Kentucky basketball

The Tigers were firing on all cylinders from the get-go and used the Cats' calling card—run and gun—to beat them at their own game. It was over before it even ...

The Cats should be able to get back on track against the Cardinals on Saturday, but outside of that game, I’m not sure there’s a guaranteed win left on the schedule. Calipari was a breath of fresh air, but we all know things haven't been the same since 2015, and now, Kentucky has a shell of its former self. And the same can be said of CJ Fredrick’s basketball career as the kid just can’t seem to stay healthy. This is something you hate to see for anyone, but especially Fredrick with the luck he’s had thus far. Once the Cats went to a lineup consisting of Sahvir Wheeler, Cason Wallace, Adou Thiero, Lance Ware, and Oscar Tshiebwe, things seemed to be turning around as Kentucky cut the lead to as little as nine. I never thought I'd see the day where John Calipari became absolutely loathed across the Bluegrass, but I think we’re at that point. That didn't deter the head man from putting Chris Livingston, Jacob Toppin/Lance Ware, and Oscar Tshiebwe on the court at the same time. The Cats had no answer as they weren't able to push the tempo effectively, score in the halfcourt, or stop Missouri from doing whatever they wanted. Kentucky couldn't make shots and Mizzou couldn't miss as the home team went into the half with a 42-30 lead. The Tigers were firing on all cylinders from the get-go and used the Cats’ calling card—run and gun—to beat them at their own game. Kentucky came out flat, again, and Missouri extended their lead to as many as 21 points—Kentucky’s largest deficit of the season. They turned the ball over and failed to knock down easy, wide open looks.

Coming into the game a three-point favorite, UK looked to win its first game of conference play and add a notch to notable wins this season.

It was the fourth time this season that Tshiebwe had at least 15 points and 15 rebounds in a game for Kentucky. The Cats are 1-3 in those games, winless if you ...

“We’ve got to know when we got to take a good shot, we’ve got to know when we’ve got to slow it down. We’ve got to get better.” We’ve got to get better. We’ve got special talents, we’ve just got to come together as a team,” Tshiebwe said. “I liked the fact that they were going to spread the court on us, because I thought we could get run downhill and get threes. “The issue becomes if they don’t play a couple of the guys on the floor. There were opportunities to throw it in and do that.” “We’ve got to figure this out. So if you go like this and then try to pass it to him. The Cats are 1-3 in those games, winless if you take out a home matchup with North Florida. You could say well, let’s just come down and have everybody out on the floor. He now has 34 double-doubles in 44 career games at UK.

It's been a decade since Kentucky men's basketball won the 2012 national championship. Where are those players and coaches now?

By December, Robic was no longer with Kentucky basketball. Known as Calipari's long-time right-hand man, John Robic moved to an administrative role with the program in August 2021. Although he was a head coach at South Florida and an assistant coach at Illinois from 2014 until his return to Lexington in 2021. He later became the assistant director of player development at Kentucky State University, He became a financial planner and now sells engagement and wedding rings in Lexington, He now works as a recruiter for Amazon, Eloy Vargas went undrafted after the 2012 season but has spent every season since playing on an international or G League team. He also made appearances in the NBA's D and G leagues. Darius Miller was selected in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft as the 46th pick by the New Orleans Hornets (now the Pelicans). Teague was the 29th pick of the 2012 draft and spent two seasons in the league, bounced around the G League and overseas and then made a three-game appearance with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2017-2018 season. Although there were no official retirement headlines, Kidd-Gilchrist gets cheers from a different crowd now, advocating for those who stutter. No.

Wednesday was just the third time Kentucky lost its SEC opener in John Calipari's 14-year tenure. Here's a look at what needs to change.

We've got to get better, we've got to get better." We've got to know when we've got to take a good shot. But we've got to step up to the plate." "We've got to be stronger," Tshiebwe said. "I still like the group. Calipari knew his team was in for one of its toughest battles of the season, owing to the Tigers' experience. … I've got to do better." Who's going to battle?' And that's who I put in." But it was evident the Tigers (12-1) always were the aggressor — and that's meant as a compliment. I knew (Missouri) would play better, because they just beat Illinois and they're making shots and they're being aggressive." "I knew this would be a hard game, but I thought we would play better. Me myself, I've got to step up.

Kentucky basketball has consistently been among the nation's strongest programs on the court over recent history, but that hasn't quite been the case in the ...
