🎉Crazy 8, Elite 8, or maybe 8 Is Enough. That’s right—EIGHT! (Either I love to write…or I really hate free time.)

💙Big thanks to everyone who’s read, shared, encouraged, and cheered me on through this exciting journey.

The Huang and Short of It: UK 98-30 over Evansville.
Emily McDonald breaks Rhyne Howard's UK record with 9 threes, just days after Ajša Sivka tied it. Me’Arah O'Neal joins the fun.
Cats’ size is frightening. Its shooting even more so.
Short shelf life for school records.

Evansville coach Ben Wierzba fought back tears after a lopsided loss to Kentucky. His team is still grieving the tragic death of a teammate. Just seven players available, hopelessly overmatched, but still fighting.

Some victories never show up on the scoreboard.

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Don’t judge a book by its cover—but in this case, the story is playing out as expected. Kentucky over a small and totally outmatched Evansville opponent 21-7 after one quarter.

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Clara Strack and Ajša Sivka warming up.

Kentucky's Twin Towers.

They run. They shoot. They pass.

They also remind you that basketball is a game for tall people.

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

The Huang and Short of It: Kansas 89, UK 69.

Three games in. Too early to give up. But tonight offered precious little reason for confidence.

Foul trouble. Offensive confusion. No answers when adversity hit.

Pope promises a bloody practice.

Fans already suffered through one

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

What do farts and broadcasting freedom of speech have to do with each other? Nothing, but @cutler1300 and I manage to address both in a short 15-minute segment.

[ESPN Radio Lexington @ESPNRadioLex]

Horror on Rocky Top.

Joined Dick Gabriel to survey the wreckage, look for survivors, and find a little reason for hope amid the rubble.

Listen tonight for the reason we fell in love with college sports in the first place.

[Big Blue Insider @bigblueinsider1]

Tonight: We break down UK's loss at UT; Pope & Zoom on JMU; @KYHuangs on a busy week of UK sports; football Cats on UT loss; the CFP expansion; @EKUWWells on @EKUFootball struggles; @HeyItsMossy + bring that man some whole wheat toast. 6pm on @630WLAP

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Fun first hour of Just the Cats with @justthecatradio and @JustinKaelinPxP talking Tennestink.

Then Michael ditched us to go do his own thing, leaving Justin and me to fend for ourselves in hour two.

Thought captains were supposed to go down with the ship. 😂

Nearly three hours on Round of Shots last night discussing the Tennessee loss, playoff possibilities, Kansas, and the UK women. Kevin lost control early, the panel didn’t seem to care, and I tried my best to be the usual voice of reason. Truly terrifying.

The Huang and Short of It: Three straight sweeps! Kentucky handles Mississippi State on Senior Day. Skinner credits better practices, not magic. Berezowitz and Carr get their flowers. From 75 fans at his first match to a booming sport today. Not bad, Coach. Not bad at all.

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Don’t care what era this is, Senior Day is still pretty cool. @KentuckyVB

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

The Huang and Short of It: 34-6
Rocky Top got us again.
3 turnovers. 7 penalties. Too many self-inflicted wounds. Kentucky forgot the formula that got it to 7–1.
But one loss doesn't erase 7 wins.
Stein says no "loser mindset."
Good. Florida's next. Time to prove it.@cutler1300

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Halftime: Tennessee 10, Kentucky 6.

Cats have been able to move the ball. All UT scoring due to two big plays. Probably why Stein elected to take the 3 points at end of half.

Clean things up in 2nd half (limit turnovers, penalties, and the big play) and they can win this thing

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Costly penalties. Now another turnover. Who are these guys? C’mon!

Tennessee leads Kentucky 10-3 with 6 minutes left in first half. Vols to receive 2nd half kickoff. Danger time.

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Pretty cool I must say. Worth the price of admission.

[Keith Taylor @keithtaylor21]

Dark Mode light show at UT

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Blackout is cool. But there’s just enough Orange 🍊 (and blue 💙) to ruin it. Here we go!

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Yeah…but…it’s TENNESSEE IN KNOXVILLE😩

[alan cutler @cutler1300]

Oh MY @KYHuangs is so NERVOUS and so Negative!!!!! First road game for me since 2018. I think it’s going to be a GREAT day for Blue !! @ESPNRadioLex @ryanlemond @KeithFarmer18

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Woohoo! Here we come. Knoxville may never be the same. @cutler1300

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

Love this! Tremendous on-court passion. Guy was super respectful, however, to his former coach and teammates in postgame. Classy.

[Dylan Ballard @DylanBallard_UK]

JUSTIN MCBRIDE AGAINST HIS FORMER TEAM 😼😼

[John Huang @KYHuangs]

The Huang and Short of It 🏀 89-80 over JMU
Zoom Diallo shines. Justin McBride delivers against his former team. 8 turnovers despite unfamiliar lineups.
Pope says winning builds trust when players learn from their mistakes.
Next up, Kansas. The classroom's about to get tougher.
