Lexington, KY—The University of Kentucky Wildcats own arguably the greatest tradition in college basketball—the winningest program in NCAA Division I history, first in NCAA tournament wins, the leader in all-time winning percentage, and the only school with five different coaches to win NCAA Championships. In addition, Kentucky's eight national titles ranks second only to UCLA. In the Bluegrass State, however, UK basketball means more than just the statistics. Fans have always had a personal connection to their Wildcats, perhaps because, as All-SEC forward Mike Pratt said, “Kentucky is a small state. It doesn't have a professional baseball team or a professional football team.” True blue fans can be found across the globe, selling out arenas and cheering their team wherever they play.
