Today on KSR: On the Road to Jacksonville

There's no time to rest.  The KSR crew is already on the road to Jacksonville to watch Kentucky play in the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament.  Before the Cats return to the Sunshine State, Coach Cal had some business to take care of back home.

Tweak Time

John Calipari has been feeling himself since the bracket was revealed on Selection Sunday.  He reached Peak Swaggy Cal when he dropped a "Tweak" into the end of last night's call-in show.

"We've done some tweaking over the years where we tweaked a little bit of offense and it totally changed who we became as a team," said Coach Cal.  "Now we've done that and I've done that with this team throughout the year, and I hate to tell you, we're not done yet. "I even did some things today that changed up stuff.  We had Nick and E.J. in together.  I said, 'Let's put these two together and let's play like this.'"

And that wasn't even the craziest part of the program.  ESPN's Marty Smith crashed the call-in show with a LIVE hit on SportsCenter. https://twitter.com/KentuckyMBB/status/1107770176664227842 In the middle of it all, he still found time to insist he could survive in the Alaskan wilderness. Hours later he doubled down on Twitter. https://twitter.com/ukcoachcalipari/status/1107836199245365254?s=21

The First Four

You only had to wait a day for more basketball.  Tonight the First Four begins in Dayton. The 16 seeds rarely provide any fireworks, but Belmont-Temple is intriguing.  With an extra week of rest and Dylan Windler, who dropped 32 and 21 in the OVC semifinals, the Bruins have the potential to make a nice little run if they get off to a good start tonight.

UK Women Hit Tobacco Road

The Road to the Final Four for the Kentucky women's basketball team is Tobacco Road.  Matthew Mitchell's team will begin its journey against Princeton this Saturday in Raleigh.  If the No. 6 seed can get past N.C. State, Baylor awaits in Greensboro.  A look at the entire bracket (that was leaked four hours early). [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1536"] Click to Enlarge[/caption]

Spring Football Returns

I'll be back at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility this morning to talk to the team after Spring Practice No. 4.  It should provide a slight reprieve from the Madness before it really gets crazy this weekend.

Bats and Legends get Makeovers

Kentucky's minor league baseball teams are paying homage to the Commonwealth's Hispanic and Latino heritage by participating in the Copa de la Diversion. The Bats will transform into the Los Murcielagos de Louisville for a three-day weekend in late June.  The Leyendas will take the field almost a dozen times in Lexington.  Who do you think created the best uniform?
