How will the 23/24 team be remembered as a whole?

All excluding graduates and draft prospects have left UK after a more than disappointing end of season.

Who was on that team? Well we have the Rupps Runts, The Untouchables, how about The Forgetables since no one will remember their names.

The team that Cal mismanaged to the point he was run out of town.

It's not true that he was "ran out of town", but that will be the narrative and legacy of the team. The team that got hall of fame Coach Cal ran off (through his own mismanagement).

This team will be remembered for three things:
Cal’s last team.
The best three-point shooting team in the school’s history.
Most importantly, it will be remembered for Reed Shepperd.

Who?

That may sound sarcastic, but it’s actually not. I can tell you very little about the last 5 to 7 years with any sort of precision. I get years mixed up all of the time when discussing this failure or that failure.

The years before I can speak with amazing precision. It’s not the older age, just the complacency that Cal created. I just cared a lot less and barely tuned in to watch games.

This past season will just get mixed in with the jumbled mess of failure that we’ve experienced over the last 7 years.

The team that could score a lot of points, couldn't stop anybody, and was coached so poorly that they had double digit losses and lost to freakin Oakland in the first round of the tournament.
Couldn't stop anybody? They didn't WANT to stop anybody. Maybe the laziest UK team I've ever witnessed.

Cal mucked up yet another team that at the very least should have made the SS and had as good a chance as anyone to make the FF.

One last look at why it was time for Cal to go. And Reeds wasted year.

It was the performance of managing the team that caused Cal to run himself off.

Another group of guys going through the motions.

Sheppard just through another pass that went 3 rows up while I wrote this.

One of the most fun and entertaining roller coaster rides in years that crashed into a paper mache wall and splintered into a billion pieces eventually resulting in a complete reset of the program.

Fun, shiny failure.

A disappointing but fitting end to an era of UK basketball that saw the top of the mountain and then fell off the SOB.

A couple nice regular season wins. A couple more head scratching losses to teams they shouldn't have lost to. 0-2 postseason. Coach leaves after lying and saying he was working "24/7" to "get it right." Every single player bails, most of whom didn't even bother to say, in the words of Jim Cornette, "Thank you. F you. Bye"
