Considering from the Depths of Hell that UK came from (By historical standards), first year after Drunken Billy and an early out in the NIT to the Elite 8 is a small first step. Plus, we were going to hang an Elite 8 Banner but with all the NCAA Champ, SEC Champ, Final Four and other banners in the rafters, there just was not any room. Unlike the Yum Center, which I have never been in, but I hear has PLENTY of rafter space still available. So much so, they are renting it out to Lee's Famous Recipe, Taco John's and Captain D's to hang a few signs from hoping to stir up a little more income for the "Bottom Line Profit Margin".
