Each Wednesday here at Cat Scratches, we’re going to take a look back at the latest week’s news in UK Athletics from around the web.Best on the ‘netBaseball: UK scratches past Louisville (CL Brown, Louisville Courier-Journal)Instead of being intimidated, University of Kentucky shortstop Taylor Black was invigorated when he got a glimpse of the 95 mph reading as University of Louisville closer Tony Zych warmed up on the mound in the top of the ninth inning.Black then planted Zych’s fastball in right field for an RBI single, capping a 3-for-4 outing and lifting the Wildcats to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night before a season-high crowd of 3,245 at Jim Patterson Stadium.Men’s basketball: UK’s future on display in Portland (Andy Katz, ESPN)UK-bound big man Anthony Davis led the USA team with 10 boards (and 16 points) while fellow signee Michael Gilchrist scored 16 and had five blocks. Point guard Marquis Teague didn’t have a solid shooting game at 3-for-10, but was still a starter. And the fourth member of this class — Portland native Kyle Wiltjer, who has dual citizenship between the U.S. and Canada — made a pair of 3s and finished with 12 points for the Canadians.”The greatest thing is that all four kids are great kids,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said Monday morning. “It’ll be fun. They want to do this together. They take on a roll, a swagger and an arrogance, but that’s based on their talent. They’ve got a ways to go. They all want to win, not just want to play.”Football: Could Newton be the next Woodson (Chip Cosby, Lexington Herald-Leader)Now Woodson is back in Lexington as a student assistant coach working with Newton and freshman Maxwell Smith, and Coach Joker Phillips hopes Woodson’s presence can rub off on Newton. Woodson and Phillips believe Newton’s story could wind up with a similar ending.”Physically, Morgan’s ahead of where Andre was at the same stage,” Phillips said. “He didn’t have a redshirt year like Andre, so he’s not quite where Andre was mentally, but hopefully he can have the same kind of outcome Andre did.”Football: Defense delivers TKO in scrimmage (Cosby, Herald-Leader)“We played really, really fast, and at times we played dominant defense,” he said. “I thought we played with enthusiasm and flew around.”The star of the day was senior Winston Guy, who has really taken to his new role as a linebacker/safety who plays closer to the line of scrimmage. Guy recorded a couple of sacks and was constantly in the backfield making plays.”It’s a different Winston Guy,” Phillips said. “I like the way he’s playing.”Football: Pipeline established between Louisville Central, UK (Brett Dawson, Louisville Courier-Journal)Patterson, another ex-Central star, is a freshman linebacker who enrolled this semester after sitting out the fall while rehabilitating an injury. He’s set to benefit from the experience of the veteran members of the Central-to-UK pipeline.”I’m trying to help him, show him the right way so he won’t go down the same path I did,” said Cobble, a defensive tackle who was academically ineligible last fall as a redshirt freshman. “Right now it seems like he’s doing fine. It started out a little rocky at first when he first got here, but it’s gotten better.”Men’s golf: UK finishes second in hosting annual tournament (Kentucky Kernel)The UK men’s golf team battled both the elements and a highly-ranked Auburn team to a second-place finish in the 2011 UK Bluegrass Invitational at the University Club of Kentucky’s Big Blue Course on Sunday.The Cats held a one-stroke lead at the end of the second round and an eight-stroke lead heading into the back nine, but finished with a 24-over-par three-round score of 876, eight strokes behind tournament champion Auburn.Baseball: Brian Adams excels as two-sport athlete (Ethan Levine, Kentucky Kernel)In mid-February, UK head baseball coach Gary Henderson stood at the podium a week before the Cats season began, enthusiastic about his centerfielder, Brian Adams.One month later, UK head football coach Joker Phillips stood at the same podium on the eve of the start of spring practice, equally enthusiastic about a fast wide receiver on his roster. His name was Brian Adams.This is no coincidence, nor is it a typo. For the last month, Adams has practiced with the football team in the morning, and played for the baseball team in the evening.Football: Rumph still has to be in better condition (Larry Vaught, Vaught’s Views)Men’s basketball: Josh Harrellson on next year, teammates to draft, his future (Larry Vaught, Vaught’s Views) Former Wildcats making headlinesWashington Mystics select Victoria Dunlap in WNBA Draft (Kathy Orton, Washington Post)After trading for center Nicky Anosike on Saturday, Washington made another move to bolster its front court by selecting Dunlap, a 6-foot-1 forward out of the University of Kentucky, with the 11th pick.”All season long I have followed Victoria and liked her,” Lacey said. “She’s been very high on my board. She’s a great athlete. She’s agile. She has versatility and a huge heart. She is a great defender, loves to rebound, all the things I like in a player. We’re very excited.” Video: John Wall talks about Victoria Dunlap (WNBA.com/Mystics)Randall Cobb the third-ranked wide receiver prospect (Matt Waldman, New York Times)3. Randall Cobb, Kentucky (5-10, 191)Cobb is fast, agile and physical, and he can make a difference in every phase of the game in which a player can handle the ball: running, receiving, special teams, and even passing.In this respect, Cobb reminds me of Hines Ward. I love how Cobb attacks defenders as a run blocker, and I haven’t seen this kind of aggressive mind-set since Santonio Holmes’s days at Ohio State five years ago. It’s no coincidence that the Steelers valued this Ward-like approach from Holmes.Cousins career-high can’t overcome Thunder (Jason Jones, Sacramento Bee)If the plan to guard DeMarcus Cousins is to try to get into his head, the Oklahoma City Thunder had the perfect defender for the rookie.Oklahoma City’s new starting center, Kendrick Perkins, has no problem getting physical with opponents, a trait he brought with him from Boston at the February trade deadline.Cousins took some hits early in Monday night’s game at Power Balance Pavilion, but he didn’t back down. Still, his season-high scoring wasn’t enough as the Kings lost to the Thunder 120-112 in a game that featured plenty of fouls and free throws.News from UKathletics,comBaseball: Ninth inning heroics lift UK past UofLSoftball: No. 18 UK heads to Marshall for mid-week matchupFootball: Defense shines in first major scrimmageMen’s tennis: Kentucky dominates in win over No. 30 LSUWomen’s volleyball: UK impressive in win at Ohio StateWomen’s basketball: Dunlap’s path led her to WNBAVideo of the weekRegan Judd is a graduating member of UK’s dance team.
