Finally....The Moment Has Arrived

Me, Graham Duncan, avid Wildcat fan...I never thought this would happen. UK is in the Final Four for the first time in 13 years. Who would have thought that this group of players (who have nowhere near the talent of last year's squad) would do what last year could not? Let me be the first to say that I certainly didn't...along with all of Big Blue Nation. But let me also be the first to say that I will be one of the most avid supporters of this team in the country. This squad is simply amazing. They play on a 6 man rotation...their talent isn't quite what other teams have. But they have heart. They've proven that having the top recruiting class isn't everything. They've proven what can happen when you believe in yourself and in the rest of your team. Throughout the whole season there wasn't much for UK. Sure we only lost 9 games this whole season...but all of those were on the road and away from Rupp Arena. We couldn't stay tough in close games, there just wasn't a desire to win. They have that desire now. They stormed through the SEC tournament in spectacular fashion. They got a 4 seed in the NCAA tournament and got placed in the same bracket as Ohio State and North Carolina...and guess who is in the Final Four? That's right UK is. This team is amazing. The way they have come together with each other is awesome. They have chemistry, they trust each other, they trust their coach, they have the backing of the best fan base in the country...they have Josh Harrellson. Anything I could say would just be repeating and rehashing what others have said, so I'm going to stop right there. But I want to add that I love this team. This basketball team is amazing I love watching them play and I absolutely cannot wait to see what they do in these last two games. Let's go UK! And so we go.
