For months Kentucky coach John Calipari has been wanting to see more fight out of his team. He got it Saturday — even if he was not on the bench after being ejected early in the win at South Carolina.
“South Carolina is the most physical team in this conference. They are the toughest, fightingest team in this conference. They win games because they absolutely beat you up, physical play, offensive rebound, defensive rebound, attack you constantly,” Kentucky assistant coach Kenny Payne said after the win.
“And for us to play the way we did, it makes a statement about who we are. I can’t – when I told the guys during the end of the game, I can’t explain how proud I am to be a part of guys that played a team – there was no reason for us to believe that we were gonna go out and maybe outrebound or not get dominated rebounding-wise and not get stops against a team like that.”
A lot of that fight came from junior Marcus Lee, who often has been missing in action. But not Saturday when he had 11 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks. If he plays like that with the guard play UK gets, Kentucky is n elite team.

Since you used one of Vought's reports I thought I'd report on him too. They said last night that Vought would be moving to Channel 18 soon and would be doing some things for them. That's Danville's loss and Lexington's gain.

I can't be mad at the Danville Advocate Messenger. Times could be tough for the newspaper. They have employed the best sports reporter in the state of Kentucky for a very long time. I would think it was more budget decision, than a performance issue. Too bad the Lex Herald keeps an anti UK writer on the payroll. If I owned a bird, which I don't, I wouldn't line the cage with the Lex rag, because I wouldn't want to insult the bird.

Print media such as newspaper and magazines are having trouble keeping readers and many are cutting staff and losing subscribers. I think Vaught is making a right career move myself, he is a very good sports reporter and there is much more of an upside in TV than newspaper these days.

He is good and I can't wait to see how they use him at Channel 18.

He is the best when it comes to Kentucky basketball and I am sure will do well in any capacity, he is that good.
