Who stays, who Goes?

I have a list of players that will most likely be gone, and who will stay. I'm sure that a lot of UK fans would probably agree with this too.


Who Goes?


John Wall. Predicted to be the #1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft, who wouldn't go?

DeMarcus Cousins. The kid is a beast and will be in the top five.

Eric Bledsoe. He'll get an offer for sure...both tournaments (SEC and NCAA) really helped him out.

Patrick Patterson. He's supposed to graduate in three years, this being his third, and the way he's played at Kentucky, he'll get an offer and take it.

Daniel Orton. He's been in the mix lately now, the last few games of the year he came out strong. This is a 50-50 choice. It could probably go any way, him staying or going.


Who stays?


Darnell Dodson. He's not consistent enough, and he needs to work on that to the point where he is.

Darius Miller. Same case as Dodson.

DeAndre Liggins. He's a talented player, but not enough to go pro.

Josh Harrellson. A good bench player, but just simply not talented enough to play with the NBA boys.

Jon Hood. He's also a good bench player, but he needs to improve his play and battle for more minutes and prove he's ready to go pro.

So what are we looking at? A five-team roster, excluding the new recruits that we already have, and could have.

Kentucky's Season Comes to a Close With 73-66 Loss

West Virginia says no more, as they put up the red light to Kentucky to end their season with a record of 35-3. UK pulled it within 4 with 25 seconds to go, after trailing on a average of 10 points the whole half...but West V gets it done with their free throws. Bob Huggins gets only his 2nd Final Four...his last one coming from 1992 at Cincinnati. Everyone believes that John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson and even Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton are gone in the 2010 NBA draft. Good run for Kentucky this year, lets hope we can do it again next year.

Kentucky Wins Round 2 Matchup vs Alabama

The Kentucky Wildcats rolled into Nashville, Tennessee at the Bridgestone Arena to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2nd Round of the SEC Tournament after earning a 1st rounf bye for their stellar conference play and getting their 44th SEC Title in school history. UK picked up a hard fought 73-67 victory over Alabama, a game in which UK trailed most of the time. The Cats were lead by solid play by Eric Bledsoe with 10 points. Patrick Patterson and John Wall were huge for the Cats both scoring over 20 points in today's win. The Cats will play the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC Tournament Semi-Finals tomorrow at 1 PM ET on ABC.

29-2 Anyone?

Yes sir...UK beats Billy Donavon's Florida Gators today by a score of 74-66. Can't go into detail...but UK had a big lead early, as much as 18. But the Gators cut it to within 3 in the 2nd, but UK slowly pulled it out, winning by 8.

Kentucky Beats Georigia For 44th SEC Title

The Kentucky Wildcats traveled to Athens, Georgia to take on on the Georgia Bulldogs. The Cats came away with an 80-6 victory to be the first SEC East opponent to defeat the Georgia Bulldogs on their home court this season. UK came out much improved on their three-point shooting. Dodson and Wall both had 3 three-pointers. Darnell Dodson was huge off the bench tonight with 11 points and John Wall had 24 points with many highlight reel plays. Patterson recorded another double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. UK spoils Senior Night for the Bulldogs as the Bulldogs did for UK's Senior Night at Rupp Arena last season. Kentucky will play next on Sunday hosting the Florida Gators on Senior Night as UK will say good bye as Mark Krebs, Perry Stevenson, Ramon Harris, and Patrick Patterson will all be graduating.
