People remember a few moments in the BET and NCAA on that 11-game run, but his not being NPOY in favor of Jimmer Frickin Ferdette is one of the great snubs in sports history. 3 of those 5 teams were 8th ranked UK who we then of course beat in the final four; 2nd ranked Michigan State; and eventual NIT champion Wichita State. All over the course of that Maui invitational, averaging 30 a game, before anyone knew what that team full of freshmen really was. I’ve always said that Bazz was the guy who would rip your heart out from 27 feet; but it just felt like Kemba was doing magic at times [/QUOTE]
