... in 1995, Coach Rick Pitino decided his team had too many good players, leading him to create a JV squad. This gives you an idea of how freakish we were with bench talent. Pitino thought this would give the young guys on the bench valuable playing experience. Nazr Mohammed was easily the player that benefited the most from this idea. It was such a great idea, to this day we still have one it lasted only one year. Although it wasn't around long, the three straight Final Four's, along with two National titles are a direct result of this futuristic thinking. If nothing else, it helped make Nazr a bunch of money and kept him from transferring.
