As was pointed out in the comments, A.J. Stewart has quit the Kentucky basketball team. Uhhh, this can't be good for the Cats. Stewart isn't exactly a great player that will be missed, but this is starting to become a disturbing trend with Gillispie and players quitting/leaving. It also makes one wonder if there will be more defections before long.
In Big East action:
Cincinnati beat West Virginia 65-61
Around the top 25:

It was ruled today that Mike Vick will be able to spend the last 2 months of his sentence under home confinement. I guess if I had to spend 2 months in "prison" I'd like to spend it in a $748,100 home, which is the least valuable of Vick's four homes.
Tom Brady married supermodel Gisele Bundchen today. Bundchen is the highest paid supermodel in the world with earnings of over $35 million per year.
The NBA took out a $200 million loan.
Tim Clark beat Tiger Woods today 4 and 2 in the 2nd round of the WGC - Accenture Match Play Championship.
The Louisville baseball team plays at home Friday at 2 PM versus Bowling Green. You all should try to make it out. They got $1 beers and $1 hot dogs during the game out in left field.

Overtime Thoughts - 2/25
Once again, thanks to everyone who listened to our inaugural show last night! It was a lot of fun to do and we can't wait to do it again next Tuesday. Also, please help the show grow by telling everyone you know about it.
So last night, we talked about how UK had a game tonight. I guess they forgot. Because they sure as heck did not show up to play in Columbia, SC as they got hammered by the Gamecocks 77-59. Jodie Meeks scored 18 and Patrick Patterson had 28 points. But like like we were saying last night, someone else needs to step up. Only three other Wildcats scored and the highest scorer of those three was Darius Miller with 5 points. That's not going to cut it. South Carolina's Devan Downey led the Gamecocks with 21 points.
There was a HUGE Big East game tonight in Milwaukee, WI as the #10 Marquette Golden Eagles faced off against the #2 UCONN Huskies. UCONN pulled ahead at the end and won 93-82. Marquette suffered a big blow in the first half when they lost PG Dominic James for the season with a broken bone in his foot. A.J. Price went off for 36 points.
Other scores from around the Big East:
#12 Villanova squeaked one out over DePaul 74-72
Notre Dame beat Rutgers 70-65
Seton Hall took down South Florida 75-60
From around the top 25:
#7 Duke beat Maryland 78-67
#8 Missouri killed Kansas State 94-74
#9 Michigan State beat Iowa 62-54
Virginia Tech upset #13 Clemson 80-77
#24 Texas held off Texas Tech 87-81
Your Louisville baseball team beat Eastern Kentucky 9-8 on a walk-off single by Adam Duvall. Preseason National Player of the Year Chris Dominguez was 3-5 with 4 RBI and a homer shy of a cycle.
New York Giants' RB Brandon Jacobs signed a 4-year, $25 million extension today.
After cutting 169 jobs, NFL commish Roger Goodell will take a 20% pay cut from his $11 million salary he earned this fiscal year.
The first day of spring training games was today. Check here for a scoreboard of all the games from the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues.
The Los Angeles Dodgers offered Manny Ramirez yet another contract. This one, Manny would receive $25 million this year with a player option in 2010 that would be worth $20 million.
Tiger Woods beat Brendan Jones 3 and 2 in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Tournament today.

Overtime Thoughts - 2/23
Your #6 Louisville Cardinals went into D.C. and handed Georgetown a devastating loss. The Cards totally dominated the Hoyas in a 76-58 win. Terrence Williams had a double-double and Earl Clark had 22 points. Tune into our show Tuesday night at 9 PM for more of our thoughts!
A Blake Griffin-less Oklahoma Sooner team lost to Kansas tonight 87-78. That is two in a row now for the Sooners for those counting.
Donovan McNabb is putting off signing an extension with the Eagles until he sees what else Philly will do in the offseason.
The Indianapolis Colts will end their relationship with WR Marvin Harrison later this week after Harrison refused to take a pay cut.

