UK Fans of the Day Love Afternoon Notes

by:Matt Jones12/14/09
fansfans A few notes for the day: --- John Wall won Freshman of the Week, for the fourth consecutive week. The award has now gone to a UK player in each week of the season, but this could be the exception. Because UK doesnt play during Finals week, there is an opening. Will another team jump through it? --- The UK-UCONN game drew a 1.9 rating, the highest for a college basketball game on ESPN this year. If you think that more of these games are coming in the future, then you are correct. --- Kentucky has now moved up to 3rd in both polls, just one spot behind Kansas and Texas. The Longhorns play UNC this week, giving the Cats a chance to rise again. --- While it has been mentioned on here in passing, Deandre Liggins playing on Saturday means that his previous suspension is now over, and he is back with the team completely. Does this mean he will get real minutes as the season progresses? There is a four game stretch coming where he can work himself into the rotation. Lets see if he does it. --- Saturday's Cats game is on Comcast Sports South, a channel that most of Kentucky does not get and is not on Insight. It will be interesting to see if the game magically appears somewhere soon. --- There was no podcast taping this week due to the schedules of all the various participants. We get back into it with one on Saturday in Lexington, then one the next week from the Music City Bowl, followed by another in the Hyatt at Rupp after the Louisville game. Lots of guests for the latter two, so stay tuned. More all day....
