Previous: 1		The Orange played on the road for the first time as the nation's top-ranked team and handled it well. Then Kris Joseph delivered a nice quote. "Not to say that we're arrogant, but we're No. 1 in the country for a reason," he said. They're also 11-0.W 88-72, at North Carolina State
Dec. 20, Bucknell

Overall: 10-1

Previous: 2		If it's not one thing it's another for Jared Sullinger. First the back spasms cost him two games, then a bad foot removed him from Saturday's win at South Carolina. X-rays were negative. But wouldn't it be nice if the nation's best big could stay healthy?W 82-58, South Carolina Upstate

Previous: 3		Even with the loss at Indiana some folks think UK is the nation's best team, and it's easy to see why. The Wildcats are crazy talented and mostly dominant as a team.
