Thank you to everyone who tuned in tonight. If the link didn't work for some people it's because too many people actually were listening. The studio we broadcast from could only take so many listeners and thanks to you all we reached that number tonight. The Matt Jones interview definitely brought a lot of people to the show. We also would like to thank Matt for coming on.
Check out our message boards for news and post anything that you find to discuss it with fans from around the nation.
In case you didn't get to tune in, most of the discussion tonight centered around UK's hiring of Coach Calipari and what it means for UK. We also debated on how UK's season will go next year and what this hiring does for the UK/UL rivalry.
If you have any thoughts on this, either post here in the comments, or use our brand new message board.

Kentucky fans looking at a door
This is crazy, UK fans are looking at the door of the Athletic Department at the University of Memphis, trying to spot Calipari leaving.
If you want to join in on the madness here's the link to The Door.
At 1:51 PM, there are currently 1400 people looking at this door.

Calipari to Cats May Cause Top Recruits to Follow
Kentucky fans are dreaming about what's to come, and with their men's basketball program currently searching for a new head coach, they should dream big. Current Memphis coach John Calipari may be on the verge of signing a deal to be that new head coach at the University of Kentucky, a deal that would make Calipari the highest paid coach in the land of college basketball. Kentucky fans should be attentive to the possibility that members of Calipari's recruiting class at Memphis may follow suit and join the coach at UK.
One Memphis commitment, DeMarcus Cousins, is of particular interest. Cousins, who stands at 6'9 and weighs in at 250 lbs, is one of the top players in the class of 2009 according to nearly every major recruiting database, ranked the #2 overall player by Rivals and the #2 center in the class by Scout. He is a force on the low block offensively, extremely tough to score over on the defensive side of the ball due to his length and athleticism, and has a nice handle with the ball for a big man.
Cousins is big #0 in white
Xavier Henry is #1 in white for Putnam City(OK)
One more player to keep an eye on is the top overall prospect by both Rivals and Scout, 6'4 point guard John Wall, who has Memphis high on his list and could add Kentucky to that list if Calipari is hired. Freakishly long and gifted, this guy can flat out play. See for yourself:
John Wall - Nasty
DeMarcus Cousins is the most likely to make the move, as he has not yet signed his letter of intent to Memphis, and will be able to freely join Calipari at UK. The NCAA has a history of being lenient with signees wanting to get out of a letter of intent due to coaching changes, so Xavier Henry joining the Wildcats next year as well is not out of the question. Calipari still has some recruiting to do if he plans to land John Wall over the likes of Duke, Baylor, Kansas, Miami, and N.C. State, and Kentucky may be just the thing to sway him one way or another.
So in the event that two of these three (or even all three) players join Calipari at Kentucky, and he can convince current UK signee Daniel Orton to stick around, next year's Kentucky line-up could look something like this: (This is also assuming that Kentucky loses none of their current key players. In other words, this is a best-case scenario for UK fans)
Assuming all three players join the Wildcats
1) John Wall/ DeAndre Liggins/ Michael Porter/ Kevin Galloway
2) Jodie Meeks/ Xavier Henry/ John Wall
3) Xavier Henry/ Darius Miller/ Ramon Harris/
4) Patrick Patterson/ DeMarcus Cousins/ Perry Stevenson
5) Daniel Orton/ DeMarcus Cousins/ Patrick Patterson
Every position could potentially be filled with a future NBA player. Everything working out exactly this way is a long shot. It would require losing a few current players on the roster for this to take place, but it would immediately put Kentucky back into the championship picture, which would be a phenomenal turnaround over a period of just one off-season. Dream big Kentucky fans.
Additional Note:
Louisville signee Peyton Siva made #6 on tonight's "SportsCenter Top Plays" with his performance in the McDonald's All-American Dunk Competition.
Here is Peyton's dunk competition warm-up video:
Update:
Xavier Henry has just stated that should Memphis coach John Calipari leave for any reason, he would be able to get out of his LOI and re-open his recruitment.

