Is it me or can anyone from Kentucky shoot in the Elite Eight? Male or Female? I thought it was going to be a beat down in the first 5 minutes of the UK Hoops game and then something happened. The women started shooting like the men. I thought I saw Bob Huggins sitting on the Oklahoma bench. Scary stuff. A great season for the UK Hoops team, and with Dunlap, Mathies, and Snowden not thinking about leaving early, things look bright for the women at Kentucky.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

[*]I did my first Lexy cast this morning and I didn’t realize it would be so hard to record a message, especially while driving! I wanted to play Steve Miller Band’s "The Joker" and my truck only has a cassette player. So the tone would go off to start recording the Lexy Cast, and the tape would be late starting. I guess it is one of those "had to be theres," but it got pretty frustrating. I guess I will give it another go in the morning.
[*]The big news of the day is all the Kentucky recruits at the Mickey D’s All American game seem to know that all 5 underclassmen are heading to the NBA. I am still very surprised to see a guy who was coming off the bench, averaged 5 points a game like Daniel Orton was, be a lottery pick. Is this draft that weak, or is Orton going to be that good? Looks like we might not find out how good he would be at Kentucky. In my opinion, he should come back though.
[*]The McDonald’s All American game is tonight and I am looking forward to see how everyone shoots. I am not worried about taking it to the hole, I want to see who can shoot the 3. The Cats need shooters, and I miss having the guys that has ice water in their veins and hits the 3 that blows the roof off of the gym.
[*]Heard a lot of rumors this evening concerning Brandon Knight’s commitment to UK. Several people who know someone that knows someone close to the UK program says that Knight has already committed. Well, nothing is official and the Big Blue Nation won’t know anything definite until April 14th.
[*]Rick Pitino got a 4 year extension with Louisville today. Also heard he got a 4 year supply of gift cards to Porcini’s. Must be good stuff.
[*]Spring Practice starts tomorrow and there is some concern about the defensive line. Having to replace 2 studs like Peters and Maxwell is a bigger concern for the coaching staff than picking a quarterback. Joker has said he is fine going to the fall without a clear cut #1 QB, but if there is some separation he would name one. I wonder how many people are reading and thinking, "Please not Mike Hartline!" I feel your pain!
