So.........How long before BBN runs Keion out of town....

Central Bank purchased the naming rights to the Lexington Center adjacent to Rupp Arena back in January, officially changing the name of Kentucky basketball’s home to “Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center.”

“What this does is allow us to be a steward of this incredible overarching facility,” Barnhart said of the deal. “It allows us to be a steward of the Rupp name. It allows us to move forward in a way that keeps it iconic and keeps it at the front and center of all of the facilities and on the lips of all of the people that love college basketball. It allows us to be great stewards of an incredible, incredible place and move it forward. You’ve seen the construction that’s going on and what’s happening in this incredible facility and it’s only going to get better. We have won a bunch of basketball games in there and I’m looking forward to winning a lot more as well.

“The name is tied to Coach Rupp and the Rupp family is so important for us, to protect that name and to make sure it is always remembered as the iconic place, family, name, leader of college basketball. Thank you for that. We intend to preserve that forever.”

Rupp made UK a basketball institution. His name deserves to stay where it is. Love me some Keion, just a young idealist looking to make a change. He is injured and not practicing. Probably won't play the remainder of this year. He's going to fall behind and there's damn good talent coming in and showing it. He may have trouble getting the minutes he got last year, plus with the shortened season.
