Kentucky football entered Saturday’s matchup against No. 9 Texas A&M looking to respond after a difficult loss to Alabama. What happened next sent a much different message about the Wildcats under first-year head coach Will Stein. Kentucky went on the road and defeated the Aggies 31-21, controlling much of the game and building a stunning 28-7 advantage heading into the fourth quarter. For Stein, however, the result was not a shock. “I’m not shocked. This is what Kentucky football is supposed to look like,” Stein told ESPN’s Kris Budden after the game, via Pete Thamel. “We were the tougher team…

Kentucky basketball still does not have a jersey-patch sponsor, but J. Batt’s latest comments suggest the Wildcats are in no hurry to change that.

Kentucky football already has a partnership with UK Invests, which agreed to a one-year deal worth nearly $5 million for the football jersey patch. The basketball program, however, has yet to announce a sponsor. So why is Kentucky taking its time? Batt addressed the situation during Thursday’s…

Kentucky basketball gave members of the media an experience unlike anything they usually get during the season, and Mark Pope’s latest idea turned into a memorable day inside the Joe Craft Center. The idea came from Pope, who suggested in August that members of the media should get the opportunity to experience basketball from the players’ perspective. That meant going through drills, competing against other media outlets, and eventually sitting down for postgame questions from Kentucky players. Before the competition began, media members were given a behind-the-scenes look at the 2026-27 Wildcats during practice. A few players were unavailable, including…

Kentucky fans finally have something to watch for regarding Trent Noah as head coach Mark Pope provided an update on the Wildcats wing and his recovery. Noah has been dealing with a hamstring issue that has already interrupted his preseason preparation. The junior initially tweaked the hamstring during the summer before later re-aggravating the injury, creating uncertainty around when he would be able to return to the court. That uncertainty has naturally caught the attention of Big Blue Nation. Noah was recently seen wearing a protective boot, which led to additional questions about the severity of his situation.
