I can’t believe the 2025-26 season is over for Kentucky men’s basketball.

Regardless of anything related to the team’s performance, words don’t describe how freaking cool it was to be on the court before the games, talk to the players and travel across the country.

I still remember the first time I asked Mark Pope a question, and how I somehow mustered up the courage to spit my words out.

Humbly, I’ve come so far since that moment, and the opportunities I’ve had with KY Insider have been nothing short of incredible.

Here’s to my first season on the beat. 💙

Former Wildcat Seth McGowan scores the first touchdown of his NFL career!

The Wildcats were due for that ugly loss, and it came in the most important game for the program in some time.

Unfortunate blunder against a rival opponent that likely won’t shut up for the next year about “embarrassing Will Stein.”

Nothing went Kentucky’s way, and just like the Alabama game, this can’t be a setback.

This is exactly how I feel. From an outside perspective, don’t let a loss against a good team at their place ruin a generational season.

finish the final three games out strong and you can 100% still get a playoff bid.
