Courtside with the Kentucky Wildcats
In Thursday’s story about Kentucky, I made a mistake. I said that only George Mason in 2006 had advanced to the Final Four as an 11 seed.
A reader reminded me that LSU did the same thing in 1986. Who could forget that? I could.
So two out of 92 No. 11 seeds have advanced to the Final Four.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
