The Greatest College Basketball Programs in History
1. University of Kentucky Wildcats – This is a no brainer in my opinion. If talking about the HISTORY of college basketball, you have to look at the entire existence of the sport. Not the last 25 years. Not the most dominating 10 year stretch in the sport. The ENTIRE history. When doing so, it is…

More Than A Game
Kentucky vs. Louisville in the Final Four. It was more than a game today. It was a state divided. It was friends becoming enemies. It was a fight to the finish. It was all it was hyped to be and then some. In the end, my beloved Kentucky Wildcats SURVIVED to advance to the national…

Kentucky vs. Louisville…My rambling thoughts
Every year since 1994, that it was possible, I had Louisville vs. Kentucky in my brackets. Every year except this one. So state of Kentucky…YOU’RE WELCOME! My father rooted for the Cardinals.

The South Bracket
Of course, I’m going to pick my University of Kentucky Wildcats to win the whole damn thing so I have them coming out of this region and advancing to the Final Four. However, the NCAA selection committee did them no favors by giving them a very tough road to New Orleans. UConn has been a…

It’s Conference Tourney time
I love March Madness. As an alum of the University of Kentucky, college basketball is one of my favorite sports. Nothing can match the excitement of March Madness. What other sport delivers Butler going to back to back national title games? George Mason and VCU making Final Fours? You don’t get that kind of excitement…
