Will Jayden Quaintance play for Kentucky again this season. Mark Pope is making no promises. Here's the latest update: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Mark Pope says that Jayden Quaintance is in "full shutdown" mode currently and isn't practicing. Pope says Quaintance is out for Saturday's game at Arkansas "unless he gets better."

Dave Pasch and Fran Fraschilla will have the TV broadcast of Kentucky at No. 15 Arkansas on Saturday night in Fayetteville. The game is set for a 6:30 p.m. (ET) start on ESPN.

Remember D.J. Wagner? He's in his third year of college basketball. That was never the plan. "Like, a lot of these kids get ‘ranked.’ And then they’re trying to live up to ‘rankings.’ And what does a ranking mean?" Story on the former No. 1 recruit: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Another piece of Kentucky basketball's future schedule is now in place. The Wildcats are locked into the CBS Sports Classic for four more seasons, and a new school has been added to the four-team event: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

In 14 high-major games this season, Kentucky has led at halftime of 2 games, been tied in 2 others and trailed in 10 games. Combined, Kentucky has been outscored by 114 points in the first half of its 14 high-major games this season.

It's been over for a while now, but we've gone final in Nashville. Kentucky's five-game winning streak ends with a road thumping at the hands of Vanderbilt. It's Vandy's largest win over UK since 2008. More from @benrobertshl.bsky.social: ⬇️

Additionally, Kentucky has now trailed by double digits, at some point, in 5 of its 8 SEC games this season.

This is Vanderbilt's largest halftime lead over UK since 2008, per ESPN.

Kentucky has led at halftime just 2 times in 14 high-major games this season. Tonight is certainly not one of those two. Vanderbilt is up 43-23 at the break in Nashville.

Starters for UK basketball and No. 18 Vanderbilt.

You might have noticed something different about Kentucky basketball over the past few games. The same players are playing at the end, the Cats are winning, and they seem to be finding a new chemistry. "This is really special what these guys are doing." Story: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Two pals opened an all-ages music venue in the basement of Frank's Donuts - named, you guessed it: The Donut Dungeon. The city shut it down recently for code violations. I talked to the owners and several under-21 youth about why an all-ages space is important. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

Injuries have limited the on-court impact that Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance have had on UK basketball this season. But, that doesn't mean they aren't still helping. Here's how Lowe and Quaintance have continued to contribute behind the scenes: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Only 19 players in Division I men's basketball have scored at least 10 points in all of their teams' games this season. Otega Oweh is one of them. And that's not a surprise to anyone at UK. “He’s probably the most consistent player I’ve ever coached.” ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Karl Ravech, Jimmy Dykes and Alyssa Lang will have the broadcast of Kentucky at No. 18 Vanderbilt on Tuesday night in Nashville. The game has a 9 p.m. (ET) start time on ESPN.

In his 2 seasons as a UK basketball player, Otega Oweh has been defined by his consistent scoring ability It’s a major reason why Mark Pope called Oweh the most consistent player he’s ever coached, and why the Wildcats are back up to speed this season: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

UK basketball is running out of healthy players, it seems like. Yet, the Wildcats just keep on winning. Kentucky made it 5 straight today with a home win over Ole Miss: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Travis Perry returned to Rupp Arena on Saturday afternoon. It didn't go well for him. Here's how Kentucky's defensive gameplan spoiled Perry's return to the commonwealth with Ole Miss: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Additionally, Pope confirmed that Kam Williams underwent surgery on Friday for his broken foot. Still no timetable on Williams' recovery timeline.

With Kam Williams now out with a broken foot, Trent Noah is back in the UK basketball rotation. Noah's teammates say he's ready for the challenge. "He’s been asking for this all year, so the moment’s right here for him." ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

From last night: Collin Chandler was sick for days before turning in what was arguably his best game yet as a Kentucky Wildcat. "Man, he put together a really incredible performance." Inside the UK sophomore's big night in an 85-80 win over Texas: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

For the first time under Mark Pope's leadership, UK basketball made 30 free throws in a game. Each of those points were integral to a home win over Texas, and the Wildcats' free-throw success could also represent a necessary shift in offensive approach: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

“We know that Kam is going to get right. He’s a soldier." A shorthanded Kentucky basketball team lost another key contributor Wednesday night as Kam Williams will now miss significant time with a broken foot: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Mark Pope went off script to end his postgame press conference Wednesday night. Without naming names, Pope called on the NCAA to use the NCAA Tournament as a deterrent when it comes to the recent rash of college eligibility cases. From @benrobertshl.bsky.social: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Mark Pope announces that Kam Williams has broken his foot. He will be out a while for Kentucky basketball: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

"We will foul the living shit out of you" - Texas head coach Sean Miller. Kentucky went 30 for 35 tonight from the foul line in its home win over the Longhorns. Miller is clear that he has no problem with the refs, but rather his team's inability to play defense without fouling.

Kentucky basketball turns it on in the second half, defeats Texas at Rupp Arena for UK's fourth-straight win: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Kentucky 85. Texas 80. Final from Rupp Arena. Kentucky basketball didn't make a shot from the field for the final 5:48 tonight, and the Cats won anyway. UK secures its fourth straight win over a power conference opponent for the first time under Mark Pope.

Kentucky basketball has opened up a sizable lead over Texas, but there's plenty of off-court concern about the health of Kam Williams. Here's what we know about Williams, who has left tonight's game for good with a foot injury: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Kam Williams has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a foot injury.

Kam Williams has left the UK bench area after coming up gingerly on his left leg while jogging back in transition on defense. It happened at the 18:38 mark of the second half and appeared to be a non-contact incident. Williams went straight back to the UK locker room after the incident.
