Maybe it?s because I was on campus during a window of shitty basketball (91-92 season thru the first half of the 94-95 seasons) and only saw 1 good team, I don?t have some overblown feeling of nostalgia for it.
People need to get a grip on our history. 9 trips to the NCAA in 55 years is not a basketball school. It just isn?t. So when we are good I enjoy it. When we suck, it really doesn?t surprise me.
During the Williams-Stansbury regime we were as close as it gets to a basketball school in the SEC outside of the border school at Lexington. We had been there once before under the Babe. The failure to recognize that UK dominance and our own station relative to it is what lead to our sorry state now. We were close for a while, twice. We cut our own throats by getting ahead of the game in our minds.
