Even people who have never really followed college basketball, most people know about the Kentucky Wildcats.

Kentucky has had an impressive impact on college basketball throughout its programs history. They are ranked number one in all time wins in the NCAA. They are ranked number two in most championships won with eight, and are ranked number one overall in tournament wins, and tournament appearances.

Kentucky has been an impressive team throughout the last century but this year the Wildcats could be the most impressive group of young athletes ever seen in the school’s history.

Head coach John Calipari put together a team that would turn the heads of people across the nation as the Wildcats would end the regular season with an undefeated record of 31-0.

Lead by freshman Karl-Anthony Towns, the twins Andrew, and Aaron Harrison, along with big men Willie Cauley-Stein, and Trey Lyles Kentucky had a strong five entering the tournament.

Kentucky would win the SEC division tournament taking down teams such as Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas.

Entering the NCAA tournament a lot of people were speculating that no team would be able to match the size and talent necessary to bring down this Wildcat team.

Kentucky took the first couple rounds easily beating teams such as Hampton, and Cincinnati.

Kentucky would make the Sweet Sixteen playing number five ranked West Virginia University. Freshman guard for WVU stated “They’re going to be 36-1,” prior to the game held ona March 26. Kentucky would come out strong dominating West Virginia 78-39.

They would then advance to play Notre Dame in the Elite Eight and a spot in the Final Four. This would be a hard fought game with a questionable outcome. Sophomore Andrew Harrison would seal the win for Kentucky at the line as the WIldcats defeat Notre Dame 68-66.

Kentucky would move on to play Wisconsin in the Final Four with the winner moving on to the championship game. Lead by senior Frank Kaminsky, the Wisconsin Badgers would be the ones to put the nail in the coffin of the Wildcats undefeated season winning 71-64.

Uncertain of which players will be returning next year or moving up towards the NBA, the Kentucky Wildcats look to make improvements, and to have an even better season next year.
