Big Blue Nation cannot be happy.

Just checked some 2021 NBA mock drafts.

A pair of Kentucky freshmen are listed as lottery picks.

Hmmm...

I know the NBA is handicapping on upside but you would think a pair of future NBA players would not lose five straight games.

The competition has been salty.

Richmond, Kansas, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and North Carolina.

UK was favored over three of the five teams.

The Wildcats were 2-point underdogs today and 4-point underdogs to Kansas.

Favored by 6.5 over both Richmond and Georgia Tech and favored by 7.5 over Notre Dame.

Only one Kentucky player was available for interviews after Saturday's game.

His name was Keion Brooks.

He did not play against North Carolina.

PREVIOUS RANK: 8
Even though the Kentucky Wildcats are off to a slow start so far this season, BJ Boston has enough of a pedigree from his time in high school at Sierra Canyon to earn him some slack while he figures things out.

RAILBIRD and WEINKE versus hoopshype.com.

Hard to believe, this website has BJ rising from #8 to #4 in the 2021 NBA Draft.

It doesn't get any easier for Kentucky this Saturday.

The Wildcats will travel from Lexington to Louisville where the Cardinals should be about a four or five-point favorite over the Wildcats.

Of course, in these crazy times, no crowd of 22,000-plus.

Louisville home games will feature crowds of no more than 3,000 fans right now.

UK basketball coach John Calipari has told freshman Cam'Ron Fletcher to step away from the basketball team.

Calipari making this statement via Twitter Monday morning: “We have asked Cam Fletcher to take some time and step away from the team.

Hard for Calipari to work his magic coaching and meshing these one and dones when everything is virtual and have limited in person interaction

Final score: Louisville 62 Kentucky 59.

Louisville won the game, Kentucky cashed the bet.

Worst start for the Kentucky program since 1926.

Calipari now making history in Lexington for all the wrong reasons.

Interesting note: Calipari likes to recruit players by telling them the #1 priority for his college basketball program is to get players drafted by the NBA.

That's what youngsters want to hear so Calipari sells them the NBA dream.

I recently noticed Illinois has copied Calipari's strategy.

A banner behind the Illini bench today promoted the program's accomplishments.

Next to big bold letters touting Five Final Four Appearances was this claim, 76 NBA Draft Choices.
