What a whirlwind few days it’s been. On Saturday evening, the mood was as low as it’s been in BBN for some time as we digested the 41-0 loss to Louisville and worried about Year 14 with Mark Stoops. Two days later, his successor is in place, and he could make an appearance at Rupp Arena tonight during Kentucky Basketball’s big game vs. North Carolina.
On Monday night, news broke that Will Stein will be Kentucky’s head coach, a five-year deal, per Pete Thamel. Just a few hours later, it was confirmed. The Louisville native is the son of Matt Stein, who played for Jerry Claiborne at Kentucky in the 1980s.