Overtime Thoughts - 2/22 *Gift Card Giveaway*
Your #7 Louisville Cardinals (21-5, 12-2) play @ Georgetown (14-11, 5-9) tomorrow night on ESPN's Big Monday. The game will be at 7 PM. The Hoyas are coming off a tough loss at home to #11 Marquette on Saturday. This is a must win game for the Hoyas. I have to think if they do not find a way to win this one, they will be heading to the NIT. Guess the score of the game in our comments to win a $10 gift card to the Lunch Pail!!
Around the Big East:
#14 Villanova outlasted #25 Syracuse 89-86
West Virginia won at Rutgers 74-56
St. John's defeated Seton Hall 70-65
Around the top 25:
#5 Michigan State defeated Wisconsin 61-50
#9 Duke beat #8 Wake Forest 101-91
#11 Arizona State defeated Arizona 70-68
#13 Clemson beat Georgia Tech 81-73
#16 Illinois bounced back against Ohio State 70-68
#17 Xavier crushed George Washington 71-53
#11 Florida finished their 3-game sweep over our #17 Louisville baseball team with a 3-2 win today in Gainesville. The Cards return home with a game this Wednesday against Eastern Kentucky at 2 PM.
Oklahoma's Blake Griffin's status is still uncertain for the Sooners' game against Kansas on Big Monday. Griffin suffered a concussion in the first half of last night's loss to Texas.
Phil Mickelson had a 4-shot lead going into the final round of the Northern Trust Open today. He somehow lost that lead and came from behind to defeat Steve Stricker by one shot to earn his 35th career PGA win. It was his first tournament of the year. All eyes in the golf world will be on Tiger Woods next weekend as he will play for the first time since last year's US Open, which he won on basically one leg.

Overtime Thoughts - 2/21
Thanks to everyone who attempted to predict the score for today's Louisville/Cincinnati game. We will be having that contest for the remainder of the season. No one got it right. Co-host Michael Vanover got one team's score right and was one off on the other one's. See, we know what we're talking about here.
#7 Louisville was up to the test on the road today and defeated Cincinnati 72-63. The game knocks UC to 0-8 against top 25 teams as their at-large bid hopes are falling away. They are going to have to get a marquee win in order to get in. Louisville goes to 21-5 on the year and 12-2 in the Big East. Terrence Williams led all scorers with 20 points.
Kentucky swept the season series against Tennessee today with a 77-58 win over the Vols. Tennessee simply was no match against the Cats today. From the opening tip, it just seemed like they had absolutely no idea what they were doing. UK's team...wait, I mean Jodie Meeks was held 3-less for the first time this season.
Around the Big East:
#1 UCONN handled South Florida 64-50
#4 Pitt beat Depaul 80-61
#11 Marquette held off Georgetown 78-72
Notre Dame defeated Providence 103-84
Around the top 25:
Texas pulled off a monster upset over #2 Oklahoma 73-68
Maryland came back from 16 down and pulled off a huge upset over #3 North Carolina 88-85 in OT
#6 Memphis held off UTEP 70-63
#10 Missouri defeated Colorado 66-53
Washington State stunned #15 UCLA 82-81 in a thriller.
#18 Kansas beat Nebraska 70-53
#19 Washington defeated USC 60-51
#20 Gonzaga crushed Pepperdine 92-58
#21 Purdue defeated rival Indiana 81-67
#22 Butler beat Davidson 75-63 in a Bracketbuster game. That one probably ended Davidson's at-large bid possibilities.
St. Mary's knocked off #23 Utah State 75-64
#24 LSU beat Auburn 79-72
Due to #1 UCONN's loss to Pitt, #2 Oklahoma's loss to Texas, and #3 UNC's loss to Maryland, Pitt will most likely move to #1 for the second time this season. What happened to all this talk about the ACC's top 3 teams being better than the Big East's top 3? My guess is that the top 6 next week will be Pitt, UCONN, Oklahoma, Memphis, UNC, Louisville. That seems pretty Big East heavy.
Your #17 Louisville baseball team dropped their 2nd game of a 3-game series with #11 Florida 10-4 earlier today. They will try to salvage the 3rd game tomorrow at 12 PM. Audio can be heard on uoflsports.com.
The #1 wide receiver in the upcoming NFL draft, Michael Crabtree, suffered a stress fracture in his left foot that will force him to sit out 6-10 weeks and will not be able to participate in any pre-draft workouts.
Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson is on a mission to show how the BCS is unfair in that the MWC champion does not get an auto bid to a BCS bowl game, but the 6 BCS conference champs do. He is working on a proposal to change the current system. I, for one, think the Mountain West champ deserves the exact amount of respect and credit as other BCS conference champions. Vote in our poll and tell us what you think!
Arizona QB Kurt Warner is leaning towards coming back next year after leading the Cardinals to the Super Bowl last season.
There are a lot of mixed feelings on what should be done about steroid users in baseball among you all who voted in the poll. But a 1-year ban ended up getting the most support with 37% of the vote.
Keep up the comments guys!

