The Big Blue Lowdown

Now that the Cats have completed a 16-0 SEC season and won their 30^th game, it’s not too early to think a little about this team’s place from a historical context. In other words, how does the 2011-2012 Kentucky team stack up against the greatest teams of all time?

Ok, fine, I take that back. It's actually way too early to have this conversation. They still have a long road to pave if they want to be champions, and we cannot count on anything yet as a certainty. In fact, I could still see...

Kentucky passed a huge road test Saturday, felling a game Vanderbilt squad which caught fire in the second half and pushed UK to the final buzzer.

Ultimately, this win was about too much Anthony Davis and a defensive effort that is, on a game-by-game basis, becoming legendary.

College hoops gambling has become a national pastime. In the sportsbooks in Vegas during March Madness, you can feel the energy of the gambling masses with every shot. Eyes flit from one TV screen to another, as the point spread keeps even the biggest mismatches from becoming insignificant.

Today, you don’t even need to travel to Sin City to bet on college hoops. Online sportsbooks have made it easy. But if you’re going to put some cash on the line, you need to know a thing or two about...
