Just a few notes: It was a good, fun game that saw John Calipari’s Dominican National team beat the UK Pros 106-88. It was great seeing all the former Wildcats back in town, especially players we haven’t seen awhile in Tayshaun Prince, Rajon Rondo, Keith Bogans and Nazr Mohammed. Eloy Vargas got some of the [...]

Bledsoe and Kanter

ArtiCALs – 10.16.09
It’s Big Blue Madness day! In celebration, here is an all Kentucky basketball installment of ArtiCALs. DeAndre Liggins was misunderstood. John Calipari is ready to go overboard for Big Blue Madness.
