The year that almost was............

What a ride.  If you are a Kentucky fan, you have been on a emotional roller coaster for the past two years.  What we've seen this year was amazing.  Kentucky basketball came alive again, with arguably the best coach in the business, the best point guard to ever wear the blue and white uniform in John Wall, super big man DeMarcus Cousins, and our fan favorite Patrick Patterson.  I just knew this was the year we make it back to the Final Four, however all us Kentucky fans forgot one thing.  These are kids who where in High School this time last year.  Somehow and some way, they found a way to win basketball games making us forgot how young these kids are.  Fast forward to today, March 27th and we realize that these kids didn't understand how to handle the pressure after falling behind a couple of baskets in the biggest of games on one of the biggest of nights.  They waited until today, but the freshmen in them showed up.  What's worse still, we will most likely not get a chance to see how this team could respond next March, because most will be moved on the the NBA.  We have in our hands the potential in 2, or maybe even just 1 year to have the greatest college basketball team of all time, however............ we wont get a chance to see because of the NBA.  Well, maybe Brandon Knight can do what John Wall couldn't.........to next year! Go Big Blue