Cousins is big #0 in white
Also of interest is Memphis signee, Xavier Henry, another highly touted prospect in the 2009 class, rated as the #3 overall player by Rivals and the top shooting guard by both Rivals and Scout. A lefty and a prolific scorer from anywhere within 22 feet, the 6'6, 210 lb. wing out of Putnam City, Oklahoma has a pure jump shot with textbook form. Henry excels at slashing and finishing at the rim, using great body control and tremendous athleticism to impose his will.

Overtime Thoughts 3/30
The 3rd seeded Lady Cards were in action tonight in the Elite 8 of the Women's NCAA Tournament and defeated the 1 seed, Maryland 77-60 to advance to the school's first ever Final Four. They will play the winner of Oklahoma and Purdue on Sunday in St. Louis. Angel McCoughtry led all scorers with 21 points and also added 14 rebounds.
Still no official word yet on UK's next head coach. However, it seems like the school and John Calipari are close to working something out that will involve an astronomical amount of money.

Well, it's a sad day in Louisville tonight. The Cards bowed out of the NCAA Tournament with a 64-52 loss to the Michigan State Spartans. You can vent all you want on our message board.
The Tarheels from North Carolina also stamped their ticket to the Final Four with a 72-60 win over Oklahoma. They dominated from start to finish. That completes the Final Four with Michigan State, Connecticut, Villanova, and North Carolina making it this season.
Tiger Woods won his first tournament of the year today in the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a birdie putt on the 18th hole. Woods came back from 5 strokes down to win, matching his largest comeback of his career. I guess he's back.

So WHAS news broke today that Billy Gillispie had been fired and that it would be announced at a press conference tomorrow morning. WHAS broke the story at 9:30 PM tonight. UK followed that with:
In the NCAA today:
#1 Pitt edged out #4 Xavier 60-55
#1 UCONN beat #5 Purdue 72-60
#3 Missouri held on against #2 Memphis 102-91
#3 Villanova spanked #2 Duke 77-54
NFL commish Roger Goodell wants the regular season to expand to 17 or 18 games hopefully as early as 2011. In order for this to happen, a new collective bargaining agreement will have to be reached between the owners and the players' union.
“UK men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie has not been fired. There have been no meetings between Gillispie and UK officials today and there is no scheduled press conference for tomorrow”So basically, no one has any clue what's going on. WHAS is still reporting he is fired.

Overtime Thoughts - 3/25
The University of Kentucky Wildcats are out of the NIT after their 77-67 loss tonight to Notre Dame in South Bend. Let the coaching rumors begin! (like it hasn't already) But seriously, it's going to be interesting to see how Barnhart deals with this situation. As far as I see it, I think it's a lose-lose situation for the Cats. No matter what they do, it will look bad.
UCONN allegedly committed major recruiting violations when recruiting former guard Nate Miles. ESPN reports that Miles "was provided with lodging, transportation, restaurant meals and representation between 2006 and 2008 by Josh Nochimson, a former UConn student manager who had become a professional sports agent who once represented ex-Huskies star Richard Hamilton." That will be something to keep an eye on for awhile.
If you missed us last night, we talked about this. Gator Nation loves some Tim Tebow
Lance Armstrong underwent surgery on his collarbone today after crashing in the 2nd stage of a race in northern Spain. The 7-time Tour de France winner is still expected to participate in this years race.
Uh-oh, Mike Vick might be in legal trouble...again.

