Kentucky basketball had 8 blocks against UCF Wednesday. Braydon Hawthorne had half himself.

But it wasn't the highs that made Mark Pope feel the best about the second-year. It was the lows.

When Kentucky quarterback Brennen Ward found the end zone against Vanderbilt, it had been months, if not years, in the making.

I wrote about the moment and its impact for The Cats' Pause and @247Sports

A week ago, Mason Williams was a standout in Kentucky's first exhibition.

But he didn't think he met the Kentucky standard.

I dove into Williams' mindset, Pope's expectations for him and why the conversation remains so critical:

When it was announced that the College Football Playoff intended to expand from 12 teams to 24 in 2027, it was... controversial to say the least.

For Will Stein and Kentucky, though, the change is a welcome one. He explained why on Tuesday.

Mi'Quise Humphrey-Grace played 70 of 72 defensive snaps last night and his effort in the second half was a big reason why Kentucky was able to re-gain momentum last night.
