I just rewatched this classic UK victory.
A few takeaways:
* Shaquille O'neil went for 14 pts & 21 rebs. Fouled out with 6 fouls. I remember listening to that game on the radio as a youngster but didn't seem to remember that college players were allowed 6 fouls once upon a time. What do you think about that rule? Do you like it at 5 or 6?
* Chris Jackson was REALLY GOOD! I'm surprised he didn't have more success at the NBA level. Perhaps, Tourette's had something to do with that.
* Rupp was electric! It's awesome to see how loyal our fans were even when they had no shot at post season success.
* The unforgettables had so much heart!
* Pitino could have been loved & went down in UK lore as an all-time great. What a scum he has become or revealed himself to be.
