Kentucky Wildcats News: 2012 UK Basketball team gets little respect from coaches
No love for a great Kentucky squad in these rankings
The 2011-2012 Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, featuring star players Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, earned little recognition from college basketball coaches in a recent poll. Despite losing only two games and winning the national championship, the team did not rank within the top 5. The poll placed the 2011-2012 Wildcats at #6, while the 2014-2015 team, which narrowly missed the championship, came in at #7.
Coaches expressed surprise and admiration for the 2011-2012 team's dominance, crediting their success to a strong roster that included Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, and Marquis Teague, as well as NBA draft picks Darius Miller and others. One coach acknowledged the team's incredible tournament run, stating that they "dominated another really good team."
