  • WKU names new athletics director (Mar 12, 2010)
    BOWLING GREEN Western Kentucky University has announced that it hired Ross Bjork as its new athletics director.

    Bjork replaces Wood Selig, who left to take the athletics director job at Old Dominion.

    Western Kentucky President Gary Ransdell said at a news conference Friday that Bjork has worked the past five seasons as senior associate athletic director for development and external relations at UCLA.

    Ransdell says Bjork has 18 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics, having also worked at Miami, Fla., and Missouri.

    In addition, Bjork worked at Western Kentucky from 1996 to 1997 as assistant development coordinator.
  • Kentucky expecting tough matchup against Alabama (Mar 12, 2010)
    After Alabama rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit to win its Southeastern Conference tournament opener on Thursday, guard Mikhail Torrance made a promise.

    "We'll play hard," he said of the Tide's second-round game against Kentucky on Friday. "It'll be a total dogfight."

    A dogfight won't come as a surprise to Kentucky Coach John Calipari. He predicted as much after his team practiced later Thursday.

    "Their players believe they can win this game," he said of Alabama's players. "They believe it, so we better come to play."

    In assessing Friday's quarterfinal game against Alabama, Calipari returned to a theme he's hit upon numerous times: that the Cats match the opponent's intensity. He even shrugged off the notion of the throng of UK fans here lifting the players to the necessary level of zeal.
  • UK notes: Calipari wards off awards snub (Mar 12, 2010)
    NASHVILLE When asked how he felt about his colleagues not voting him Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, John Calipari feigned anger.

    "Oh, I was so mad," he said with a sarcastic tone. "Wait till I see those guys."

    In a more serious tone, Calipari said he had been coaching too long to worry about such awards. SEC coaches voted Kevin Stallings of Vanderbilt the league's Coach of the Year. Vandy finished two games behind Kentucky, a freshman-oriented team that Calipari guided to a regular-season championship at 14-2.

    "I've done this so long, I'm not fazed," Calipari said.

    The UK coach saluted Trent Johnson, who helped LSU salvage some pride with its only two league victories in the last two weeks. "That's incredible to do that," he said. "That's coaching."
  • Scott County girls stay alive after tough test from Belfry (Mar 12, 2010)
    BOWLING GREEN For a moment there, Scott County Coach Steve Helton channelled the Bee Gees.

    "Staying alive," he said. "That's all we're trying to do is stay alive."

    No. 9 Scott County, a better-than-25-point favorite over Belfry according to Dave Cantrall's Rating the State, needed a late surge to get past the Pirates 65-54 to stay alive at the Houchens Industries/KHSAA Girls Sweet Sixteen.

    "It's a win no matter how ugly it is we don't want it to be ugly, of course but we'll take it," Cardinals guard Kristen Stainback said.

    With the win, the Cards advance to Friday's quarterfinals, where they will meet No. 6 Boone County and star sophomore Sydney Moss, who had a double-double in the Rebels' morning win.
  • LCA's Barnette named Gatorade Player of the Year (Mar 12, 2010)
    Lexington Christian star Sarah Beth Barnette was named the state's Gatorade Player of the Year on Thursday.

    Barnette, a University of Kentucky signee, averaged 23.9 points for Lady Eagles this season. She's part of one of the best recruiting classes in the history of the UK women's program.

    The annual award, which is given to one player in each state, honors "not only athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court."
