Mark Dec. 28 as the day where anyone who is a college basketball fan will be paying attention to the Bluegrass. Sources have confirmed that's the date for the Kentucky-Louisville game in Rupp Arena. Kentucky won the national championship in 2012 and Louisville won this year. With the return of veteran guard Russ Smith and a talented recruiting class, Louisville should go into the season as a top five team. With the return of Alex Poythress, Willie-Cauley Stein and Kyle Wiltjer to go with six McDonald's All-Americans and two-in state recruits, Kentucky seems set to go into the season ranked No. 1 despite playing in the NIT and losing to Robert Morris to end last season.

To the editor, After listening to the discussion I was convinced by the remarks of our publicly elected officials and other agency leaders the I-75 connector project is a waste of taxpayer money. No one in the audience believed their remarks and arrived at the opinion they only want to “expand the tax base as rapidly as possible.” A much better use of the funds in my opinion: • Complete the Eastern bypass. This is needed to relieve congestion on main street in Nicholasville and expedite traffic south on 27. This benefits Nicholasville and workers that travel to and from Lexington and Nicholasville • Make U.S. 27 six lanes, Lexington to Nicholasville.
