Kentucky‘s backcourt now has a Jaland Lowe-sized hole for the rest of the year as PG1 will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder. What’s next for the Wildcats, particularly in his absence? There was a lot to like about the performance against Mississippi State — even with Lowe out for most of the game. Is it sustainable? What do we think of Jasper Johnson stepping up in that spot? Will he step up in that spot, starting as soon as LSU on Wednesday? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Episode 53 of The Memorial Memo, KSR’s Phoenix Stevens talks about Kentucky women’s basketball’s big-time win against Oklahoma (and the Alabama loss, but briefly because who wants to remember that?) before previewing the team’s next two games against Florida and Mississippi State. Of course, it wouldn’t truly be an episode of The Memorial Memo without some rankings updates as well. This week, there are some controversial takes on where Kentucky stands amongst the top teams in the country, and Phoenix offers his thoughts after an action-packed week.

The second weekend of transfer portal recruiting reached levels of unexpected awesomeness. Will Stein is firmly in the middle of a heater, and 11 Personnel is here to break it all down. Kentucky has picked up so many transfer portal commitments. It’s hard to keep track of them all. That’s why Nick Roush and Adam Luckett get paid the Big Blog Bucks. The Wildcats have landed 11 players in 24 hours to get to 25 transfer portal additions. That’s a lot. — Kentucky’s enormous move at offensive tackle. — Adding Texas flavor to the roster. — Is Stein ever going to sleep? — Dead Period Starts Tomorrow Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Missouri was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Kentucky, a nightmarish season for Mark Pope and the Wildcats that doesn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon. How do you give up a 15-2 run to end the game and choke away an eight-point lead in the final segment to earn a Quad 3 loss? Unfortunately, that’s what we have to talk about tonight on Sources Say. The irony is we talked about this result as something we wouldn’t even address, knowing what it means in a truly must-win scenario for a program struggling to keep its head above water. We joked that falling to the Tigers would mean NCAA Tournament chances take a serious hit with no obvious path to fixing things — because if you lose to Mizzou at home, why wouldn’t you lose to all of the other comparable mediocre competition on the schedule? This was thought to be a winning stretch where you could build some momentum. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the holidays over, KSR Happy Hour is back in its normal Thursday 4 p.m. ET slot. Grab a Country Boy brew, because a lot is going on, meaning we have a lot to talk about. Nick Roush and Jacob Polacheck are joining me this week to recap the latest happenings in the Transfer Portal, including how many hours of sleep they’ve gotten since it opened. Try as we might, we can’t ignore the Kentucky Basketball game that took place last night. The 73-68 loss to Missouri was bad. We’ll vent about the current state of the program midway through Mark Pope’s second season, and give our predictions on what lies ahead. When that gets too depressing, we’ll preview the College Football Playoffs. Are we all in on Oregon, or do we want Will Stein back in Lexington as soon as possible?

Things did NOT go well for the Kentucky Wildcats in Tuscaloosa, getting blown out once again at Alabama in a game that was never really close — even at full strength with Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance out there. What went wrong and how is it fixed with a winnable run of games coming up? What’s the deal with the weirdness from Mark Pope (plus the opposite from Nate Oats, who wasn’t shy about the subtle jabs after the fact)? Don’t forget about the revealing media opportunity featuring Mo Dioubate and Jaland Lowe going into the Missouri matchup this week… Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Happy New Year’s Eve, Big Blue Nation! We know you have big plans tonight to ring in 2026, but how about a new edition of Sources Say to help pass the time until the ball drops at midnight? That’s at 12 AM, so how about rolling with, say, 12 PM ET for this one? We’ve got plenty to talk about, obviously, with Kentucky finishing 2025 on a high note winning four straight — including two against name-brand competition, finally — and the debut of Jayden Quaintance. Is it enough to have you feeling good going into SEC play in January? Is this the Final Four contender we all thought it’d be when the season started?

Chaos is right around the corner. The college football transfer portal opens on Jan. 2. Before the madness begins, 11 Personnel is here to prepare BBN for Will Stein‘s first free agency. A new coach means there will be a significant amount of roster turnover. Where will the attrition come from? Who will Kentucky target? Can the Cats land a big fish? We’re discussing it all on the 11 Personnel Transfer Portal Preview. — Top Targets on Luckett’s Big Board — Change in coaching staff philosophy — Schools that may send multiple players to Kentucky — Will BBN get surprised by a significant departure?

Sources Say has some crow to eat, and they’re bringing in a heavy-hitter to prepare some of it in the form of Michael Moreno — former Eastern Kentucky basketball star and brother of current Wildcat, Malachi Moreno. Where did things go wrong to start the season and how did this team climb out of rock bottom to pull off back-to-back wins vs. Indiana and St. John’s before Christmas? There is still work to do, obviously, but just how many of the problems are fixed? Is it simply an identity shift? Or the availability of both Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance?

The first big move was at the top. Now the man at the top has some big moves to make. Will Stein is in the process of assembling his first coaching staff at Kentucky. There are vital roles that must be filled. Who is going to join Stein at Kentucky? 11 Personnel is here to share what we’re hearing.

It’s a great weekend to be a Wildcat, but for now, we’re going to focus on the fun on the hardwood with Sources Say, recapping that Friday win at Rupp Arena and what it means ahead of the trip to Louisville to take on the Cardinals on Tuesday. How are we feeling ahead of the rivalry matchup? UK is now No. 1 in the latest KenPom rankings — and that’s a sign that the Cats can be a legitimate Final Four team.
