2000

The University of Kentucky Wildcats snatched up their 2000th win against Drexel tonight, 88-44, the first Division I basketball team to reach the milestone. What made the win that much sweeter was the fact that it was the teams most well-rounded, dominant performance to date. North Carolina is behind UK by 8 games with 1992 wins and Kansas by 20 with 1980. Calipari arrived just in the knick of time, as UKs lead was only 4 at the beginning of the season. The post game celebration is what touched me the most, hearing from Rupp's son, Joe B Hall and even Patrick Patterson. Mashburn did the color commentary which I thought was a classy move by ESPN> The coverage was fantastic as the return from each commercial break was welcomed with historic moments from UK's history, including the Mardi Gras miracle in which UK came back from down 31 against LSU by scoring 62 points in the game's final 15 minutes. Kentucky is now 12-0 and now only one number remains on their mind. 8. Their next national championship.
