If you only count a successful season by winning the national championship, then UK has only had eight successful seasons. Regular season or tournament wins against Louisville, Florida, Tennessee, Kansas, UNC, Duke...... beating all of our rivals don't mean anything if you can't enjoy the season without winning the national title. If you can't enjoy the regular season or any other season that doesn't end with a national championship, then why do you follow the team in the first place?

The NCAA Tournament is a great way to crown a champion, but not the best way to determine the best team. Everybody has an off-game or an off-night.
