Kentucky football might have a much better chance of beating Oklahoma than the oddsmakers think. After predicting a 17-13 Sooners victory, I get challenged on this pick by someone who believes the Wildcats should WIN in Norman. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe is joined by Paul Novielli of the Bleed Blue Network to debate Kentucky vs Oklahoma and whether the Wildcats are being underestimated heading into Saturday's SEC showdown. Paul makes his case for a Kentucky victory, pointing to Oklahoma's struggling offense, the Wildcats' explosive offensive production, and the difference between the Sooners' defensive reputation and their actual matchups. The two discuss quarterback play, Oklahoma's offensive-line injuries, Kentucky's success against LSU and Texas A&M, and whether the betting line is giving the Sooners too much credit. Plus, what would another ranked SEC victory mean for Kentucky's College Football Playoff hopes? And with basketball season approaching, Lance and Paul discuss Mark Pope's roster, the Wildcats' offensive potential, and expectations for the 2026-27 season. Did Paul change Lance's mind about Kentucky vs Oklahoma? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.

Kentucky basketball finally takes the floor Friday night against Little Rock, giving us our first real look at Mark Pope’s 2026-27 roster. The exhibition won’t define the season, but it should start answering some of the biggest questions Kentucky has carried all offseason. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews Kentucky basketball’s exhibition matchup with Little Rock and breaks down what we actually know about the Trojans under new head coach Travis Ford. Little Rock has rebuilt almost its entire roster, added several experienced scorers and should give the Wildcats a useful first test. Then, Lance gives the five biggest things he needs to see from Kentucky, including the defense, the battle at power forward between Ousmane N’Diaye and Justin McBride, the Zoom Diallo–Alex Wilkins backcourt, Malachi Moreno’s development and whether Mark Pope’s offense looks as fluid as expected. Finally, Lance projects Kentucky’s rotation, looks at which bench players could earn meaningful minutes, discusses the latest injury situation and gives a score prediction for Friday night.

Kentucky basketball keeps landing in the same range across the preseason projections. The SEC media picked the Wildcats seventh, Torvik has them seventh and KenPom has them ninth - but the actual numbers suggest there may be very little separating Kentucky from several of the teams ahead of them. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down the preseason SEC projections and asks whether Kentucky basketball is actually being underrated - or whether the league is simply that deep. Lance looks at KenPom, Torvik and the SEC media poll, why Kentucky’s defensive uncertainty matters, and the fascinating fact that the Wildcats are favored in 18 of their first 21 games despite their modest preseason ranking. Then, Lance introduces 7-foot-5 Kentucky recruiting target Cherif Millogo following his surprise official visit to Lexington. What makes Millogo such an intriguing 2027 prospect, what does his game look like beyond the obvious size, and how could new Kentucky assistant Alfred Aboya factor into the Wildcats’ international recruiting efforts? Finally, Lance discusses why Ousmane N’Diaye may be one of the biggest X-factors on Mark Pope’s roster. After generating buzz at Kentucky’s Pro Day, could the seven-footer be the type of player who dramatically raises Kentucky’s ceiling? Lance also shares the latest positive health updates on Kam Williams and Trent Noah. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kentucky football just did it again. The Wildcats beat No. 10 LSU 35-34 in overtime, went for two to win for the second straight week, and moved to 5-1 with two top-10 victories on the season. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down Kentucky football’s wild overtime win over LSU and why it’s time to stop treating this season like a fun surprise. C.J. Baxter ran wild, Kenny Minchey made critical plays, Kentucky won the turnover battle, and Will Stein once again trusted his team to win the game with a two-point conversion in overtime. Then, Lance looks at the bigger picture for Kentucky football. The Wildcats are now 5-1, 3-1 in SEC play and have beaten multiple top-10 opponents. Is it time to start talking seriously about the College Football Playoff and SEC Championship race? Lance explains what Kentucky has actually earned — and why the upcoming trip to Oklahoma suddenly means so much more. Finally, Lance discusses Kentucky basketball’s addition of Alfred Aboya to Mark Pope’s staff, what his NBA Academy Africa background could mean for recruiting, and why his connections could become especially interesting with 7-foot-5 prospect Cherif Millogo.

Kentucky football has a real opportunity to make a statement against No. 10 LSU. The Tigers are the more talented team on paper, but Kenny Minchey’s development, Kentucky’s ability to create turnovers and a night-game atmosphere at Kroger Field give the Wildcats a legitimate path to an upset. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews Kentucky football’s matchup with LSU and breaks down what Will Stein’s offense must do against one of the best defenses the Wildcats have faced this season. Can Kenny Minchey continue his strong play, keep Kentucky out of third-and-long and create enough explosive plays to give the Wildcats a chance? Then, Lance looks at the matchup between Sam Leavitt and Kentucky’s defense. The Wildcats must improve against quarterback scrambles, survive a depleted linebacker room and continue forcing turnovers if they want to knock off a top-10 opponent. Lance gives his final score prediction and explains why Kentucky can keep this game much closer than the spread suggests. Finally, the SEC Quench Meter returns with predictions for Georgia vs. Alabama, Texas vs. Oklahoma, Texas A&M vs. Missouri, Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt, South Carolina vs. Florida, Tennessee vs. Arkansas and Kentucky vs. LSU.

