With the official start of basketball season last Friday, KSR College writers have been in full swing preparing for the upcoming season.
Here's a few posts to get you up to speed on college basketball for Kentucky and the rest of the nation in 2012-2013:
-You've seen them dance but how much do you REALLY know about the men's basketball team?
JC Ausmus plays the "Getting to Know You" game in her weekly fun facts post.
-JC also did a great series interviewing the UK Hoops' assistant coaches. Check out her talks with
Danielle Santos,
Matt Insell, and
Shalon Pillow.
-After a fruitful BBM that produced some big name commitments, you have to wonder how much the fans can influence a recruit's decision.
Tara Bilby explores that question in "How Important Are Fans to Recruiting?"
-Calipari's public relations hand is still strong, as evident by tonight's All-Access special on ESPN.
Jack Heyburn provides us with the link for the official preview, as well as his thoughts on Calipari and the bacon shortage.
-We've been asking this question practically since the final buzzer of the title game this past April: can Kentucky repeat as national champions? One of the main factors that causes some people to doubt this as a possibility is the fact that we lost five underclassmen to the NBA draft.
With College Hoopedia's help, I examined past national champions that lost multiple underclassmen and how they fared in the tournament the next year. The answers may surprise you.
-And finally, as we tend to do at KSRCollege,
we've decided to preview each college basketball conference. Interns- doing the work so you don't have to. Click for each conference's preview:
America East,
Big 10,
Big South,
MAC,
Missouri Valley Conference, and
Mountain West. More will be coming over the next week, so keep checking back!
