A few quick thoughts after UK’s 86-73 win over the 49ers. DeAndre Liggins did a great job again, playing 14 minutes. He was the second Cat off the bench (after Daniel Orton, and he only got off first because DeMarcus Cousins put himself in early foul trouble). So he was pretty much the sixth man, [...]
Hard to believe that, at 6-foot-11 and 260 pounds, DeMarcus Cousins is still growing. Physically, he’s a beast. An animal in a basketball uniform.

The streak is over After going 18-for-18 at the foul line on Saturday against Austin Peay, the Cats continued their foul shooting [...]
Offensive tackle prospect Kenarious Gates, 6’5 289, has given a verbal committment to UK according to Catspause.com. The Greenville, Ga product also received offers from Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, UAB, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State.

Take a minute. Kick back, celebrate and let the world know. The Cats are the first team to 2,000 victories. But it doesn’t stop there. Send an e-mail, a tweet or post to Facebook.
