Today is a big day so let's get some news out of the way so we can get ready for tonight's big game... :: The NCAA Tournament will remain with CBS (at least partially) according to an ESPN report Friday night. The article claims that the "mother ship" will not raise their current bid. CBS and Turner hold the highest bid which stands at 840 million while ESPN came in at 800 million. The interesting thing is that if this holds true, CBS and TNT will alternate rights to the Final Four annually. Who would have ever thought seeing the Final Four on cable? I guess if it's good for Conan, it can be good for the Big Dance. My how the times are a' changing.
:: Alan Cutler of WLEX reported Friday night that Patterson will hold a press conference to announce his future plans some time next week. While most believe Patrick will leave Lexington for the NBA, Tywanna Patterson told Culter that a decision has not been made. She went on to say that she wouldn't be surprised to see him back at Kentucky next season. It's hard to believe that he will turn down a potential first round pick two years in a row, but I guess stranger things have happened. Either way, we'll know his plans soon.
:: Recruiting rumors continue to heat up as the Jordan Brand All Star Game is just hours away. Doron Lamb and Josh Selby will announce their school of choice at the event and many believe Coach Cal will get another big time commitment. There have been a handful of people who have already reported that Lamb will choose UK tomorrow (including us), meanwhile, depending on who you talk to, Selby could pick a number of schools, but it seems Kansas is the safest bet. KUSports.com is reporting that he'll be headed to Lawrence next season (they are also predicting Lamb to Kentucky). Still there are some in Knoxville who still believe that they have a puncher's chance at Selby. Poor guys.
:: Speaking of the Jordan All Stars, it seems as if UK's newest addition had a good practice session yesterday. Jay Williams reported that he dominated the session saying, "(Knight was) making crisp passes and breaking down people left and right." Williams may not be a great source for recruiting information (he's now claiming that KU is in good shape for Jones?), but he knows a thing or two about the game and specifically the point guard position. If he thinks Knight is playing well this weekend, there's no reason to believe otherwise.
:: Well, today should reveal a few more pieces of the national recruiting puzzle and by all indications, Kentucky will be involved again. ESPN2 will be airing the game live tonight, and I am sure all of Big Blue Nation will not only be tuning in to watch our future point guard, but hopefully our next shooting guard, as well.
Stay tuned and enjoy the game, we'll be around later to break it all down.
