A decision is coming for Donnie Freeman — and it doesn’t sound like things are going in Kentucky’s direction with St. John’s moving toward a comeback victory for the Syracuse transfer. Considering how things unfolded with Colorado’s Sebastian Rancik and his move to Florida State, the options are limited for Mark Pope and company at the position, assuming they can’t figure things out with Freeman. What’s next for the Wildcats? And ...

It’s the craziest time of the year as Mark Pope looks to rebuild the Kentucky roster going into his third season in Lexington, the portal officially opening this week with the list of available names approaching 2,000. Who will be the additions capable of bringing the Wildcats back to title contention? UK is casting a wide net early with new options being added and taken off the list seemingly by the minute. That’s why Sources Say...

The most crucial offseason of Mark Pope’s career has officially begun, Kentucky not only adding a point guard, but the point guard’s dad — former All-Star Mo Williams joining as an assistant and bringing his four-star son with him. Those are the biggest dominoes up to this point, along with Jaland Lowe’s decision to enter the transfer portal and two staff departures in Jason Hart and Alvin Brooks III. What do we think of the earl...

What in the WORLD happened in College Station? How do you build a 12-point lead and watch it not only disappear, but flip to a 21-point deficit in a matter of minutes? Where do you turn when you have a double-bye within reach and then give it away to force a potential Wednesday start in the SEC Tournament? Also, is Dink Pate the answer to all of Kentucky‘s problems in year three under Mark Pope? It’s a crazy week for the Wildcats...

Is Jayden Quaintance going to return for Kentucky this postseason? It’s now on the table, KSR has learned — and Sources Say is ready to talk about it. We share the latest on the future lottery pick’s status going into the final week of the regular season and how we got to the point where he’s a strength test away from potentially being cleared to practice (and eventually play). What kind of impact can he make? Are there any concer...

It wasn’t pretty, but the Cats got it done in Columbia, leaving Colonial Life Arena with a victory over South Carolina to end the three-game losing streak. More importantly, it likely locked up a spot in the NCAA Tournament for Kentucky, putting bad-loss potential in the rearview mirror and focusing solely on good wins the rest of the way — but that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be easy, starting with a rematch vs. Vanderbilt on Saturday...

What a week it’s been for Kentucky basketball! It started with a big-time road win at Arkansas, followed by a statement response at home vs. Oklahoma — a desperate team whose coach’s seat is red-hot. Now, the Wildcats have won seven of eight ahead of another MASSIVE opportunity against Tennessee with the Volunteers looking for revenge. Unfortunately for them, it’s the debut of the denim throwbacks and the 1996 national championshi...

After an 0-2 start in the SEC, Kentucky has responded with five straight victories — the latest being back-to-back must-have wins at Rupp Arena vs. Texas and Ole Miss. Can the Wildcats keep it rolling with back-to-back road trips to Nashville and Fayetteville this week against two ranked opponents? It’d be massive for the resume, but it’ll be much easier said than done, especially with Jaland Lowe out for the year, Jayden Quaintan...

The Cardiac Cats did it again! Down by 17-plus in back-to-back true road games, Kentucky stormed back to first beat LSU in Baton Rouge, then Tennessee in Knoxville for Mark Pope’s first three-game winning streak in the SEC regular season as head coach. Crazy, right? Against the Tigers, it was all about Malachi Moreno’s buzzer-beater — one we’ll all be talking about for years to come, fighting back from down 18 to pull off a miracl...

Kentucky‘s backcourt now has a Jaland Lowe-sized hole for the rest of the year as PG1 will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder. What’s next for the Wildcats, particularly in his absence?

Missouri was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Kentucky, a nightmarish season for Mark Pope and the Wildcats that doesn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon. How do you give up a 15-2 run to end the game and choke away an eight-point lead in the final segment to earn a Quad 3 loss? Unfortunately, that’s what we have to talk about tonight on Sources Say.

Things did NOT go well for the Kentucky Wildcats in Tuscaloosa, getting blown out once again at Alabama in a game that was never really close — even at full strength with Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance out there.

What’s the deal with the weirdness from Mark Pope (plus the opposite from Nate Oats, who wasn’t shy about the subtle jabs after the fact)? Don...

Sources Say has some crow to eat, and they’re bringing in a heavy-hitter to prepare some of it in the form of Michael Moreno — former Eastern Kentucky basketball star and brother of current Wildcat, Malachi Moreno.

There is still work to do, obviously, but just how ...
