Saturday Headlines: Kentucky Volleyball to Sweet 16 and UK Basketball lays down

Saturday Headlines: Kentucky Volleyball to Sweet 16 and UK Basketball lays down

Good morning, BBN!

Well, it’s certainly not the best morning after last night…

There’s really not much to say about the game. It was an all-systems failure that we haven’t seen in quite some time.

The Cats were never in the game. This team is totally broken, and unless something drastic changes, then this is going to be a long season.

On a positive note, Kentucky Volleyball looked very impressive last night as they took down UCLA 3-1.

BBN was at least able to be happy about something, and the Kentucky Volleyball team is far from finished.

They advance to the Sweet 16 next weekend.

In other news, it’s Championship Saturday!

Conference championships across the board, but none more stacked than No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Indiana, and No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 9 Alabama.

While those games are exciting, all four of those teams are safe with a loss. People have debated Alabama all week, but if the CFP punishes them for losing, that might be the end of Conference Championship games altogether.

What’s most intriguing is the Big 12 and ACC Championship Games, where BYU and Duke could really shake things up with a victory.

If one of them pulls off a win, will Miami or Notre Dame take the final spot? If both of them get a win… then both ND and Miami are out. I vote for chaos.
