– Jamal Mashburn, UK’s all-time sixth-leading scorer, is scheduled to be a part of the broadcasting team for the UK-Drexel game on Dec. 21 on ESPNU. If all goes according to plan and UK wins its next two games, the Cats will become the first program to 2,000 wins.

– Jodie Meeks’ record-setting 54-point performance vs. Tennessee was tabbed as one of the top 20 most memorable college basketball performances of the 2000s, according to Sports Illustrated.

– Maybe the most crowning achievement today, which unfortunately got overshadowed a bit by the news of Rich Brooks winning SEC Coach of the Year, was the news that senior setter Sarah Rumely was named a second-team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. UK is going to be really good again next year, but it will be impossible to replace the contributions of Rumely. She is the program’s only SEC Player of the Year and has been the face of the program the last few years. Without her, UK doesn’t make five straight NCAA Tournament appearances. BriAnne Sauer and Sarah Mendoza were honorable mention All-Americans.
