Go through your Kentucky basketball archives to remember the many epic duels with the Tennessee Volunteers. Picture the bad guys... ... Ron Slay ... Tyler Smith ... Wayne Chism The worst of the worst are assembling in the 2021 edition of The Basketball Tournament as the Ballinteers. Reader beware: One look at the complete roster may cause you to break out in a fit of rage.  [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="680"] @TheTournament[/caption] The head coach was the first college basketball player I hated, Ron Slay. When Bruce Pearl had the Vols rocking and rolling, Wayne Chism was trying to figure out how to wear a headband alongside Tyler Smith. The team's only saving grace is the man that produced Ryan Lemond's favorite Rupp Arena memory, former Mason County star Chris Lofton. There are only two people missing from Rocky Top's Most Wanted, Grant Williams and Fulky.
