Kentucky basketball: Mark Pope highlights offense after loss to Ole Miss
Kentucky Wildcats basketball coach Mark Pope highlights the team’s good offensive performance in the 98-84 loss to Ole Miss on the road.
LEXINGTON — The number three will figure prominently for Kentucky basketball heading into today’s matchup versus South Carolina.
The reasons, in no specific order:
The good news for the Wildcats (15-7, 4-5 SEC), who are No. 14 in the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 rankings, is the Gamecocks are, on record alone, the worst team in the league.
South Carolina is 10-12 overall and the only winless team in conference play (0-9).
But it’s not as if the Gamecocks haven’t been competitive. Five of their nine SEC setbacks have been by five points or less: Auburn (66-63), Vanderbilt (66-63), Florida (70-69), Mississippi State (65-60 in overtime) and Texas A&M (76-72).

Courier Journal’s Keely Doll and Olivia Evans asked racegoers at the 152nd Kentucky Derby if the mint julep, a derby-staple, live up to its hype.

The Brooklyn Nets have developed their teams through a number of strategies over the decades, and their front office has put together considerable success through the NBA draft. Many of the franchise’s best players have joined the Nets either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades made on that day.
Moreover, it is not only the star players who have been acquired by the Nets through the draft. Several prominent alumni have been selected by the team each offseason during this annual event, with certain colleges being more prominently represented than others. An analysis of the players from different schools reveals that both prestigious programs and smaller institutions have contributed top talent to the Nets’ roster over the years.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Nets out of Kentucky State University.
