Here at Memorial Coliseum for the UK-South Carolina women’s game where Jennifer Smith is reporting :
Kentucky’s backup point guard is out for at least the next two weeks with a stress fracture in her right foot.
Crystal Riley, the sophomore transfer from Louisiana State, is likely to be out until at least the NCAA Tournament, should Kentucky advance there. Riley is averaging 3.2 points a game and 15.7 minutes. She had a career-high eight assists in UK’s last game against Florida.
In case you missed it, Michael Marot of AP on Bob Knight knocking John Calipari: “‘We’ve gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that’s why I’m glad I’m not coaching,’ he said. ‘You see we’ve got a coach at Kentucky (John Calipari), who put two schools on probation and he’s still coaching. I really don’t understand that.’”
USA Today asks if Knight is really a good messenger: “Many people will applaud Knight for his honesty both during his career and in his assessment of the game’s present state. During the speech the Hall of Famer also criticized the NCAA and players who don’t attend class. But there are others who feel that Knight cheap-shoted Calipari and that the problems at Memphis and Massachusetts should not all be laid at his door.”
Kentucky Sports Radio on Bob’s blast: “Interestingly enough, his point regarding the questionable integrity of college basketball could have been better made had he said the last two national champions were a team on probation (Kansas) and a coach (Roy Williams) partially responsible for them being there. But, Calipari continues to be a convenient scapegoat a la BTI.”
