LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky women's basketball senior guard A'dia Mathies has been named to another midseason watch list as she is one of 30 finalists for the 2013 Naismith Women's College Player of the Year selected by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors. The list is comprised of the nation's top players based on criteria of performance during this year's college basketball season. Mathies is one of three players from the Southeastern Conference on the list, including Tennessee junior guard Meighan Simmons and Texas A&M junior center Kelsey Bone.

Kentucky should be able to finally release its men's basketball schedule in the next few days, and apparently the announcement will come in a special show on WKYT-TV. The Kentucky schedule has been set for some time, but the Wildcats could not release it because of a Southeastern Conference rule that requires schedules for all teams to be completed before individual schools can release their schedules. But with ESPN announcing Monday its list of Super Tuesday games, that should signal that schedules will be released in the next few days.
