Sources Say Podcast

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving, Big Blue Nation! Kentucky is coming off back-to-back wins over Loyola (Md.) and Tennessee Tech — impressive efforts for the Wildcats leading to massive blowouts — but all eyes are on the week ahead with a pair of ranked opportunities waiting after a disappointing start to the year in such matchups at Louisville and in the Champions Classic vs. Michigan State. What went well for the Cats against the Greyhounds and Golden Eagles? Is any of it sustainable, especially with the new-look starting lineup featuring Kam Williams and Malachi Moreno? Will Otega Oweh be able to step up on the big stage for the first time this season? How do you shut down former UK target Caleb Wilson?

Vibes couldn’t be higher in Lexington, Kentucky steamrolling Florida in football after steamrolling Valparaiso in basketball — with women’s basketball, volleyball and men’s soccer still to come on this glorious Sunday. It’s a great weekend to be a Wildcat, but for now, we’re going to focus on the fun on the hardwood with Sources Say, recapping that Friday win at Rupp Arena and what it means ahead of the trip to Louisville to take on the Cardinals on Tuesday. How are we feeling ahead of the rivalry matchup? UK is now No. 1 in the latest KenPom rankings — and that’s a sign that the Cats can be a legitimate Final Four team. We talk about all of that, plus the latest on Christian Collins and Pope’s push to secure his commitment (and if it means anything for Tyran Stokes).

What a start for the Cats, eh? We talked about this team as a legitimate championship contender all offseason, and Kentucky backed up that chatter by mopping the floor with No. 1 Purdue in the exhibition opener. It didn’t count for anything, but as far as measuring sticks go, they don’t get much better — especially down your All-SEC point guard and a potential top-five draft pick. As dumb Boilermaker fans continue to yap about how much it doesn’t matter and how much Big Blue Nation is apparently obsessing over the win, though, we’ll move on to a Georgetown preview to talk UK’s exhibition finale on Thursday. Can the Wildcats take care of business in the same way before transitioning to regular season action? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What a time to be alive! It’s No. 9 Kentucky vs. No. 1 Purdue to open the 2025-26 college basketball season inside Rupp Arena and there is truly nothing better. Sources Say is BACK to break down the Cats taking on the Boilermakers in what is certain to be the best exhibition battle of all time. But first, what’s the deal with Jaland Lowe? He went down with a shoulder injury in the Blue-White Game and his status is in question for Friday. When will he be back? What kind of loss is it in the meantime and who will need to step up? We talk about that, plus all of the good, bad and ugly that came elsewhere in the intrasquad scrimmage. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
