I have been fortunate enough to be able to witness UK in the Final Four eight times in my life. Here are some of my thoughts and remembrances of those eight times.1975 came within a whisker of seeing Kentucky and Louisville play for a national championship. UK came riding high into the semi final after upsetting an undefeated Indiana team. They played Syracuse in San Diego California. This was pre Jim Boeheim. Roy Danforth was their coach and left Syracuse soon after, to of all places, Tulane. UK ...
UK and IU will play in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in history. After UK had won their game against Iowa State I realized I had seen the other three contests on TV in the past. Each had its own special little memory attached to it and help galvanize me as a UK basketball fan. They had faced each other in 1973, 1975 and 1983.
