Wildcat Madness: Great Eras in Kentucky Basketball
Wilton Sharpe
Kentucky coaching legend Adolph Rupp once said, "We feel the every boy who puts on a Kentucky uniform just plays a little better than he would in one of another color." Nothing could better describe the powerful Bluegrass mystique in the world of college basketball.
The Big Blue's rafters still ring with the daunting achievements of the Fab Five — the back-to-back championship teams of 1948 and '49 led by All-Americans Alex Groza and Ralph Beard. Other greats include Frank Ramsey, Cliff Hagen, Cotton Nash, Dan Issel, Louie Dampier, Kevin Grevey, Jack Givens, Kyle Macy, Rex Chapman, Jamal Mashburn, Antoine Walker, Tayshaun Prince, and Church Hayes — and many more.
