The 5-foot-9 guard was named the Bluegrass Sports Commission Most Valuable Player of the game for the second straight season, becoming the first multi-year victor since the award’s inception in 2010.

Giants notes: Fallout from Beckham incident
Odell Beckham Jr has been suspended for one game following his risky play against Carolina cornerback, Josh Norman. Norman, meanwhile, was fined a total of 26,044 U.S. dollars (£17,450) for his part in a bad-tempered exchange.
Skal’s struggles continued in the Louisville game. They face an 11-1 Louisville squad with something to prove as well, and Kentucky junior guard Dominique Hawkins believes that beating another quality opponent provides more motivation than the rivalry.
House OKs year-end budget deal, sends legislation to Senate
Ryan managed to get an impressive 150 Republicans -a majority of the majority- onboard, and Democrats got Ryan to the end. Only six Democrats and Independent Bernie Sanders, another presidential hopeful, voted against the measure.
UofL basketball coach Rick Pitino explained why he skipped the post game news conference after losing to the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Memphis was led by superstar freshman Derrick Rose, who took Memphis to the Final Four and the first team to ever win 38 games in a single season. Ulis finished with arguably his best game this season, producing 21 points, eight assists and one turnover.
ESPN to Cover Manning Allegations in MNF Pre-game
Manning said that he can’t believe someone would carelessly release a report at this magnitude on air without any valid evidence. Peyton passionately denied the claims and he was supported by both the Broncos and the Colts in separate statements.
Twice after Louisville pulled within two in the last five minutes, Kentucky hit a big 3-pointer one by Ulis and another from Hawkins.
You can pore over the cell phone video of the gesture like it’s the Zapruder film, but it’s unlikely that’ll you’ll draw anything conclusive. What made it even worse was the COMPLETELY BOGUS explanation Pitino offered hours later.
Though numerous young Cardinals may not fully grasp the magnitude of the rivalry, their fans have certainly reminded them of what beating Kentucky means to them.
Pitino was also missing from the postgame press conference, but Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein told reporters that associate head coach Ralph Willard was already picked to handle the postgame responsibilities from the start. That’s why you have a $6 million contract. Pitino’s actions show a complete lack of responsibility and leadership. If the best version of him roams the hardwood on Saturday, Louisville will have its hands full. He has done so on multiple occasions because he is not required to talk after games by the Atlantic Coast Conference except after conference games.

“Once every two years, it’s an extremely emotional and hard experience for me to coach in Rupp Arena”, Pitino wrote. If that’s the case, why so much confusion about his non-appearance from the people he notified? Their strategy was what I thought they would do and that was to play zone the whole game and make Kentucky beat them with their outside shooting which happened to backfire on this particular day. Are you kidding? That’s why you’re the head coach of Louisville. The man continues to baffle me. Despite the standout performance, Lee’s night ended in disappointment as he missed a possible game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. But if we’re comparing this to other situations of the past, how is it that Coach Pitino is the only one to draw these titles?
