The University of Kentucky men's basketball team improved to 6-2 in Southeastern Conference play and 12-9 overall with their 62-52 victory over Alabama on Saturday. One of the local television channels actually carried the game up here so I was able to watch the Wildcats live, for a change.
I don't know if anybody else read the Associated Press' recap of the game, but the AP article made it almost sound like the only reason UK won was because of the fact that Alabama's Richard Hendrix missed the game because of the flu. The article failed to mention the fact that UK's Jodie Meeks missed the game as well. I don't know who wrote the article for the AP, but it sure looked like it was written by an Alabama grad.
Kentucky won the game and I guess that's all that matters. Ramel Bradley turned in another good performance with 19 points on 4-8 shooting from the field. Patterson had a bit of an off night in my opinion, but still finished with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Perry Stevenson continued to impress me scoring 8 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in 33 minutes of play. If you ask me, Perry's continued improvement on both ends of the floor has been a big reason why the Wildcats have now won 5 games in a row.
Kentucky's next game is tomorrow night at Vanderbilt. The game is scheduled for a 9:00 PM start. The game is scheduled to be aired on ESPN.

Did you see this??
According to WDSU in New Orleans, Travis Ford is considered one of the three leading candidates for the now vacant head coaching position at LSU. I'm happy for Travis that he has been so successful at Umass, but I'm not sure how I would handle him being the coach at LSU. Its been hard enough for me watching John Pelphrey roam the Arkansas sidelines. Pelphrey has the Razorbacks looking pretty good this season with a 6-2 record in SEC play and an overall record of 17-5.

It would be great if we could provide openings for all these great past players/now coaches. It's just the bitter pill we'll have to take seeing them all go to out old rivals and arch enemies.
As for the AP, whats new about seeing the press give Kentucky and the SEC in general the short end of the stick.
