Dang. That’s crazy that he was still alive. RIP legend — can’t believe someone from the 1951 championship team was still going.

Condolences to the family.

RIP. Could you imagine being named after a stadium?

RIP Mr. Hagan. A true Blue Wildcat from a better time imho. A legend.

Hagan was a legitimate basketball great who was 50 years ahead of his time when it came to handling football and basketball “NIL contracts” as the athletic director

I remember him playing for the St. Louis Hawks when I was a kid, but too young for his UK time.

Such a great ambassador for our university. You will be terribly missed and always be remembered. Rest in peace

Good ribeyes too.

He was my first favorite wildcat. RIP

Can only offer my condolences to this thread. Very sad news as Cliff was and will remain an iconic figure in the storied legacy of UK basketball.

loved that hook shot…

 

[mhs1964]

Prettiest hook shot I ever saw and he would successfully launch it from the corner.

I remember his steakhouses as a kid.

I might have missed it but we are 50 minutes in on the KSR show today and no mention of Cliff's death. But we sure know how their travels to OK today. Another example of a POS they are.

I think you’re judging too harshly. All of those guys are too young to remember Hagan’s playing days and might only remember him as the AD who burnt the program down in the 80s

POS is a tad harsh. Jeez.

Sorry to hear of his passing, no matter his age. We have lost another true Kentucky legend and I don't believe there are many left from Rupp's championship teams. He was truly one of the great ones at UK. Rest in Peace, Mr. Hagan.
