Tuesday Headlines: Jack Gohlke picks Troy to upset Kentucky Basketball
You won’t find many Kentucky basketball games that aren’t ready to forget and move on from Jack Gohlke.
The former Oakland guard torched John Calipari and Kentucky in the opening round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, scoring 32 points via a layup and 10 made 3-pointers.
Kentucky simply didn’t have an answer for the lethal shooter and paid the price as they were massively upset and bounced from the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.
Fans had not heard much — if anything at all — from Gohlke since his efforts sent Kentucky packing last spring. However, he did manage to make headlines with his upset pick for this weekend.
Gohlke is going with No. 14 seed Troy to beat No. 3 seed Kentucky on Friday night in Milwaukee.

Given the injuries Kentucky is dealing with — especially in their backcourt — the analytics are showing that an upset by Troy wouldn’t be farfetched.
ESPN’s Basketball Power Index is giving Kentucky an 89% chance to pull off the victory, with the point spread set at 11.5 in favor of the Wildcats.
Though the odds appear to be rather stacked against Troy, don’t rule them out just yet. Despite the oddsmakers not putting much into Troy being a first-weekend upset team, both teams still have to go out and play 40 minutes of very good-to-great basketball.
Tip-off for Friday night’s game is scheduled for 7:10 PM ET with TV coverage on CBS.

Kentucky among Southeastern states receiving FEMA disaster recovery funding
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the approval of nearly $23 million in funding to support natural disaster recovery throughout the Southeast.
Kentucky is among several states receiving funds for state-managed recovery programs after Hurricane Helene and other past disasters hit the Southeast, a news release from FEMA said.
According to FEMA, Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee will administer more than $2.1 million for disaster unemployment assistance to help those who may not be able to work as a direct result of a disaster.
Kentucky, alongside Georgia and Tennessee, was also awarded $2.4 million to fund crisis counseling and mental health support.
The funds will help pay for counselors and other services to help people with disaster-related stress and trauma, according to FEMA.
More information about state-managed recovery programs funded by FEMA can be found on the agency’s website.
