Yes, it's almost basketball time. This year's schedule strikes me as unusually dramatic, even by the standards of UK basketball. There are some enormous games on the schedule, including a game against Kansas in New York, a home game with St. John's, a home game with North Carolina, an ESPN GameDay appearance in Nash-vegas, and the season finale at Florida.

One of the big discussions on the Joe B and Denny Show today is whether anyone from Garrard County has ever been recruited by UK. A guy who played at the county high school mentioned that he had played for a coach named Upchurch, and Joe B remembered that that coach's father had coached Jimmy Dan Connor--but that was at Anderson County.
