    College Football – Undefeated Status Quo Remains

    There were plenty of big games and close calls, but the same undefeated teams remain: Alabama in the SEC, Oregon in the Pac-12, Louisville in the Big East, Kansas State in the Big 12, Ohio State (who can’t reach a bowl game or win the conference) in the Big Ten and Notre Dame.

  • Anthony Davis & Kentucky One Win Away From Glory

    Anthony Davis had to be great all night long, while the future NBA players around him had trouble dominating for long stretches. The Freshman led Kentucky to a 69-61 win over Louisville in the opening game of the Final Four, making it to the national finals for the first time since 1998, which was the last time the title went to the Big Blue nation.

  • Kentucky vs Losuiville – A Final Four Turning a State Crazy

    Old men fighting during their dialysis treatment after getting into an argument about Louisville and Kentucky. Resteraunts and bars, usually neutral, choosing sides and inviting only blue or red fans for the game so fights don’t breakout. They will elsewhere I guess. Nothing like alcohol and good old-fashioned inner-state rivalry to get things going on. […]

  • Kentucky – Louisville Such a Final Four Attraction Because of Calipari – Pitino Rivalry

    Rick Pitino will make his sixth trip to the Final Four this weekend, his second with Louisville. For John Calipari, it’ll be his third visit to the national Semi Final, his second consecutive time with Kentucky. Like in that 1996 Semi Final between them, when Calipari was coaching UMass and Pitino was the Kentucky Head coach, all the focus is on them.

  • The Kentucky Derby – The 2012 Final Four Version

    Kentucky will be the only #1 seed in the 2012 Final Four, which is an improvment for big teams after last year, in which no #1 or #2 seeds made it in to the last weekend for the first time in tournament history. Unlike 2011, a year with no clear favorites, Kentucky stand as the obvious choice to win at all, with Kansas, Ohio State and Louisville waiting in line.

  • Russ Smith Carries Louisville Into Final Four

    Russ Smith has been having an up and down Sophomore season, but it seems everything is coming through for him in the 2012 NCAA tournament, coming up with his best game since January, scoring 19 points off the bench to lead Louisville into the Final Four with a 72-68 win over Florida.

  • Louisville Burst the Michigan State Bubble

    The Louisville Cardinals weren’t supposed to make it this far, ranked 17th in the nation and getting the #4 seed in the West Region. But Michigan State were overrated to begin with, partially because everybody loves Tom Izzo. Rick Pitino? Great coach, but not as loved, in an understatement kind of tone. Now the Cardinals are in the Elite eight, and the Spartans are the first #1 team to fall in the 2012 NCAA tournament.
