Not bad, but where’s Joe B. Hall. His team actually beat Sutton’s in the 78 final four and Joe B. took 3 UK tewams there with two in the final game. Besides Eddie headed up the UK program when it was placed on probation in 89.
I guess the Kentucky fans couldn’t manipulate this vote.
I imagine the koolaid blogs with jump all over this. BUT, once they get done making fools of themselves, Knight and Sutton will still be in the Hall of Fame.
