I remember that shot Sparks hit in the NCAA tournament against Michigan State I believe, to send it to Overtime. I was probably like 10 at the time and reenacted that shot on the little goal I had in my room probably 100 times.

[Travis Graf]

Wall/Ulis
Bogans/Monk
Prince/MKG
AD/TJ
Harrellson/Cousins

 

[BourbonBalz]

There are so many, but for me it's KENNY "Sky" Walker. No Cat ever played harder or tougher. He was simply unstoppable in the paint at 6' 8" and about 210lbs.

PG Ulis
SG Meeks
SF Gilchrist

Hayes would help any team. He was Mr. Selfless who sacrificed his all for UK basketball.
