  • Lady Bears march ahead with...

    Former Lady Bears coach Richard Dooley had patiently molded a team together that turned the corner last season, compiling a winning record for the first time in several years. Last week, Daniel Cox kept the girls marching in the same direction with two wins in three games, including the season opening 32-24 win to mark the beginning of his tenure.

    Cox deflected any mention of his first victory, saying the season is about the girls and keeping them focused on playing winning basketball.

  • Up and down arrows point to UK...

    Tongue-in-cheek this week, sorta ... a few UP arrows why one man thinks Kentucky (6-6) going to the Liberty Bowling is a good thing. And, a few DOWN arrows why it isn’t.

    UP ...

    1. 50th anniversary for Liberty ... special gifts for players, freebies for media and party time on Beale Street for everyone.

    2. Chance to beat one team in ‘08 with a winning record, East Carolina is 9-4.

    3. Chance to erase nose-dive finish (lost last three games).

    4. Chance for hat trick, finish above .500 last three seasons.

  • Young Bears drop first three

    Spencer County Coach Jacob Bamore knew his young Bears might struggle out the gate this season, but his emphasis isn’t on how they begin, but how they end as he faces the task of building a young team into a confident squad by year’s end.

  • Western pulls a stunner over No...

    As ugly, but important as Kentucky wins over Kansas State and West Virginia were, Western Kentucky’s stunner against No. 3 Louisville was handsome in patience, smarts, efficiency and toughness. Signature win for coach Ken McDonald and brag-rights feather-in-the-cap for the Hilltoppers.

    More, WKU’s win is a reminder for those struck with fat-head disease, and reduces the perceived distance between No. 3s and 2s in America and the ‘beam-us-up-Scotty,’ types in Sagarin ‘others’ compilations.

    LADIES FIRST
