| Overall, the outstanding showing by the SEC in the NCAA touranment suggested that Kentucky's regular-season results were actually better than initially thought. Arch-rival Florida won the National Championship convincingly, while SEC Champion Louisiana State surprisingly stormed the Final Four, Alabama lost a heart-breaker to eventual NCAA runner-up UCLA and South Carolina, spurned yet again by the NCAA committee, won the NIT for the second year in a row.
This team continued a long tradition of outstanding teams which represent the University of Kentucky basketball program. Kentucky basketball is comprised of talented players and coaches who form together as a single unit to work toward a common goal. The team plays an exciting brand of basketball which looks to get out and run, but one that also looks to execute offensively whenever possible and minimize mistakes. Defense is Kentucky bread and butter, as they look to disrupt and shut down the opposing team's game plan. The team regularly faces some of the most challenging schedules in the nation against motivated opponents looking to make a name for themselves by beating the Big Blue. There is no program in the nation with as devoted, knowledgeable or fanatical fans as the University of the Kentucky. It's no accident that Kentucky is generally considered the top college basketball program of all-time, or that Kentucky leads the nation in numerous statistical categories.
