What happens when you let European soccer fans attend a basketball game? Well, you get the same thing you get at a soccer game, except this time it's indoors, so everything is amplified ten times.



In the end, 18 players were ejected and the game ended in a rather odd looking 3-on-3 match-up with one player just sitting on the floor in protest after not getting a foul call.



I'm not saying Americans are any better (but we are). We all remember this little incident...

Tony Wroten has announced via twitter that he might commit when he returns to Seattle. Everybody knows that UK is the front runner for Wroten, so could he possibly be our third 2011 commitment?

According to the NBA rookie salary scale, here’s what the five Kentucky players drafted in the first round Thursday night can expect in guaranteed salary their first two seasons:

John Wall, the first pick: $4,286,900 his first season and $4,608,400 the second second.

DeMarcus Cousins, the fifth pick: $2,812,200 his first season and $3,023,100 the second season.

Patrick Patterson, the 14th pick: $1,519,400 his first season and $1,633,300 the second season.

Eric Bledsoe, the 18th pick: $1,237,500 his first season and $1,330,300 the second season.

Daniel Orton, the 29th pick: $857,000 his firrt season and $921,300 the second season.

Bigblecats.com is reporting that the Boston Celtics may take Eric Bledsoe as a backup for Rondo with the 19th over all pick in tonights draft. the Washington Wizards and the Boston Celtics are the only 2 teams that are really looking for a point guard in the draft, and the top 2 point guards just happen to belong to Kentucky. Bledsoe would be the 2nd point guard that the Celtics have got from Kentucky in the past 5 years, and would be a great long term investment, like Rondo was. I personally would love to see Bledsoe go to the Celtics to make a UK back court there. And since Bledsoe and Rondo are very similar players, the team wouldnt really have to change their expectations and could continue to pile on like they had been the rest of the game.

OK.. I've been trying to keep the blog to just sports, but I'm breaking that rule for the rundown of the new iPhone 4. Now I've got to upgrade!!
