Kentucky Basketball

Since birth I have been a Kentucky basketball fan. My dad has been a huge UK fan my entire life and most of his. I was never forced to like UK, but naturally I gravitated towards them. UK has experienced some great basketball moments in my lifetime. The Unforgettables and Final Four in 92. A National Championship in 96. Another championship in 98. Number one ranking in 2002-03, and an elite eight apperance in 03. Since I've been old enough to understand and comprehend the college game well, UK hasn't been real hot. They even fell into the NIT last year. But that has all changed this year. Finally, a team to get excited about. With veteran talent like Patrick Patterson and Darius Miller to freshman sensations John Wall, Demarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe Uk fans are sure to not be disappointed. Oh, and a coach by the name of John Calapari. With a number 1 ranking and a 20-1 start, this is the happiest I've ever been about Kentucky basketball.
