From Tom Leach: “It’s impossible to please everyone in an exercise like this so I can empathize with the criticism likely to come to the NCAA staffers who compiled these lists, with help from some media folks. Still, I’d love to hear some reasons why at particular Kentucky team got so little attention.
Jack Givens made the list of 75 players but his 41-point masterpiece against Duke in the title game didn’t make the cut of 35 memorable moments. And he and his teammates were not among the 25 teams singled out as the all-time best (these lists can be viewed at NCAA.com and fans will get a chance to help pare them down for recognition at the 2013 Final Four).”
