It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, jackass, it’s not Christmas. It’s MARCH MADNESS! That’s right, weeks of a never ending loop of college basketball games, where young men leaves their hearts on the floor in an epic battle where the stakes are high and upsets are the norm. Can’t you feel the electrical charge on the air?!
By sheer luck, and what some may even call birthright, I was brought up as a loud and proud member of Big Blue Nation (or a fan of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, for those not in the know). Despite the fact that I was born and raised across the river in Cincinnati, Ohio, my mom is a full-fledged Kentuckian and a staunch fan of the Blue Grass State’s (and some may even say the nation’s) most prolific college team (suck on that, Louisville).
Because of these reasons, and so many more, this week’s Thirsty Thursday is dedicated to the talented, UNDEFEATED (seriously, they’re 34-0) University of Kentucky Wildcats!
5. Tod Lanter
Lanter isn’t really setting the court on fire, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t talented! It’s just hard to shine in an organization that has what people call, “the two best teams in the country.” Doesn’t take away from that adorable face, though. That mischievous smirk could cause all kinds of trouble for an unwitting woman.
4. Aaron Harrison
Know what else UK has that is somewhat unique? A set of all-star twins. For whatever reason, I find myself a bit more enamored with Aaron’s brother, Andrew (up next), but there’s no denying that each Harrison twin has their own bit of something special! The fact that they’re badasses on the court only makes them hotter.
3. Andrew Harrison
Maybe it’s that smoldering stare he’s throwing in that photo, but Andrew Harrison just has IT. And even though his brother’s stats are just a wee bit better, they make one helluva team on and off the court. Typically one will be on fire, while the other struggles; but the roles typically reverse at some point. Twin thing? Definitely.
2. Alex Poythress
Alex is a commanding force on the court. When he’s out there, you know good things are going to happen. He also looks REALLY good nearly palming a basketball engulfed in blue fire. Bonus points!
1. Karl-Anthony Towns
Have you ever seen a sexier magazine cover? And I don’t just mean a sports magazine cover, just in general. I mean hot dude, representing a smoking-hot team posing as my favorite super hero? It literally gets no better than that, as far as I am concerned. Look at those lips. You know what Towns is? #Trouble.
