***** ,,, I've been following you for quite a while man and you've always done excellent work but as of late you have really stepped your game up. You really capture the spirit of what Kentucky basketball means to the fans and I appreciate the effort you put in doing so. Keep up the good work man,,, from a proud follower. BBN baby.

This run was seriously unlike anything I've been a part of as a fan. I thought the 2011 Final Four run was special, and this obliterated that. The drama, the stakes, the unlikely heroes, the absolutely classic moments that just kept coming... never going to forget this one. About as close to pure joy as I have come as a Kentucky fan.

I still get chills. I've been a fan since 1987 and I've never seen a tournament run like that. The unexpected joy and elation of close games is much better than the pressure of trying to not lose when you're expected to win (a la 1996 and 2012). I get on here and start to read the comments and I see this Marshall Baker guy as the top comment on here. Well, I just can't have that so I'm gonna get a little cheesy. I was born in Cincinnati, grew up in Northern Kentucky and later Lexington. Every state has it's own charm and I saw some others (left Kentucky for 12 years and lived in 5 other states). But I've been back for the last 8 years and I've fallen in love with my home all over again. Everywhere from Louisville to Northern KY to the plains and farms of Western Kentucky, Bowling Green and Owensboro. The amazingly haunting beauty of our Red River Gorge, Pine Mountain, Morehead, Cave Run Lake, Hazard, Pikeville, Ashland. The mystique of Mammoth Cave, Land Between the Lakes, Danville, Somerset and Lake Cumberland. Finally, there's the jewel of all awkwardly large college towns--that is Lexington. Home to the Wildcats. My home too. Lexington is thriving right now and while only a portion of the city may know what I'm alluding to, the one thing that unifies us all is the University of Kentucky and it's basketball team. The team that we're watching this year is truly something special that, if we do what we're capable of, will be remembered forever. We could add something unmatchable to our already unmatched history. Our state has stigmas and stereotypes. Many of them are not good. The north thinks we're southern, the south thinks we're northern. The Midwest refuses to claim us. But you know what? I don't care. We are unique. We are uncategorized. We are Kentucky. We are the greatest tradition, in the history of college basketball. Go Big Blue. Forever.

It’s fitting that this video is back in 2020 when our young team is struggling and needs a tweak.

Man, watching this in 2024 hits hard. The fight, not backing down, just everything about that run was so special at the time and even more so 10 years later.

Fabulous job! UK fans you need to relive this!

I love it. Of all the Kentucky teams this may just be my favorite. No, they didn't win the title, but still showed off an amazing amount of grit and determination. I know some will disagree with me, but it will be a tough argument.

This is the reason why I love basketball

Toughesr bracket of all time For 8th seed and they showed up. 😧😧😫😫😢😢😖😖

I still come to this video as a fan of Coach Cal! The way he coached this team and turned them around and took THIS team to the title game! A true testament to Coach’s ability!

2022 here and this team still gives me a smile. Great video

I haven't watched UK basketball for long but since Cal arrived this is the BEST run in the tourney i have seen! This run was special with the unforgettable moments, excitement, and craziness. I will be telling my grandkids about this someday

seriously a great video man. ive honestly watched this like 10 times. you did a perfect job with the music and sequences you put in there... it was a season we'll never forget!

Great video! Gives me goosebumps! One of the best runs EVER!!!!!!!!! in March Madness and falling one game short After losing WCS, nothing to hang our heads about! 280 plus other schools were home watching! A season I will never forget, now we just need to finish it this year! Go Cats! BBN!

Dude, you nailed it! From the valleys low to the mountains high. Great job!

We put down some damn good teams in the tourney. That was one helluva run. GO BIG BLUE!

GOSH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO

I watched this with a friend who I sadly lost in 2018. Makes me tear up seeing this and remembering those great times

This is quite possibly the best video you've ever made and that's saying a lot! Thank you for making and sharing this! Go Big Blue!!!

This gives me cold chills every time I watch it

from one BBN fan to another this has to be the best mixtape out there, I think I've watched this 50+ times(actually). Great job on this video

5 years later still wondering what the tweak was.. confidence is the only thing I can come to thinking.

I hope you still read these comments, because you should know that this video still gives me chills! Unbelievable work!

love it... frog in throat ,goosebumps, emotional...cant wait till the ride begins again in August.#BBN4LIFE

as a kentucky fan, i am blessed for these kind of moments. i have respect for every other team but i think kentucky has the best stories. through ups and downs, were ready to go through it. and for proof, we have 8 championships,17 final fours, and let not forget about the great coaches, rupp, hall, and mostly.. calipari. and of course the stars, kat, davis, booker, cousins, and someone who im going to think is a future all-star.. mailk monk.

Great year Kentucky. This is coming from an Arkansas fan, you had one of the best comebacks i have seen. I hope next year Kentucky and Arkansas are both strong. #lovetherivalry

i comeback to this all the time. Very thankful you made this an posted because it gives me so much faith we can make tourney runs.

Epic, as always man. Fantastic job on one of the most memorable, albeit finally heartbreaking, seasons I've experienced in my 31 years as a Cats fan

this is probably one of the greatest basketball videos ever!

Wow this was one of the greatest tournament runs ever. Besides the championship team, this might be my favorite UK team in the Calipari era. It was just such a great journey with this team.

i could watch this over and over

That was pretty awesome and emotional. Great to relive those moments. Nice job editing.

