Painfully interesting for UK fans to note that (according to ESPN) West Virginia's 21-point loss to Duke marked the 2nd-most lopsided defeat in a Men's Semi-Final game since the tournament expanded to 64 (now 65) teams, with the worst being a 33-point Kansas whooping of D-Wade & Marquette in 2003. Of course, the Big Blue connection to this bit of trivia: both teams defeated UK in the regional finals to reach the Final Four.

UK made the official announcement on Friday. Somewhat surprising, given that the formal NBA evaluations have yet to take place. Meeks apparently will remain in the fold to test his status, but Patterson was thought to have much better draft standing than Meeks, and one would think Meeks will return for his Senior year. With good odds of Coach Cal landing highly-coveted prospect John Wall later this month to top off the already-#1 recruiting class, 2009-10 will no doubt be the most highly anticipated (with the highest pre-season expectations) season in BBN since 1996.

Assuming Meeks returns, the current roster is +2 over the scholarship limit:

1: E.Bledsoe, D.Liggins, K.Galloway2: J.Meeks, J.Hood3: D.Miller, D.Dodson, R.Harris, AJ Stewart4. P.Patterson, M.Pilgrim, J.Harrellson5. D.Cousins, D.Orton, P.Stevenson
Stewart is a safe bet to transfer;PPat's return means that Harrellson likely needs to walk-on if he wants to remain a Cat;Wall= Liggins/Galloway battling for the final scholly as PG#3.

11am press conference scheduled for Wednesday to announce Bledsoe's signing with UK.
