Basketball is officially over for me it ended last night a little after eleven when Kentucky lost in the National Semi-Final game. What a glorious fun season it was, 29-9 when most of us thought at the end of February that we would be lucky if we got in the NCAA tournament. One month later the Cats would sweep through the SEC tournament, revenge a loss to West Virginia, beat the over all number one seed Ohio St. and take care of our ancient rival North Carolina to make it to their 14th Final Four. Not bad!
Who among us didn't take pride in our Jorts and marvel at the wildly talented freshmen. Coach Cal had done what he said he would, restore Kentucky back to the top of the mountain and make us relevant again. Maybe they didn't win the 8th National Title but they did make us proud to be a fan of the Greatest Tradition In The History Of College Basketball. And with what Coach Cal has coming on the horizon the future looks very bright.
So, I put the lid on another basketball season and think about the future, I come to the realization that there are only 190 days until Big Blue Madness, and I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait.
