And you will hear what we heard all those years. Simply the best.
Listen to Cawood Ledford call the UK vs IU game 1979

There will never be another Cawood. He was so good that he called the Final Four and Natty games for the radio broadcasts. His logo on Rupp's floor is too small.
That 42 for Indiana really had a head on his shoulders. He'll make a great college basketball coach some day. What was his name again?

I still remember listening Cawood on my transistor radio as a kid. Had nerf hoop on my bedroom door acting out every UK play. There will be another like him.
Nerf Hoop in our den taped and wired to the paneling. Got up and played during the time outs. Those were the days
Wonder who Minniefield was going after at the end of game there? Chased down Indiana players heading to the locker room!
Cawood didn't event need a color guy. He just did it all.
I was watching that game thinking, "why hasn't the shot clock run out yet?"

More than likely it was Isaiah Thomas who was not in the game when it ended. They were both friends and competitors from the high school summer circuit in the late 70's. Both were high school AA's from the great class of 1979 and played against each other in all but two all star games. The Derby Classic was played twice that year. Once in Freedom Hall where it always ways, and a second time in Rupp Arena. KY-IN All-stars vs. the USA All stars.
That is Bowie as a freshman, prior to injury. Indiana didn't shake hands after the 1975 game I linked below either.
That series was awesome for a time
Probably as good as any rival UK ever had
We always played them early in the season as I remember and it was almost always a war
