[Hoot Gibson]

Shelvin Mack had 20 points for butler.

Shelvin Mack was good enough to start as a freshman for a very good Butler team but he was not good enough to sit on Billy Gillispie's bench at UK. When I watch Mack play in person at Hinkle Fieldhouse, I realized just how bad of a judge of basketball talent Gillispie was. Shelvin Mack will never play in the NBA but he is much better than any point guard Gillispie had on his roster.

Lee Todd and Mitch Barnhart both should have been fired along with Gillispie and escorted to the state line for not firing Gillispie when he refused to sign a contract.
