Antoine Walker was unstoppable that season. But Epps was the glue that held it all together. They were such a fun team to watch.

In 97 Pitino tried to full court press South Carolina who had 3 future nba guards and got our asses handed to us. He tried to do the same in the 97 finals against 3 future nba guards from Arizona and got a second ass for the other hand. A tight 2-3 zone would have won another title but Pitino wouldn’t adjust and lost.

Realizing that this team's underclassmen went to the next 2 National Championships winning again in 98 and losing one in OT 97 makes a good argument for THE BEST EVER. Plus, they only lost 2 games that season ,UMASS and MS ST , both being Final 4 teams that year. . Uk got revenge on Umass in the Final 4 and they had beat Ms st by 30 on their home floor during the season .

Nothing fake about Mchigan's Fab Five. They were 5 starting freshman. All top 25 3 of which top 10 players. & that 48 BS never had to endure half of what the Michigan team did. Racism coming at them from every angle. & they still manage to make the championship twice. Nor did that 48 team impact basketball as a whole. From baggy shorts & black socks which every league adopted. Also made history in Jersey sales for a season. Did 48 do any of that? Didn't think so.

Great time to be a fan, not only of UK but college basketball in general. The game has changed so much. Not only the introduction of the 3 point line in college several years later, but the way the game was refereed. So much tighter were the calls and less physical play allowed. Also, the hand had to be on top of the ball.. Great rivalry indeed!!
