Just when it appeared the offseason was over, Mark Pope decided to throw a nice little curveball by confirming Kentucky is, in fact, looking to add not one, but multiple pieces to close out the 2025-26 roster. The catch? None are expected to be difference-makers this season, the Wildcats pushing for a redshirt signing or two, maybe a portal player with one year of eligibility remaining looking to live out the dream in Lexington? One way or another, the UK head coach says he’s looking all over the world to find the perfect fits to wrap things up. Elsewhere, how about some Otega Oweh news? That’s included in the conversation, Pope sharing a BIG-TIME update on the star guard currently testing the draft waters. Also, Travis Perry is still portaling (and there is speculation he may be cashing out at his next stop, potentially earning starter-level minutes). How that makes Kentucky’s final roster push interesting.

What. A. Night. Everything was going against Kentucky in Norman as Oklahoma fought for a big-time upset for the Sooners’ postseason chances — and then Otega Oweh happened. The former OU guard scored the final 18 points and 21 of the last 23, including a game-winner to put UK on top and leave his old school with a CRAZY victory on the road. We also got some injury news on Lamont Butler and Jaxson Robinson as they returned to the floor for the first time in weeks, only one finishing the game with postseason play right around the corner. What’s the latest on both guards? Sources Say breaks down that wild win in Norman, plus what it means for the team’s SEC Tournament projections — and a potential rematch vs. Coach Cal and Arkansas in the opening round. Oh, and the No. 1 team in the country is coming to town on Saturday. That one is pretty important, too.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here, John Calipari making his highly anticipated return to Lexington, walking into Rupp Arena for the very first time as an Arkansas Razorback.

The Sources Say crew talks through those emotions and our take on the game before things get crazy on Saturday. Have the nerves hit yet? Will they ever? What are the keys to a win and potential players to keep an eye on? Who is this a must-win for, Kentucky or Cal?

Coming into Tuesday night’s game against Kentucky, the Wildcats’ main focus always centered around keeping the Aggies off the glass, especially on their own missed shots. Texas A&M brought a 44 percent offensive rebounding rate into Lexington and was coming off a 19 offensive rebound performance in a close loss to Alabama over the weekend. Even without a towering seven-footer, Texas A&M’s pure physicality and willingness to make the game ugly has allowed them to live on the boards this season. Jack Pilgrim and Shawn Smith break down Kentucky's win over Texas A&M and talk about the struggles that are happening down in Fayetteville, Arkansas

We’re just days removed from Kentucky‘s instant-classic win against a top-10 Florida team at home, and now, our pets’ heads are falling off and it’s time to panic. Just kidding — but it was a disaster for the Cats in Athens, Mark Pope’s group exposed once again with the tougher, more physical team winning inside Stegeman Coliseum. It’s played to the same script, all three of Kentucky’s losses looking the exact same with the same flaws killing their chances to establish some semblance of season momentum going into the core of SEC play. The highs are brilliantly high, but once again, the lows are excruciatingly low. And don’t even get us started on the officiating. What went wrong at Georgia? And what must fix in a hurry for the Cats to get back on track, specifically in Starkville? Sources Say breaks it down LIVE tonight on the KSR YouTube Channel.
