Truly a sad day in the Big Blue Nation. Mr. Wildcat will be sadly missed and my condolences go out to the Keightly family.

I know A LOT of people on this site don't like Tubby Smith (for one reason or another), but you can't deny the fact that not many people are as classy as he is. With that being said, here are some comments he had about Mr. Keightley.

He was a graduate of Kavanaugh High School in Lawrenceburg.

I hadn't shed a tear the whole time since Keightley passed away, but while watching this I shed several tears...

Watching that video and seeing all the history and people he has shared his time with and how he loved everyone, I think, is just another example of how we shouldn't feel betrayed or abandoned by Rick Pitino or Tubby Smith, but how we should embrace the fact that they helped add to the rich history of UK basketball. Mr. Keightley could always find the positives in everyone, we all should do the same.
