This Kentucky basketball season remains a difficult one to watch, but there’s rarely a dull moment when it comes to following the UK program.

After a brief respite from losing basketball — and the emergence of in-state star Dontaie Allen — UK has lost back-to-back games to Alabama and Auburn. The Cats’ offense is often non-existent. Coach John Calipari has said some puzzling things in his postgame press conferences. Kentucky’s supposed stars continue to struggle. The NCAA Tournament looks like it could be a long shot.

Meanwhile, the Cats landed a massive transfer — former West Virginia star Oscar Tshiebwe — and remain in the process of building their roster for next season and beyond.

So, there’s plenty to talk about.

Send any questions you have about the Cats — the current team, the recruiting outlook, the future of the program, or anything else — to Herald-Leader sports writer Ben Roberts, and we’ll answer them online and in the newspaper in the coming days. Email your questions to broberts@herald-leader or send them to Ben on Twitter (via either tweet or direct message).
