UK hung a banner in honor of that team and that Senior class, but none of those players had their jerseys/numbers retired individually. For the record, many UK fans at the time (and even more now) disagreed with that banner being hung in the first place. It was Pitino's idea at the time, and a poor one, IMO. The process for retiring great UK players jerseys' has been screwed up ever since. I think Pitino just felt the need to hang a banner, since we hadn't hung one since the '84 Final Four.

Don't feel bad. They also mocked Vanderbilt for giving their basketball team their SEC Championship rings before the Vandy-UK baseball game.

Indeed, sometimes the comments from people regarding other programs just cracks me up. IU is just giving fans what they want with this display. Why does anyone really care about this?
Speaking of recruiting, I saw Crean on the athletics department's tricked out golf cart last week, driving a couple recruits down Kirkwood. It was pretty funny and I remember thinking, "Is that Crean? Oh, it has to be. Look at that haircut."

Couldn't tell- when a couple basketball prospects are packed in the rear seat of a golf cart all you can really see are knees.

Amen.

Bummed that the IU/Kentucky games will cease next season. It's been such a great tradition. Now, I don't know if it's true or not, but according to Mike Wilbon, he believes this was Kentucky's decision and he also said he believed Cal was afraid of playing IU next year because they are supposed to be such a great team.

Both schools are blaming the other right now. They are in Spin mode. Doesn't matter either way, bottom line is they aren't playing each other next season. I'm not all that bothered by it to be honest.

I personally think it stinks. It's a longstanding tradition and 1 I enjoyed.

Not a youngin'. I'd prefer they play but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
