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.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
