Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - The top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats will continue their season-long eight-game homestand on Wednesday night when they welcome the Columbia Lions to Rupp Arena for non-conference action. Columbia has gotten its season off to a strong start with wins in five of its first seven games. The Lions recently wrapped up a four-game homestand at 3-1, which included their most impressive showing of the season on Saturday in a 61-39 romp of Bucknell. Kentucky is the nations unanimous No. 1 team and has won each of its first nine games by double-digit margins, most notably asserting its dominance over fellow top-10 teams Kansas (72-40) and Texas (63-51). The Wildcats made easy work of Eastern Kentucky on Sunday, 82-49. The programs met just once before way back in 1948, with Kentucky claiming a 76-53 decision. Although the Lions held just a six-point halftime lead in their most recent contest, they pulled away from Bucknell in the second stanza and eventually settled in on a 23-point victory. They shot 44.9 percent from the field in the victory, including 10-of-22 from 3-point range, while holding Bucknell to a mere 28.3 percent shooting and two long-range buckets. Maodo Lo was the spark plug with 20 points on 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. Cory Osetkowski was also impressive, stuffing the stat sheet with 12 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks. On the season, Columbia shows very little explosion offensively, as it shoots 41.3 percent from the field for only 59.0 ppg, but luckily it is able to make up for it with an outstanding effort on the other end of the floor in allowing a mere 50.0 ppg on 37 percent shooting. Lo is the unquestioned go-to scoring option with 16.1 ppg on 16-of-46 from 3-point range, and hes also a great defender with 2.7 steals per game. Osetkowski is a dependable presence in the paint with 8.9 ppg and 8.1 rpg, but he shoots less than 40 percent from the field. The Wildcats have barely broken a sweat this season, and their contest with EKU earlier in the week was no different. They outshot their opponent from the field in the 33-point triumph, 56.9 percent to 26.1 percent, and dominated the rebounding battle, 48-28. Karl-Anthony Towns was 8-of-9 from the field for 19 points to go with nine rebounds and four blocks. Trey Lyles came off the bench to log a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Willie Cauley- Stein and Marcus Lee netted 11 and 10 points, respectively. Kentucky has established itself as the best team in the country thanks mostly to a suffocating defense, as it ranks as the nations best both in terms of scoring (45.8 ppg) and field goal percentage defense (.279). The squad can also put points on the board at will with 77.6 ppg on 47.7 percent shooting, and it boasts outstanding margins in terms of rebounding (+12.3) and turnovers (+6.2). Only Cauley-Stein (10.3 ppg, 6.6 rpg) and Dakari Johnson (10.0 ppg, 6.7 rpg) score in double figures, but the Wildcats have an incredibly deep roster, with seven players scoring 7.7 ppg or more and nine at least 5.0 ppg. Towns (9.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 2.8 bpg) is off to a great start as a freshman, and Aaron Harrisons point total (9.3 ppg) will go up once he corrects his shooting woes (.344).

A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Sharper in sexual assaults allegedly committed on Nov. 21 in Tempe. The four-page indictment dated Tuesday accuses the 38-year-old Sharper of two counts of sexual assault and three counts of administering dangerous drugs. Sharper knowingly administered the sedative zolpidem to three different victims and then had "sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact" with two of them without their consent, the document states. Sharper is currently in custody in Los Angeles, where he has pleaded not guilty to seven rape and drug counts in connection with two alleged attacks in Hollywood. He had been freed on $1 million bail before turning himself in when an arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans. In Arizona, police reports released earlier say two women in their early 20s had claimed Sharper drugged and sexually assaulted them at a Tempe apartment after a group including Sharper went drinking at bars in nearby Scottsdale. One of the women told police she hadnt had any alcohol that night until Sharper insisted she drink a shot. Another young woman said she had been drugged then went to bed, locked her door and wasnt attacked. The next day, one of the women confronted Sharper, who denied wrongdoing, according to the reports. The reports said Sharper was in Arizona to visit a woman who lived at the apartment. The two had met about a year earlier in Las Vegas. Skip Donau, a Tucson attorney who represents Sharper in the Arizona case, declined to discuss specifics.dddddddddddd "We know that Darren will vigorously deny the allegations," Donau said. "We are hopeful of vindication." In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Renee Korn said last week that it was unfair to hold Sharper in jail there "into perpetuity" and gave prosecutors in Louisiana until Thursday to charge him or otherwise seek his return. Prosecutors in New Orleans said Wednesday that Sharper would not be indicted by that deadline and the investigation remained open. It could not be immediately determined if Arizona authorities would ask that Sharper be held longer in Los Angeles or would seek his extradition. Jerry Cobb, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorneys Office, declined to comment. Sharper is also under investigation in Florida and Nevada. In a bail motion filed last month, Los Angeles County Investigator John Maccharella described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped. The New Orleans warrant says police learned from witnesses that Sharper and an associate had acknowledged having nonconsensual sex with two women. Sharpers attorneys say he never made such statements. The warrant does not elaborate on how the information was obtained or disclose the names of the witnesses. Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and was part of a successful championship run while with the New Orleans Saints. He retired after the 2010 season and was working as an analyst for the NFL Network before being fired recently. ' ' '
