Kentucky fell short of a Final Four losing to an underdog Auburn, so was it a successful year? Dominique Yates, Louisville Courier Journal
There are many college basketball programs that would kill to be in Kentucky’s shoes.
A 30-win season, five wins against top-25 opponents — including Tennessee when the Vols were No. 1 in the country — and an Elite Eight finish in the NCAA Tournament.
But its not what coaches, players and fans want or expect at Kentucky. They expect a national championship.
It’s now been seven years since the Wildcats have won a title and another four years since they’ve reached a Final Four after a losing to underdog Auburn Sunday in the Elite Eight.
