With this year bringing the 75th NCAA Tournament, fans can vote on the top players, teams and moments of the event, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
Fans can vote on NCAA.com/marchmadness through March 24. Voting continues through March 24. Winners will be announced at the Final Four on April 5.
Four Kentucky players are among a long list of players to consider. The four are Dan Issel, Jack Givens, Tony Delk and Anthony Davis.
Two UK teams are among the teams up for consideration: the Cats of 1995-96 and 2011-12.
For what it’s worth, no Kentucky victory is included among the moments.
The moments involving UK include losses to Texas Western in the 1966 finals, to UCLA in the 1975 finals, to Michigan State in the 2005 region finals and, of course, to Christian Laettner and Duke in the 1992 region finals.
