... in 2008, your University of Kentucky all-time great Tayshaun Prince was named to the United States Olympic team that would compete for a gold medal in Bejing, China. Prince was only the second Wildcat in forty-eight years to be selected to the Olympic team and the first to play since Adrian Smith in 1960. Sam Bowie was selected, but the Americans boycotted the vodka-drinkin’ commies in 1980. In what turned out to be actual tryouts, Tayshaun’s length made him a defensive weapon in case another nation got out of hand. Prince brought back the gold in an impressive performance against the Spaniards and refused to give his medal to Coach K during a ceremonial photo op after the game. He was immediately inducted into the Kentucky Hall of Fame.
