Kentucky stops the bleeding, but Tennessee is in control at halftime

Not much could have gone worse for Kentucky, Tennessee in total control for essentially the entire half before taking a mini 8-4 run into the break — down just 15 rather than the 19 the Volunteers led by with 3:04 to go. Take the little wins where you can get them, right?

The Wildcats were totally out of sorts the majority of the way, though, shooting just 38.5 percent from the field compared to 50.0 percent for the Vols with the latter taking six more attempts while also winning the rebounding battle 22-13. Maybe the biggest difference? 13 second-chance points on nine offensive rebounds for UT with 14 bench points compared to just three for UK.

Amari Williams has been Kentucky’s only consistent offense, scoring nine points on 4-5 shooting, followed by Otega Oweh with seven, Lamont Butler with five, Koby Brea and Collin Chandler with three apiece and Andrew Carr with one. For Tennessee, it’s the Zakai Zeigler show, leading the way with 13 points and four assists, followed by Jordan Gainey with seven, Chaz Lanier and Felix Okpara with six apiece and Darlinstone Dubar with five.

The Cats are going to have to get some shots to fall and will have to start pulling down some boards or they will be going home in 20 minutes of game time.

As things stand now, it looks like a five-game losing streak in Indianapolis is very much on the table for this program. That doesn’t feel very good — especially against this team.

There are two halves for a reason, though. Can they pull off an all-time comeback?

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.

After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.

When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.

With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
