Not the best. Not your favorite. Which point guard do you think was the physically toughest of all time here? I go back to the mid 80's, so I can't speak to anyone before that.

I'm going with Sean Woods.

I remember Woods got ejected for fighting on his senior day lol. Of course, we know now that he has issues, but still.

Andrew Harrison was damn tough, probably the most physically imposing bruiser at point I can recall. I really want to say Bledsoe but you asked for point guard. We've had many that were mentally tough. The PG I'd least like to run into in a dark alley would be Andrew.

I like Andrew Harrison. For all the grief he got he had a lot of mental toughness and wasn't afraid of contact.

Ulis is another one. Really liked Rondo's nastiness as well. Cliff Hawkins.

Our of all of them I'd probably go with Ulis.

Andrew would be the pg in Cal's era and Turner would be the one in Pitino's era . The twins were in insanely phyisical and tough on D , boards ect. Andrew more so then Aaron though.

Derrick jasper was pretty tough playing on a broken leg way to early, but screw players health(BCG train of thought). Toughest player all time was Mark Coury

Aren't we lucky to follow a program where 20 UK fans will give 19 different answers to this question. Epps is my personal all time favorite Wildcat so I'll go with him. Played in two national championship games. Combined Jr and Sr years for 368 assists 123 steals and 237 rebounds in 76 total contests.

My 2 memories of Epps that make him my choice also are:

-95 SEC Tournament Final Vs. Arky- He came in when Pitino pulled Rod Rhodes and played hard defense and made some HUGE Free Throws to bring us back from being down I think 5-6 points in OT.

-97 NCAA Final vs. Arizona- He played his butt off and made a 3 to put the game into OT after Naz missed all of those Free Throws.

He NEVER got rattled in ANY game. I wish he could teach our current team what "toughness" is!! He was the TOUGHEST!!

Look you guys want to go with "toughest" being a 5* number 1 recruit and performing to the level John wall did is pretty GD hard. Probably the best UK pg of all time

Epps,turner,wall ,teague,turner were all tough as nails
Bledsoe and Bradley would cut your eye lids down faster than anyone
Ulis was gritty

You sir are in the presence of greatness. Cats1again=towns walk screams lazy. The other legend that is back is rayordar. When ramel bradley was here he ran into him on campus and gave Gina few pointers on shooting better. It was an epic thread. He was dead serious which made it better.

As for two tough PGs I'll go hawkins and rondo
