On Wednesday, Walker Horn and Zach Tow scored their first college basketball points.

Call them what you wish: Walk-ons. End-of-the-bench guys. Minutes eaters in garbage time.

But ask around, and you'll learn UK basketball can't function without them: ⬇️

Last night was an "Unforgettable" one in Rupp Arena.

John Pelphrey, Richie Farmer, Deron Feldhaus and Sean Woods were all there. As far as they could remember, it was the first time that had happened since 1992.

And the memories came pouring out.

Mark Pope’s offense is known for its free-flowing style, with cutting, screening and off-ball movement used to create scoring chances.

Against top opponents this season, that hasn’t been clicking for Kentucky.

Here’s why, and how that might change: ⬇️ www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

In fact, the Cats suffered the biggest drop in the country in today's poll. They'll have plenty of opportunities to rise again. All four of their marquee opponents in December are now ranked.

The question is clear, the answer is not:

Who is leading these Kentucky Wildcats? As of now, no one has stepped up as the primary voice for Mark Pope's second UK basketball team.

But there was a moment in Rupp on Friday that might be the start of something new: www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Mark Pope gave an optimistic update on Jayden Quaintance, who has hit another milestone in Kentucky's practices and could be trending closer to his UK basketball debut (though that's still likely weeks away).

Last night, Otega Oweh showed up.

"That guy is our guy. And him finding that a little bit — maybe for the first time this season — meant a lot to me."

The stat sheet didn't reflect it, but the eyeballs said that, perhaps, Kentucky's best player is back. www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

Mark Pope has hit the first real rough patch in his tenure as Kentucky's basketball coach.

Yesterday, he faced some of the issues head on. He also acknowledged off-the-court missteps early in this 2025-26 season. "Not a good call on my part."

The early signing period quietly came and went for Kentucky basketball.

The Wildcats still don't have a 2026 commit, and the number of 2026 recruiting options continues to dwindle.

What's Mark Pope's outlook for UK recruiting?

Poor defense isn’t Kentucky basketball’s only issue.

A potential strength also isn’t panning out for the Wildcats from behind the 3-point line.
