Yesterday was a sad day for the BBN when Bob Wiggins passed away. The ultimate UK fan, the Pendleton County native started attending games in 1944. He attended more than 1,650 Kentucky basketball games, 615 in a row, only for the streak to snap after he had a heart attack. In 2011, Wiggins was interviewed by Ryan Lemond on Kentucky Sports Radio. Take a trip back in time to hear stories from Wiggins' long history with Kentucky basketball.
