on Sunday afternoon. At the end of a back-and-forth game with Arkansas, tied 59-59, Rhyne Howard pulled up from free throw line to make the game-winning basket.

ITS BEEN A GREAT WEEKEND TO BE A CATS FAN!
