When this season started, I think fans had expectations that Mangok Mathiang would come right in and fill the void left by Gorgui Dieng. Yes he is tall, from another country, and is built very similar to Dieng. But there is something people were not thinking about: they are NOT the same person….
Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 After thinking about it for a few days, I finally made my votes on the poll. I checked up on the results as the week went on, just to get a feel for how everyone else was voting. That clearly didn’t influence my…
Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 Point Guard Now this wasn’t an easy choice for me. I’ve always been a ‘guard kind of gal’…if that’s a thing. This is who run’s the offense, my favorite aspect of the game. Some of my first cognitive memories following Cardinal basketball were…
Fans’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 I am gonna start this off by being honest. I went to UofL to finish my Bachelors degree from 05-06 and was around that basketball team 365 since I had so many friends on that team. I may be a little biased. I may not…

My friend Chris Tingley posed this question to me a couple of weeks ago, and it is very interesting and fun to talk about. Of all the players that Rick Pitino has coached at the University of Louisville, who would be your starting 5? Now I will say that some players did play multiple positions,…

This year’s NBA Draft is Thursday June 27! Here is a look at some of the mock drafts! Some of the sites did not have a 2nd round of picks, so that is hopefully why you don’t see Peyton Siva on all of them. I have said it before, I believe he has worked his…
Here are some updated NBA Mock Drafts. The Draft will be on Thursday June 27. Gorgui Dieng has been projected as a 1st round pick for quite a while, and now Peyton Siva is starting to see his name on some of the draft boards as well!
Here are some updated NBA Mock Drafts. One of them has Gorgui going as high as 12th! Another also has him going to the Bucks, which reminds me of watching the draft a few years ago with my cousin Conley. He is a UK fan, and was watching for Jodie Meeks, and he said “Please…
The 2013 NBA Draft will be on Thursday June 27. So yes that it almost 2 months away, and things can change in the draft order depending on how guys work out for teams, and what certain teams need. But here are some updated mock drafts since the deadline has now passed for early entries…
Jason King, an ESPN.com writer, has released a preseason Top 25 poll for the 2013-14 college basketball season.
