I nominate Jamal Magliore. His attitude that “The post is MINE, enter at risk of life and limb” would have been the perfect antidote for UT’s rebounding dominance.
Pick one player from UK history you’d loved to have thrown on the court last night
- Thread starter Myotis
- Start date
Walker Horn. At the very end, up 30.

Good choice. I’ve just always had a warm spot in my heart for Magliore ever since he almost snapped Wojo in half.
What’s he doing to Wojo??
Mashburn is the answer for any scenario.
He could get rebounds. He would nail it from three. He would go into lane and be unstoppable. He would take over when things were bogging down.

I don’t think this is funny. He almost killed Wojo.
bingo, oscar would have been great on this team, we couldn't rebound for shit
Derek Anderson
Goose. Then we could have made some baskets in the first half.
I'm looking at box score.
Our starting small forward had 5 points 2 rebounds.
Our starting power forward has 9 points, 1 rebound.
The best small forward in Kentucky history was Jamal Mashburn. Averaged 21 points/ game
The best power forward in Kentucky history was Jamal Mashburn. Averaged 8.5 rebounds/ game.
Two for the price of one.
I wrote "Anthony Epps" but I was thinking Tony Delk. My memory is declining and it may be terrible, but I was thinking of a knock-down shooter with solid handles and good defense.
Interesting question. There are probably at least 50 former players that one could choose from past UK teams that could be added and probably made the difference. Some who came off the bench for most of their careers.
In reality though, I feel that if we(UK) had played with a more sense of urgency in the first half and the ball bounced our way a couple of times, the team we had last night could have won that game without a doubt. Just didn't happen.
At least I don't have to spend time being angry because the officials robbed us like has happened several times.
(Of course that might have happened if we ever took the lead.)

Mashburn. Would have hit the boards but also almost definitely given us a huge offensive spark.
With that whistle, Cousins would have fouled out in 15min.
The biggest problem was rebounding, and Oscar was a once in a generation college rebounding machine. So got to go with him on this one.
Although I could see if someone said Lamb, because we not no 3's except from Butler.

Definitely an Anthony Davis, Chuck Hayes, KAT, or Julius Randle type player strictly for rebounding!
We looked completely out of sorts. For a bucket and momentum shift and to get the guys on the same page, senior Darius Miller.
Any of the superstars of the past are the obvious answer, so I'll give a different answer. Loved Miller when he was here. Seemed to always get in the lane and make a three when we needed it.
