1997 - if Pitino played Derek Anderson then Miles Simon and Mike Bibby don't have field days. If Nazr Mohammad had made any of his six free throws then Kentucky beats Arizona for the title.

2011 - Kentucky goes 4-12 from the free throw line and loses by a point to Uconn in the semis. Kentucky beats Butler for the title if we get past Uconn

1975 - John Wooden announced it would be his last game. Played 3-4 guys the whole game and beat a powerful more talented much taller Kentucky team for the title.

Last, I forget the year that UK had Bowie and Turpin and they played Patrick Ewing and Georgetown. Ewing got in foul trouble and Hall rested the big fellas so they would be ready the second half. Kentucky came out cold the second half and I think it was a freshman James Blackmon that made the first basket many minutes into the second half. The Cats weren't necessarily a lock but should have had a shot at it.
