Here is the press release:

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The honors are beginning to roll in for the 2012 UK men’s basketball team as Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb were named to Dick Vitale’s All-Solid Gold teams.

He averaged 15.7 points, while pulling down 8.8 rebounds per game, ranking seventh and first in the SEC respectively.

true, but their other darling is in there that is just up the road from Duke and they are #3 on the all-time wins list.

And wondering why Barnes pic is higher than everybodys in the first team?

I don't think he is that special.




Go Cats!

I've already seen tweets proclaiming Austin Rivers will be on that list at the end of the season.