Kentucky Wildcats face pressing questions as Coach Mark Pope overhauls the roster after last season’s injury woes and point guard issues. Has Pope fixed the backcourt depth and rebuilt team chemistry, or will Kentucky’s traditional dominance be tested? Milan Momcilovic’s elite three-point shooting, Malachi Moreno’s potential breakout at center, and new faces like Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins bring promise—but does this mix stack up to Big Blue Nation standards? Isaac Schade and Lance Dawe break down Kentucky’s projected starting five, X-factors, and key rotational battles. Topics include the battle for power forward minutes, the impact of Mark Mitchell’s absence, and whether the Wildcats’ current talent can deliver an SEC title run. The duo also debates Kentucky’s challenging non-conference schedule, projected SEC finish, and how this Wildcats squad stacks up against Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

Kentucky football wanted Sam Leavitt in the transfer portal before ultimately landing Kenny Minchey - and five games into the season, the Wildcats should have zero regrets. Now Leavitt and LSU come to Lexington for a huge SEC matchup, giving Kentucky a chance to prove Minchey was exactly the quarterback Will Stein needed. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down the Kenny Minchey vs. Sam Leavitt storyline ahead of Kentucky football's matchup with LSU. Kentucky originally pursued Leavitt in the transfer portal, but after missing on him, the Wildcats flipped Minchey - who has responded with efficient, turnover-free quarterback play and a breakout performance in Kentucky's comeback win over South Carolina. Then, Lance explains why Kentucky has a legitimate chance to upset LSU at Kroger Field. The Wildcats are 4-1, have already won two SEC road games, and now get a top-10 opponent at home. Lance looks at Kentucky's strengths, the biggest concerns against LSU, and why stopping Sam Leavitt's mobility will be one of the keys to the game. Finally, Lance previews Kentucky basketball's Pro Day and the biggest things to watch, including Alex Wilkins' shooting, Malachi Moreno's offseason development, Ousmane N'Diaye's upside, the battle at power forward, and the overall health of Mark Pope's roster.

Kentucky football erased a 17-point deficit and stunned South Carolina 35-34 in overtime, ending a four-game losing streak against the Gamecocks. Will Stein went for the win with a two-point conversion, Kenny Minchey delivered when Kentucky needed him most, and the Wildcats moved to 4-1 with another SEC road victory. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down Kentucky football's wild comeback win over South Carolina and why the victory may have shown us something different about the Will Stein era. The Wildcats fell behind 17-0, struggled to establish the running game and were outgained by the Gamecocks, but halftime adjustments, timely turnovers and an aggressive overtime decision helped Kentucky escape Columbia with a 35-34 win. Then, Lance discusses Kenny Minchey's breakout performance. Minchey threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, carried Kentucky's offense when the running game wasn't working and delivered both the overtime touchdown and game-winning two-point conversion. Has Kentucky found a quarterback it can trust to win games rather than simply manage them? Finally, Lance reacts to Big Blue Madness and the biggest Kentucky basketball takeaways, including Alex Wilkins' shooting, the Wildcats' improving health, Ousmane N'Diaye and Justin McBride showing off their athleticism, and Karl-Anthony Towns returning to Rupp Arena.

Kentucky basketball keeps getting ranked closer to the top 20 than the top 10, and part of that may come from a national perception that Mark Pope has struggled as a recruiter. But does that reputation actually match the roster he has built in Lexington? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe breaks down the recruiting narrative surrounding Mark Pope and why the evidence may no longer support the idea that he is a poor recruiter. Pope has certainly had high-profile misses, but he has also signed a top national high school class, landed elite transfer talent, brought in five-star prospects and assembled a Kentucky roster that looks much stronger on paper than its preseason ranking suggests. Then, Lance looks at why national outlets continue to rank Kentucky around No. 19 despite the presence of Milan Momcilovic, Malachi Moreno, Zoom Diallo, Alex Wilkins and one of the deepest frontcourts in college basketball. Are analysts questioning Kentucky’s talent, or are they simply waiting to see whether all of the new pieces fit together? Finally, Lance discusses what Kentucky has to prove early in the 2026-27 season to make those preseason rankings look too conservative, including the development of the Wildcats’ guard play, Malachi Moreno’s sophomore leap and whether Kentucky can turn its size and length into a real defensive weapon.
