The Kentucky Wildcats will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday at 4PM. At 6PM, bacon will be served along with your #1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats!! You can catch the game on the SEC Network. To catch my breakdown of tomorrow's game, CLICK HERE.

The day before a game is always media day and today is no different. Here's a few quotes and video of todays interviews thanks to UKathletics.com.

John Calipari
On playing Eric Bledsoe and John Wall together…
“Neither one was worried about the other in the recruiting process. I’ve been doing this long enough that if two of my best players are five men, I’ve got to figure out how to play them both at the same time. If two are shooting guards, I figure out how to play both of them at the same time. With these two, they are two of our better players and you play them. They are like two brothers. They enjoy playing with each other and they enjoy helping each other. One’s success is not affecting the other, unless it is in a positive way.”

John Wall
On guarding the 3-point shot especially with Rotnei Clark …
“If you are not ready for that then you might get beat by 40. If he gets going it is going to be tough to stop him. Our main thing this week in practice is to fight up the screens and trying to connect. He is not really tall, but he has a quick release. Once he gets hot, you are in trouble.”

Ramon Harris
On the respect Kentucky players have for Arkansas…
“This team is proving themselves when they play big teams. They almost beat Texas this year as well, and with us being at home will give us a little advantage, but we know they will come ready to play.”


Perry Stevenson
On the pressure of possibly being No. 1 in the polls if they beat Arkansas …
“We don’t really think about it too much. You can’t worry about it because you cannot let it affect the way that you are playing. So, we are not worried about it at all. That is the way to go.”

Wildcat Basketball

If you've been paying attention this season, you probably already know that Coach Calipari seems to have a good relationship with Lebron James. In fact, it's rumored that Lebron may come to UK to get his degree when he's ready. Before Lebron takes that degree, he will be lending his line of Nike Shoes to UK.

It's also been rumored that Lebron will be attending a game at Rupp. When he did have the opportunity, he chose to attend the NCAA Football Championship instead. Even if he never attends a game, this relationship is sure to pay big dividends on the recruiting trail. What better way is there to show that you have the connections that can get a kid to the NBA, than to hang out with the arguably the best player in the world.

Here's a look at Lebrons Kentucky Basketball shoes. I apologize, but this is the best image I could find.





This definitely isn't the first time UK has had their own shoe. In 2008 Nike released these with little to no fan fair. That's easy for me to understand. When your losing to Gardner Webb, it's kind of hard to get excited over new shoes.




Does anyone remember the denim uniforms? I never was a big fan of these uniforms. If anyone can find a pic of the Converse that goes with this uniform, please post a link in the comments.

We now have a pic of the shoes, thanks to Josh Smith, a member of the UK2K Fan Page on FB!!!



Now on to the Godfather of all UK themed tennis shoes....The Kentucky Dunks!! You probably remember it well. These shoes cam out shortly after the first Air Jordans and was basically the same shoe, but blue and white. I still remember checkerboard my shoe laces!





And for those that are just itching to checkerboard your shoes right now, here's a video that will show you how!