Overtime Thoughts - 2/20 *Gift Card Giveaway*
Don't forget to add us as your Facebook friend. Our name is Ot Show. We wanted something a little better, but Facebook is a bunch of name nazis and won't allow anything more than that.
The 17th ranked Louisville baseball team dropped its season opener in Gainesville, FL against the #11 Florida Gators 6-3. The Cards play the Gators again today at 1 PM. The game can be listened to on CardsTV at uoflsports.com.
Your #7 Louisville Cardinals travel up I-71 to face the Cincinnati Bearcats tomorrow at 2 PM. The game can be seen locally on WHAS or online at ESPN360.com. Everyone offer up your predictions for the game. If anyone gets the score correctly, they will receive a $10 Lunch Pail gift card!
The Overtime Show would also like to congratulate the Louisville Men's Ice Hockey team in their 6-5 win over Xavier last night. It was their first win in about 2 years.
Also, our "buddies" down the road in Lexington play a big game against Tennessee tommorrow at 1 PM. If you all remember correctly, Tennessee is the team who forgot to play defense at the same time Jodie Meeks decided to make it rain all over Knoxville, thus resulting in a 54 point performance in Kentucky's 90-72 win over the Vols on January 13th.
Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology is out. Your Cards are a 2-seed squaring off against Robert Morris from the Northeast Conference. The Big Ten made a big splash in this edition with 8 teams in, ahead of the ACC (7) and the Big East (7). Also, Louisville is 5th on the S-Curve, which means they are the first in line for a 1-seed if UNC, Oklahoma, UCONN, or Pitt were to falter down the stretch.
Also, you asked, therefore you shall receive. Lil Wayne's tattoo after signing a deal with ESPN to join their site as a blogger...
From the NBA realm, Amare Stoudemire of the Suns had surgery on his eye today that could force him to miss the remainder of the season. He'll be out "about 8 weeks."
LeBron James scored a season high 55 points in the Cavs' 111-103 win over Milwaukee. He scored 16 points in the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half.
In baseball, Baltimore 2nd baseman Brian Roberts broke the bank with a 4-year, $40 million extension today.
It looks like Cleveland will have a good ole fashioned quarterback battle between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson next season.
Super Bowl winning kicker Jeff Reed of the Steelers was fined $543.50 for breaking a towel dispenser and then using profane language at an employee of a supermarket after realizing there were no towels in the restroom.
Also, don't forget to vote in our poll about what baseball should do with steroid users.
We look forward to your comments!

