Are Kentucky’s chances with Tyran Stokes dead now that Bill Self is coming back to Kansas? CBS Sports...


Pump It Up: How Kentucky fixes what went wrong against Ole Miss and LSU
#1238
Last Wednesday at 11:53 PM

The Kentucky baseball program was hit with some more adversity over the weekend. Despite taking Friday’s day, the Bat Cats dropped another winnable SEC road series. A shutout loss and a bullpen meltdown with the lead in Game 3 again costed UK a series win. How can Nick Mingione‘s squad fix the problems that have plagued them in consecutive weekend? Let’s talk about it. A new episode of “Pump It Up” has arrived. Derek Terry and myself are jumping into the KSR’s virtual podcast studio to discuss some of the flaws that have popped up the last two weeks an...

Mark Pope Makes Major Changes; Tyran Stokes Update; Mo Williams to Kentucky! | Sources Say
#1236
Last Tuesday at 6:53 PM

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 early moves of Pope and what do we expect to come next? Sources Say goes LIVE for an early afternoon edition of the show. Tu...

The Brother Behind Malachi Moreno’s Rise at Kentucky | Interview With the Morenos
#1230
03/18/2026

Malachi Moreno grew up just 20 minutes from the University of Kentucky, dreaming of one day wearing Kentucky blue. But behind his rise from Georgetown to Lexington is a story that started long before he ever stepped onto the court at Rupp Arena. This is the story of Malachi and his older brother, Michael — the person who helped shape his game, pushed him to compete, and sacrificed parts of his own basketball journey to help Malachi chase his dream. From driveway battles and late-night drives around Georgetown to Malachi becoming Kentucky’s starting freshman center, their story is about family, sacrifice, and...

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 and it’s only going to get crazier with this weekend setting up a massive postseason for th...

Kentucky’s a Lock for Tourney; What Must Change to Be Title Favorites Again? | Sources Say
#935
02/26/2026

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. How did Mark Pope’s group get it done against the Gamecocks? Any leftover gripes from the trip to the Plains (and the weird...

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.
