How did the team do when you were a student?

I transferred to UK in 2011 and graduated in 2013. So I had some amazing times with the 2011 FF, followed by the 2012 title. 2013 was rough, but still had the highs of the two years prior.

A lot of hazy memories from the 11 and 12 NCAATs.

My freshmen year was 38-1. Campus was electric that season. Had a Com-101 class with the four freshmen (KAT, Book, Lyles and Ulis). All cool dudes who always seemed to be around campus enjoying the student life. My junior year was Fox, Monk and Bam, also a super fun time on campus, didn’t see them as much but probably because I was in my college taking special courses. I was on campus during an interesting time because by the time I graduated football and basketball had almost switched in popularity.

'01- lost Swt 16 to USC
'02- lost Swt 16 to Maryland

Living on campus during some of these runs must have been wild.

In contrast, I was with a lot of Syracuse grads this weekend for a wedding. They were nice and all, but Syracuse fans love to pretend their program is at this same elite level as Kentucky and Duke are. These guys still talk about their "glory days", which really was a single title in 2003, Melo, and almost nothing else. So I can't imagine what it must have been like to be on campus for an actual LEGIT basketball program.

2005-2009. Rough basketball years but a few fun football memories with the 2007 team. MBA in 2009-2010 during Cal’s first year and and that made up for all of it. What a blast.

My freshman year was 2011-2012 season. Senior year was 2014-2015. Maybe the best stretch of time ever to be on campus I would imagine. Witnessed a championship and three F4s in total.

I would argue my stretch of 95-99 was the best. 3 championship games in a row plus a title. Either have a claim.
