Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
UK's non conference schedule was released yesterday for the 2011-12 season. A good non conference sked with a decent number of cupcakes. I won't identify the cupcakes at risk of ofending fans of other teams on this site. :)
Mark down December 3rd as must see TV. UK host UNC that day in what could be an early season battle of number 1 against number 2. UK also plays Kansas,St.Johns and their annual battles with Indiana and Louisville. The UL game is a New Years Eve game.

While it may look good on paper, this is probably as weak as Cal's first season here, the UNC game notwithstanding.
Kansas is going to be down this year. St Johns is bringing in a top recruiting class into Rupp (second to the Cats of course) but will likely be overmatched. Indiana is in a do or die situation IMO this season and could fall either way (IU gives us a good game in Bloomington or completely falls apart). Cal has owned Louisville twice and I really think the game has passed Pitino by. I don't see them being a two seed like what Lunardi is suggesting.
The rest are basically cupcakes.

Read about Jon Hood tearing his ACL in a pick up game of basketball yesterday. Hate that for him.

We made the cut for 2012 recruit Brandon Ashley in his final 7 schools. 2012 recruit Alex Poythress is cutting his list to 5 at the end of the July recruiting period.
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Kentucky vs. Ohio State on CBS SN at 4:00 PM
One game I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching. :D

Bigger fish to fry my friend.
Give me Shabazz Muhammad.
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
I think we end up with Muhammad, Pollard, Goodwin, Robert Carter, and Dejuan Coleman
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Sad story about Desmond Allison.
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Yes, very sad. The first--and only--casualty of the "Zero Tolerance" Policy following the DUI crash and death of I believe UK and EKU football players...
One can't help but wonder if Allison's life could have taken a different turn if the University had practiced a more pastoral approach considering it was his first incident. The policy was scrapped after a very short time period.
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
He could really play, too.

The people killed in that crash were UK football player Arnie Steinmetz and a student at EKU who was supposedly a good friend of Tim Couch.
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Tracy McGrady has had good things to say about him on his Twitter page. He seemed to really respect Desmond's game.
The UK alums vs Dominican national team is gonna be great.
Players that will be playing:
Wall
Rondo
Bledsoe
Meeks
Prince
Cousins
Mohammed
Bogans
Dominican Republic has

Villaneuva
And one other NBA player.
I hope it's on TV, would love to see Wall/Rondo in the same backcourt
Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
NCAA rules against fun, saying no TV or radio.
Uh....what? How is a team with no UK association under the jurisdiction of the NCAA? Isn't this like saying an NBA preseason game can't be on TV?