Overtime Thoughts 3/23
I added a section on the right hand side where you will be able to listen to past broadcasts of The Overtime Show. They're not great quality, but they're the best we can do for now. Hopefully podcasts on iTunes will be soon...I still have to figure that out.
The Kentucky Wildcats were in action today in the 2nd round of the NIT. They played the #1 seed Creighton from the Missouri Valley Conference. UK won 65-63 as they won it with a Jodie Meeks 2-pointer with about 10 seconds left. They will now travel to South Bend to face Notre Dame.
Pat Forde points out in an article on ESPN.com that the tournament has lacked a cinderella this year. It is the first time ever where all the 1, 2, and 3 seeds have made the Sweet Sixteen and only 3 teams still in have not made a Final Four. Of all years, I would have thought this year would a year where upsets would be abundant considering the way the regular season went, but it has been anything but. He also goes on to say that if Arizona, a team with a national title, 4 final fours, and 25 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, is the biggest surprise then something's different.
Curt Schilling retired today. He finished his career with a 216-146 record and a 3.46 ERA. He also is 15th all-time in strikeouts with 3,116. He owns the lowest postseason ERA and winning percentage in the history of ML baseball. He won 3 World Series titles in his career. Schilling is also the subject of our poll tonight.
And in a shocker, Terrell Owens missed a voluntary workout today for his new team, the Buffalo Bills.

Overtime Thoughts 3/22
Alright, Michael and I are back from our trip to Florida for some sun and Spring Training and are ready to roll again.
The Cardinals survived a tough Siena team tonight in a 79-72 win and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in Indianapolis to face the 12th seeded Arizona Wildcats on Friday.
Also, just a thought, Indianapolis isn't too far away. Let's snag up some tickets and turn Lucas Oil Stadium into Freedom Hall North. I just got my tickets on Ticketmaster. You can get all 3 games for as low as $90, which is a steal. You don't have to pay for a hotel cause it's a short trip there and back. Or you can get your tickets through a student lottery which costs $140. Seriously, try to make it there if you can. The Cards will need your support.
Also in the NCAA Tournament today:
#1 Pitt beat #8 Oklahoma State 84-76
#2 Michigan State squeaked by #10 USC 74-69
#3 Missouri got by #6 Marquette 83-79
#3 Kansas killed #11 Dayton 60-43
#3 Syracuse beat Arizona State 78-67
#4 Xavier handled #12 Wisconsin 60-49
#12 Arizona held off #13 Cleveland State 71-57
5 Big East teams have advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, more than any other conference. The Big East is 11-2 so far in the NCAA Tournament.
Tune into ESPN tonight for the semis of the World Baseball Classic between USA and Japan. The winner faces Korea in the championship tomorrow night.
Also, if you were like Michael and I and were extremely displeased with CBS' handling of the switching of games today during the U of L game call 212-975-3247 or email raguanno@cbs.com to complain. I did both.

First off, we would like to thank Howie Lindsey and George Goode for coming on our show tonight. We really appreciate it and it was awesome. Also, a big thanks to all you listeners out there and all your calls and comments.
Your #5 Lady Cards got pummeled tonight by the #1 Lady Huskies 75-36. You know it's not good when All-American Angel McCoughtry leads your team in scoring with just 9 points. With that loss, the Lady Cards will probably get a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Some Big East Tournament games:
DePaul upset Cincinnati 67-57
St. John's got past Georgetown 64-59
Notre Dame advanced against Rutgers 61-50
Seton Hall defeated South Florida 68-54
Around the top 25:
Cleveland State upset #17 Butler to win the Horizon League
Three teams punched their NCAA ticket today with Cleveland State beating Butler to win the Horizon (as said before), Western Kentucky winning the Sun Belt Conference, and North Dakota State won the Summit League.
LaDainian Tomlinson renegotiated his contract today so he will remain a Charger for at least another year.
Jay Cutler is mad at Denver for pursuing Matt Cassell. And it's getting worse.

