Yesterday April 5th: On this date...

... in 1998, the older man above, along with Scott Padgett and Wayne Turner were honored at Rupp Arena following their NCAA title run. More than 20,000 fans came to Rupp to show their appreciation for the Comeback Cats. The Tubby Smith led Wildcats beat Utah in the championship game 78-69, giving Kentucky its seventh and most recent championship. The fans that couldn't make it to Rupp Arena to see the event later celebrated by littering Tubby Smith front lawn with For Sale signs!
