The 2011-2012 national championship team has become the gold standard among Kentucky teams, by which all others will be measured.
That is, until this season.
Twenty-four games into this season and the debate rages on because after escaping Baton Rouge with a 71-69 victory over LSU Tuesday night, Kentucky is still undefeated and still the undisputed top storyline in college basketball.
But what does it all mean?
Are this team's weaknesses real or media generated? Fans, maybe UK fans specifically, have to find something to worry about, right? How does it compare to 2012? Was that team the unstoppable force we remember or do we just have a tendency to look upon the past with softer eyes?
Our memories may lie to us but the numbers don't and the results may surprise you.
