I still remember watching this when I was just a kid. The whole family decked out in blue, screaming at the tv. :) Those were the days, such a great memory that will never leave me. I love Kentucky basketball. <3

@Ldale11: And don't forget, they played in an easy regional against cupcakes every year. They should have called it the "Little Debbie" regional instead of the West Regional.

Speaking of coaches, that is what Tark was saying. I am not saying he was a saint, but he said that the NCAA was all over him at Long Beach, and was ignoring almighty UCLA.

I always wonder what would have happened if Minnesota somehow got to the 72 Finals instead of Florida State.

@shep40165 You are an idiot. Pitino's staff recruited a few of these guys and that's all. Pitino had nothing to do with the 97-98 season at all. Don't make dumbass comments like that.

@cschnei08 yeah for North Carolina people beside Duke wasn't in the final four in 98. Duke and North Carolina have never played a NCAA Tournament game kind of surprising .

Hopefully the Cats will have a 2011 video like this it would be so sweet to bring home # 8 similar to this 98 team because nobody thought they would win it either