Overtime Thoughts - 3/6
Your #6 Louisville Cardinals went into Morgantown and got a very nice road win beating the West Virginia Mountaineers 62-59. With the win, the Cards won their first ever Big East Championship and will receive the #1 seed in the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden next week. Here's what the bracket will look like:
The Kentucky Wildcats lost...again. That was the clincher on losing their chances of getting an at-large bid to the NCAA's. Florida beat them 60-53 in Gainesville. Also in UK news, Mitch Barnhart has put an end to the fans' debate if the team would even accept an NIT bid. He said, "We certainly don't want to be perceived as arrogant, but we also don't want to lower the standards of what is expected at Kentucky." UK will accept an NIT bid.
Around the Big East:
#4 Pitt beat #1 UCONN (again) 70-60
#25 Syracuse upset #15 Marquette 86-79 in OT
Seton Hall defeated Cincinnati 67-63
Rutgers beat South Florida 45-42
Georgetown defeated DePaul 48-40
Around the top 25:
#3 Memphis routed Tulane 74-47
#5 Oklahoma edged Oklahoma State 82-78
#9 Kansas beat Texas 83-73
Auburn upset #11 LSU 69-53
Texas A&M upset #12 Missouri 96-86
#13 Washington beat rival Washington State 67-60
#17 UCLA defeated Oregon 94-68
Richmond upset #18 Xavier 80-75
#21 Arizona State crushed California 83-66
#22 Butler edged out Wright State 62-57
Some NCAA tournament tickets have already been punched:
East Tennessee State (Atlantic Sun Champ)
Radford (Big South Champ)
Cornell (Ivy League Champ)
Morehead State (Ohio Valley Champ)
Terrell Owens has signed a 1-year, $6.5 million contract with the Buffalo Bills
Team USA won their World Baseball Classic Opener 6-5 over Canada thanks to home runs by Kevin Youkilis, Brian McCann, and Adam Dunn.
Florida State got in trouble, and not just in football.
It was so nice outside that your Louisville baseball team decided to play twice. They won both games defeating Wisconsin-Milwaukee 8-7 and Eastern Illinois 10-6 to go to 8-4 on the season.
And a side note...my favorite ESPN analyst Doug Gottlieb (said with sarcasm) just said something on the lines of that Louisville can not get a one seed no matter what because all of their big games were at home. Afterwards, Joe Lunardi currently has Lousville as a #1 seed.

Overtime Thoughts - 3/5 *Gift Card Giveaway*
Louisville travels to West Virginia tomorrow night. Gametime is 9 PM, and ESPN College Gameday will be in Morgantown. If Louisville wins and UCONN beats Pitt, they will split the Big East Championship. If Louisville wins and Pitt beats UCONN, Louisville will be the outright champ. If Louisville loses and Pitt wins, Pitt, Louisville, and UCONN will split the Big East title. If UCONN beats Pitt and Louisville loses, UCONN will win the outright championship. So, everyone's eyes should be on that Pitt/UCONN game at 12 noon. Guess the score to the Louisville/WVU game to win a free Lunch Pail gift card! Post your scores in the comments!
Kentucky plays @ Florida tomorrow at 2 PM on CBS. If UK wins, it will definitely help. Maybe not enought, but it will help. If they lose, then there is no doubt they will have to win the SEC Championship.
One game from the Big East tonight:
Notre Dame defeated St. John's 74-55
ESPN's Bracketology came out today. Louisville is a 2-seed. Kentucky is the 2nd team out.
A-Rod's doctors say that it is possible for him to play through his torn labrum this season without surgery.

Ok, I can't speak for Michael, but storming the court after beating the #23 team in the country is stupid. That's what Penn State did tonight. I could see maybe if Penn State was a team that was 7-24 or something, but they're 21-9. I just had a huge phone argument with a buddy of mine who was at the game trying to defend the students. He argued that it's not a basketball school and that the win basically clinched a NCAA Tournament bid, which is true. I still don't think that warrants a court-storming. Vote in our poll on your thoughts on if Penn State students were right to storm the court.

And as mentiioned before, Penn State beat #23 Illinois 64-63
Alex Rodriguez tore his labrum and has a cyst in his right hip. No decision yet on if he will undergo surgery.
In NCAA news, Alabama may have gotten themselves into quite a pickle after admitting to NCAA rules violations that student-athletes received free textbooks and supplies in 2006-2007. Alabama was placed on probation in 2002. If this is considered a repeat offense, they could face tougher sanctions.

