I actually don’t go back that far , but I’m close , I was 6 in 1972 , but I recall a lot of the 78 season when I was 12 ..great memories of BBN
They actually spoke to Jim Andrews on the pregame show last week. He had some funny stories to tell.
Remember the 78 team as a kid but that's as far back as I can recall. I want that jacket Andrews has on!
Big Jim Andrews also known as 'dirty Jim'
He never showered on game days!! lol. Good player.

My dad used to play against Larry Stamper in some rec leagues. When I was a teenager, Larry was in Morehead with some other former Cats playing and being seen. I went with my dad, after the event, dad went up to Larry and introduced himself, Larry remembered him well. Seemed like such a nice man
Unless you're 6'11" that jacket's not going to fit you.
Jim Andrews, probably the most underrated big man to ever play here
Larry Stamper, one of the roughest, toughest most physical players to ever play here
Jerry Hale, a member of our 71-72 undefeated freshman team that went 22-0 & was named by either Basketball Times or Basketball Weekly as the Freshman national champions.
6'. Not THAT jacket, obviously, but one like it. I like that style. Reminds me of the ones I had as a kid. I like the retro stuff.
Was 15 in 72 so yeah, I remember the team. Was born in 1957 and was following UK as early as I can remember. My mother made sure of that. She was a die-hard UK fan.
Cool photo OP.
I was 10 when these guys played for UK, and they're the first that I remember as I began really following the Big Blue. Ronnie ;Lyons was my favorites player at that time.
I was 15 when UK won it all in '78, and that entire year, already epic, reached pure bliss. After all these years I still have the scrapbook I made from the start of the year until the championship.

I was at UK for the '78 championship, so I guess that makes me old...even though I don't act like it!
