The House of Blue

Officials for today's game: Tony Greene, Mark Whitehead, Steven Anderson

Programming note, I'm in the upper press area today that sometimes has spotty wireless. Updates as it cooperates.

It's Junior Day and lots of 2014 football recruits on campus. UK gotta do the obvious and have Mark Stoops do the 'Y'

don't know if it's coincidence but 2 home games in a row, Noel removes the plastic sheet to get a brand new sticky surface to clean dust from shows before opening tip.

After UK's best-ever recruiting class, I'd say the 'normal' is out the window. 2014 kids need to hear roar for Stoops.

Certainly not the start Cal or fans would want against a bad Auburn team. Down 12-9 at 14:17.

Auburn grabs 21-20 lead at 9:12. Cal mad. Calls timeout. Summons Polson back into game.

Second UK player today to get irritated after Auburn player jams into the them just after they release a free throw attempt. Wiltjer gave a puzzled look. Mays shoved the guy out of the way.

Oops. Nerlens asleep to fact only 3 on shot clock. UK 25-21

Funny. Barbee is Cal protege. Also prone to the 'Oh hell no, you didn't just let him do that?' timeout. UK up 29-24

Harrow in, Polson out and Calipari greets Polson with enthusiastic clapping and handshake.

Goodwin was hot. Refs looking at monitor to see what happened.
