This team brought UK back from the garbage bin of mediocrity and revived Big Blue Nation after Coach Sutton almost killed the program. This team, the Unforgetables, gave Kentucky fans something to cheer for. Did the season end brutally, absolutely. Should Pitino have fronted Laettner? Probably. But the way the game had been going, odds are they would have called a foul and Laettner would have buried the 2 shots at the line and killed us slowly.
Oh I teared up all right...sad I won't be able to get the 7:31 back in my life it took to watch this sillyness! Didn't their season end brutally? Pelphrey still makes me laugh every time I see "the shot" and watch him standing there with his arms down watching a great player make a historic shot! Worst defense ever caught on camera. He celebrated prematurely with 3 seconds left after he thought his team made the winning basket. If he only knew what lied ahead! What a Moron!!
I will never forget this squad that brought so many great memories thru my highschool years.They had alot of character for sticking together even tho the school was on probation early on.I will never forget the Unforgetables...
They are definitly my favorite....I dont know the 2004 squad was pretty loaded. They were the number one overall seed and appeared to be head and shoulders above the rest.I honestly think had they been able to escape with a win versus UAB that they would have destroyed Kansas in the sweet 16. The 99 team was also a great non-final four team. But the Unforgettables are an easy favorite.
@2009rockchalk what a fag ROCK CHALK geeeeeeee Kansas basketball sucks why don't you guys play some competition and waith too beat your all sorry ass next year we've already beat your ass 17 out of 23 times Rock Chalk we gay and suck cock
This is a really dumb comment. I'm a huge Kentucky fan but I don't think I need to point out the reasons as to why this is dumb. By the way, there is a movie made on the Unforgettables. It's called "Beyond The Glory:: The Unforgettables. I'd highly recommend it.
In 1992, as a young Cats fan, I was so sad when they lost that game vs. Duke. But in 1998, I won't forget the Comback Cats who avenged the 1992 team, coming from 17 down to beat Duke in the Elite 8 and going on to win the National Championship. I still have that game on tape. GO CATS!
Mashburn was a beast. I really like the story of the "Unforgettables." I wish someone could post a vid of that game between UK and Indiana in '92 looked like one hell of a game.
Duke crushed ky's heart and season this year

I hope this doesn't sound like taunting or callousness, but would Kentucky have beaten Indiana and/or Michigan had they made it to the Metrodome?