Such a great run. So proud of that team. So happy to be a fan. Even if we lost. Losing was the theme of that season. But we fought, hard. Aaron Harrison became my favorite player during that run. Last night against ND I kept saying give it to Aaron. He's got ice coursing in his veins. He was built for that moment, and isn't afraid to miss. Showed us once again last night. I believe hell make millions off of that clutch gene of his one day. What a tradition, man. So grateful that I was born a UK fan. Even if we lose, and experience a heartbreaker. We can always look forward to next year. Even if Cal leaves, we will still pull a great coach. Wildcat Basketball never stops. Best time of the year baby. On to Wiscy.

As a UConn fan, I have to say that Kentucky's run and UConn's run were both pretty impressive. And to whoever says that Kentucky lost to Florida 3 times last year, think about this: at the end of the season, Kentucky was in the National Championship and Florida wasn't. UConn beat Florida twice, once on a buzzer beater, and the other in the Final Four by 10, Kentucky only lost by 6, which was a closer game than Florida's. Now Kentucky please do me a favor and get Drake off the bandwagon. Thanks :)

Regardless of how the season ended last year it was truly a great story to watch unfold

Easily the most fun I've ever had watching March Madness as a lifelong Kentucky fan. Amazing.

Gotta give it to you man one of the greatest videos on KZfaq

This site greatest video iv ever watched on Kentucky on KZfaq. Please make more of these!!!

Awesome Video !!! Can't wait for this season to start

This was so awesome!! I got goosebumps watching it!!!!

funny how we lost in the finals but it was the greatest tourney experience for a long time for me, better than our davis team's, maybe better than comeback cats (though the duke revenge was nice).....i was scheduled to work during the michigan game and i payed $100 to another employee to work for me......living in missouri everyone thought i was crazy....i may be, but i was not going to miss any tourney game with uk doing what they were doing.

To whoever made this, thank you.

Great job once again!

Masterpiece!

Awesome video thanks for sharing it!!

forever gonna be my favorite kentucky team and season!!!

Awesome!! Great memories!

So many feels...

4:10 “The defending champs are out” most incorrect sentence I’ve heard in my life

this is one awesome video man! great job

This is so cool. As my son pointed out we will probably never see something like this again. Like Jimmy V said "don't give up. Don't ever give up".

Go big blue! This was a great team in kentuck history. One my favorite uk teams of all time. I've seen alot uk teams ive been one there biggest fans I'm 53 been watching cats senss the 74-75 team i remember sitting at dinner table listening to cawood ledford the voice of the kentucky wildcats, many cold winter nights with my dad cawood was the best play by play man I've ever listen to. His game call had u riveted to edge of your seat, made u feel like u was sitting court side.

UKCats8fan once again brings it !!

Incredible work... very nice job on this!

Will never forget this special season.

who else coming back to this hoping it will repeat…?

Knocked it of the park and then some. Absolutely loved it!!!

Even though, Duke won the Championship, it's 100% clear Kentucky was the best team in the country. No doubt.

Damn dude, that was awesome.

Amazing video. Well done

this video was too good, man.

You did it again!! This is an awesome video!! I'm so glad that we have you on our side! haha Seriously though, just awesome!

I'll admit. I was very sour when Kentucky beat at the time my favorite basketball team, Michigan. But watching them in the last two games, and seeing the passion after watching highlights of the games before, made me a UK fan. And looking at that Elite Eight game again, I'm glad they beat Michigan.

great video man

Man I love your videos, can't wait for the next one this year when kentucky wins the championship

I'm not even a Kentucky fan and this was cool for some reason I was rooting for them because of there clutch moments and Aaron Harrison's two shots in elite 8 and final 4 were amazing

This is the best story ever!

great video!

Awesome video

Kentucky. Family no matter what

I was blessed enough to watch the UofL game and Michigan game in person......and yes I bought both tickets at the same time because I knew I would return for the next game!!!!!!!! BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wish people would make more of these videos. Kinda like season reviews. Havent had one since the Shai season

so close to being a movie.

Cryed watching this

Kentucky keep on doing what you are doing

Still hurts too this day but loved that team

Great job

Incredible video and story! #BBN

I am the biggest uk fan this is an awsome vid

The Tweak=Randle became a monster and the rest became confident, bittersweet ending but a fun run for us fans. Go Big Blue ✌️💙

this is the best video on youtube

One short, boys. One short. I guess it's the "second greatest story ever told."

I miss the good days

I love kentucky

I’ve watched this video at least 20 times

Great video! The team vastly underachieved during the season, but reached their full potential when it mattered. Too bad it didn't include a trophy instead of just a runner-up banner. That has been the best any UK has performed in the postseason in 8 years. I hope that streak ends after the 2023 tournament!

UConn won with grit and a good old-fashioned chip on the shoulder. Kentucky had pure talent, a fighting spirit, and some clutch shots by the twins.

My favorite team was the team with john wall until this team i live in lexington and i was truly in love with what they did

Great video....seriously great. Just like UK

my favorite Kentucky team ever

11-0 Record so far this season, proud to be a Wildcat. #bigbluenation

Let’s run it back like 2014 this year, and this time, win the whole thing! Go big blue!!

Every time i see this video about them looseing i cry every time even when i was little when i saw them loose i was so hart broken

Shit man the chills are unbelievable...never have i

I can't wait for the 14-15 video

It's over this year already. Give K the title now. I'm dead serious. Everyone's coming back more experienced, stronger, faster, just plain better. And the new freshmen are good too. The back up point guard Tyler Ulis could start anywhere in the country and he's the backup at UK. It's gonna look like 2011 again with Anthony Davis I"m telling you. I can't wait they're gonna be a problem

John is one of the greatest coaches of all time

So proud of my home team. Let's do it this year!! #BBN

Wish so bad these guys could've won it that year...they worked so damn hard

There is no bigger more enthusiastic fanboi than the 28 year old white guy from the hills of kentucky
