Our friends over at 98.1 The Bull sent us these pics of country music stars showing their support for the Cats, which were too good not to share. And yes, while Lucy Hale is best known for "Pretty Little Liars," she also has a country album coming out soon, so there.
It's been another crazy day in the BBN, so let's get to some notes...
-- As we inch closer and closer to Dallas, here's a telling stat from @ESPNCBB:
Kentucky’s freshmen have scored 254 out of 283 pts (90%) in the NCAA Tournament. Wow.
-- You know how I know Bruce Pearl is really back? He's already taking his shirt off in public.
Check out this video of Bruce in a dunk tank at Auburn this afternoon:
Welcome back, Bruce. Put on a shirt, please.

The McDonald's All-American game is coming up tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, and we'll have some previews on the site later on. For now, Karl Towns is channeling his inner Doron Lamb by taking pictures of fellow UK signee Devin Booker passed out on the bus:
Sleep while you can, young one. Once you get to Lexington, it's #TeamNoSleep.

ESPN's Jeff Goodman ranked every single player left in the NCAA Tournament (except Willie Cauley-Stein, who will likely not play). Here's where he put the Cats:
3. Julius Randle
6. Aaron Harrison
8. James Young
10. Andrew Harrison
16. Dakari Johnson
23. Alex Poythress
24. Marcus Lee
30. Dominique Hawkins
33. Jarrod Polson
37. Jon Hood
38. Derek Willis
45. Sam Malone
49. EJ Floreal
52. Brian Long
54. Tod Lanter
Young ahead of Andrew? Malone in front of Floreal? Tod Lanter last?? Come on, Jeff. I think Malone's reaction was the best:

-- The Cats are still playing, which means I'm still previewing games for the Google+ crew. Last week, Fake Barney made his Google+ Hangout debut to rave reviews, and
this week, we're also bringing in country musician JD Shelburne to join the fun. Earlier this week, we shared Shelburne's song
“If you’re gonna play in Texas, you’ve gotta have Lee in the game,” with you, and rumor has it he and Barney may team up for an encore performance at the end of the show tonight.
The Hangout starts at 7 p.m., and I'll post it here on KSR for you guys to see. I can't wait.
On today's show, Matt and Drew were live from my city, Nashville, Tennessee, on a pit stop on their way to Dallas. Tune in to hear their thoughts on the Final Four, Dallas, and
everyone's favorite new game, "Awesome or Weird." What? Listen to find out.
