“I got million-dollar dreams and federal nightmares. I gotta go to work.” — Jay Bilas, probably.

One of the top basketball analysts in the world joins Sources Say to talk about Mark Pope exceeding expectations in year one, how a healthy Kentucky team could have gone to the Final Four last year, Otega Oweh’s return, the transition from Lamont Butler to Jaland Lowe and if the Cats can hang banner No. 9 in 2025-26, among other topics.

Also, did you know Rajon Rondo is apparently the best flag football QB in the United States? Time for the 2028 Olympic Games? Sources Say talks about that, plus Kentucky’s team retreat over the weekend, National Dog Day, Todd Golden throwing a shot at Denzel Aberdeen and the Wildcats earning a No. 3 seed in Joe Lunardi’s latest (earliest?) Bracketology.
