I remember right after the brackets were picked before a single game was played in this tournament, Dean Smith stated on the panel discussion: "There are 5 number one seeds in this tournament. Kentucky is a #1 seed."
Yep - he was a class act all the way. Great representative of the sport. We kept knocking him out of the tournament year after year...I remember a report where he was asked why he never made it to the Final Four (prior to 1998) and he said "You quit putting us in the same bracket as Kentucky we can make it the Final Four!"
There was a One Shining Moment for this tournament, it came after the credits were rolled. I am wondering where it is for this tournament. The highlights from this tournament were great.
VERY cool video. Hadn't seen it with the celebration at Euclid in the corner of the screen. What memories, that was my freshman year at UK!! Wow. Whoever posted this- You wouldn't happen to also have the celebration at Rupp when the team returned would you?
The Comeback Cats...(sighs) those were the good old days. I don't care what anybody says,I don't give Rick(Benedict Arnold) credit, he wasn't there with us that night, I bet he didn't even congratuleted us.
