According to a statement from University of Kentucky athletics, Keightley died from internal bleeding caused by a previously undiagnosed tumor on his spine. Friends said he was part of a group that traveled to Cincinnati Monday to watch the Reds’ game against Arizona, and he fell as he got off a bus at the stadium. His family and members of the UK coaching staff were with him when he died.

When Patrick Patterson hobbled in on crutches Friday, his University of Kentucky teammates thought (hoped? prayed?) he was joking. He wasn't: An X-ray had revealed a stress fracture in his left ankle. UK’s star freshman will not play again this season.

Perhaps inspired by the Academy Awards show last weekend, Kentucky Coach Billy Gillispie turned thespian Wednesday night. UK’s 58-54 victory over Mississippi served as his muse.