Overtime Thoughts - 2/19
Thanks to everyone for participating in discussions in last night's thoughts. You guys are great and we can not wait to share our thoughts with you all on the air Tuesday night.
I added a new feature to our site. If you look on the right hand side of the page, you can now subscribe to all of our posts on here. Whenever we post our thoughts, you will receive an email letting you know, that way you know when to join in on discussions.
Let's lead off with some news from your #7 Louisville Cardinals. One of their recruits, PG Peyton Siva from Seattle, WA was named a McDonald's All-American. Siva will enroll at the University of Louisville this fall. North Carolina led all colleges with 4 McDonald's All-Americans this year. Representing the Big East, Villanova has 2 players, Pitt has 1, and UCONN has 1.
Big East action tonight:
#9 Duke went out of conference and won at the Garden against St. John's 76-69
#14 Villanova beat Rutgers 82-72 on Nova's senior night
Around the top 25:
Charlotte upset #17 Xavier 65-60 in an Atlantic 10 battle
#20 Gonzaga killed Loyola Marymount 91-54
#15 UCLA beat #19 Washington 85-76
A bunch of people were franchised today in the NFL: Dunta Robinson (Houston), Max Starks (Pittsburgh), Leroy Hill (Seattle), Bo Scaife (Tennessee), and Julius Peppers (Carolina). The Julius Peppers situation will be a good one to look at over the next few months as he has expressed how much he wants to leave Carolina.
42 year old Tom Glavine signed a one year deal today with his original team, the Atlanta Braves. The contract could pay him as much as $4.5 million if all incentives are reached.
Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes was fined $10,000 today by the NFL for his touchdown celebration after making the game-winning catch in Pittsburgh's win over Arizona. But hey, who can blame him? He's going to Disney World. Also, he sold his gloves that he caught that ball with for $70,200, all of which was donated to charity.
The NFL Combine is officially underway in Indianapolis. It will go on until Tuesday. You can even go to their website and vote what your favorite NFL Combine drill is!!
After rejecting a contract extension earlier in the week, Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach agreed to a 5-year $12.7 million deal. He declined the previous offer due to a clause that would have triggered his firing and a $1.5 million fine if he interviewed for any other job.

Overtime thoughts - 2/18
Every night, we will post some of the top stories of the day. Our hope in doing this is to get sports information out to you all even when we aren't on the air. Also, we are doing this so we can get some interaction from you all. If you have anything to say about anything we have listed, please post your thoughts in the comments section. This way we get feedback and can understand what you all are thinking more effectively.
Your #7 Louisville Cardinals (20-5, 11-2) defeated the Providence Friars (16-10, 8-6) tonight 94-76. The Friars hung with Louisville and even led until Providence all of a sudden forgot to shoot and went about 10 minutes without making a shot. Six Cardinals scored in double figures and Earl Clark had a double-double.
Some scores from around the Big East Conference:
Georgetown (14-10, 5-8) pummeled South Florida (8-17, 3-10) 65-40
West Virginia (18-8, 7-6) beat Notre Dame (14-11, 5-8) 79-68
Ranked teams in action tonight:
#3 North Carolina defeated NC State 89-80
#6 Memphis destroyed SMU 90-47
#8 Wake Forest beat Georgia Tech 87-69
#18 Kansas defeated Iowa State 72-55
Milwaukee pulled off the upset over #22 Butler 63-60
#23 Utah State defeated Cal State Bakersfield 78-57
#24 LSU came back and beat Arkansas 72-69
Also, The Overtime Show is not a big fan of Big Ten basketball. Imagine being at this game tonight: Penn State - 38, #16 Illinois - 33. What is that? My 3rd grade basketball team played in more exciting games than that.
Ken Griffey Jr. is returning to the Seattle Mariners where he played from 1989-2000. He signed a one-year deal worth a guarenteed $2 million with another possible $2.5 million in incentives.
In the NFL, Baltimore's Terrell Suggs, Tampa Bay's Antonio Bryant, and San Diego's Darren Sproles were all franchised today.
