Back in the throne

After a seven-year drought since the University of Kentucky found itself at the top of the polls, the 19-0 Wildcats are back on top. What is more amazing is to take a step back and realize that 10 months ago this was a reeling team losing in he NIT. Such is the impact of John Calipari. This time last year the Cats were 16-4, but would finish out the season with a 6-10 record from that point on. This year, they instead find themselves undefeated at 19-0 for the first time in 40 years, and the unanimous number one in the ESPN and AP polls. The slideshow says it all. Superb freshman, and equally fantastic coaching has this team back where it's hungry fanbase wants it. As Pat Forde put it, 7 years is a long time in Cat years.

Below is the Kernel slideshow, which also may I add the UK cheer leading team claimed its 18th championship this year. They have only missed out on the title 2 times in the last 15 years.