Overtime Thoughts - 3/4
Louisville's seniors (and Earl Clark) made sure they were sent off with a bang tonight and made sure the Cards were still in the running for a Big East Championship in a 95-78 win over Seton Hall. Earl Clark went off for a double-double with 27 points and 14 rebounds. Terrence Williams was two assists shy of a triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists. Senior Andre McGee added 11 points and freshman Terrence Jennings added 14 points off the bench. The Cards are now tied with UCONN at 15-2 in the Big East heading into Morgantown on Saturday night.
Kentucky could have played itself off the bubble tonight, and not in the good way. They picked a bad time to have their worst loss of the season as they lost to a 205th ranked Georgia team at home that had only two conference wins 90-85. It's going to start getting really interesting from here until Selection Sunday to see how this UK team will be handled. In our opinion, the Cats now have to win the SEC Tournament to be safe. Vote in our poll about the Cats tournament chances and post your comments below.

Some scores from around the Big East:
#25 Syracuse pounded Rutgers 70-40
South Florida upset Cincinnati and probably shattered the Bearcats' at-large hopes in a 70-59 win.
St. John's also pulled off a huge upset to knock Georgetown back off the bubble 59-56 in OT
Around the top 25:
#7 Duke squeaked one out over #24 Florida State 84-81

Overtime Thoughts - 3/2
There was only one game of note tonight in college basketball and that was #16 Villanova's 77-60 win over Notre Dame. I'm pretty sure that officially knocks Notre Dame off of the bubble.
Your #8 Louisville women's basketball team played the final game of their season tonight and won their school record-tying 27th game of the year in a 66-61 win at Marquette. Angel McCoughtry notched a double-double with 25 points and 14 rebounds.
Louisville first baseman Andrew Clark was named Big East Player of the Week last week. He batted .375 with 2 HR and 7 RBI and helped lead the Cardinals to a perfect 4-0 week.
Wide Reciever T.J. Houshmandzadeh signed a 5-year deal worth over $40 million with the Seattle Seahawks.
To go back to college basketball, this weeks rankings are out. Louisville is still #6 in both polls.
Also, not really a surprise, but Earl Clark IS going to the NBA after this year and will partake in Senior Night festivities in Wednesday's game. Vote on our poll on whether you think he should be able to do that or not.

Overtime thoughts from the weekend
First off I would like to apologize that we haven't posted all weekend. Jim and I were in Pittsburgh and were not able to post.
A lot happened in the world of sports this weekend worth talking about. First on the local side of things the Cards and the Cats played important games. The Cards came out victorious, while the Cats continue their slide.
Number 6 ranked Louisville defeated the #10 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles 62-58 yesterday in front of over 20,000 people in Freedom Hall. The Kentucky Wildcats fell on Saturday to the #18 LSU Tigers by a score of 73-70.
In the latest bracketology Lunardi has the Cards still at that number 2 seed, while he has the Cats barely hanging on as a 10 seed. I think all of this March Madness talk and seeding will be a great topic on the show tomorrow night.
On the national side of things, baseball is back in full swing(no pun intended) with spring training now underway. Also Shaq is apparently back and Tiger loses in the second round of the match play tournament. A lot more to get to but hear were some cliff notes from the weekend.
There will be another post at the end of the night tonight from todays events and other things we may have forgotten. We have an action packed show for you all tomorrow night at 9pm. Make sure you tune in.
We would like to hear your thoughts on the UofL and UK games from this weekend.

Listen to past shows!
February 24th:
This is our premiere show! It's not in the best quality and the end is a little messed up, but it'll do.
March 3rd:
You miss a little bit of the beginning, but it's better quality.
March 10th:
This is an awesome show. We had Howie Lindsey on from the Louisville Sports Report and Louisville big man George Goode stopped by for a few words as well. It's only the first 90 minutes or so of the show. But it's something.
