Remember when John Calipari was hired at Kentucky and everyone, including Lousiville fans, said that Kentucky would be the first to vacate a national championship? Well, about that…
hmmm…
#5 – UK’s Nat’l Championship banner has velcro on the back for easy removal once it’s vacated.

Your BB Coach is the ONLY coach to have TWO final four appearances vacated. Remember that son.

Today is a good day.
With the vacated UL wins, Western Kentucky now takes over as the 2nd winningest College Basketball Program in history from the state of Kentucky

LOL…
Banner or no banner, let me tell you this:
On April 8th 2013, Louisville defeated Michigan 82-76 for the 2013 NCAA National Championship.
IT HAPPENED.

The ball doesn’t lie. Michigan would’ve won that game if that wasn’t called a foul.
