KSR’s Game of the Day: Kentucky defeats Kansas to win program’s eighth national title (2012)

Had the 2020 NCAA Tournament gone on as scheduled, the national title game would have taken place this evening.

Instead of celebrating yet another fun year of college basketball and crying over One Shining Moment tonight, we’re now left wondering what could have been.

Luckily for you, the UK Sports Network is set to rebroadcast Kentucky’s victory over Kansas in the 2012 national championship starting right now over on 630 WLAP, 840 WHAS, and iHeart Radio, among their numerous other affiliates and locations throughout the state.

While we huddle around our radios for our final fireside chat in the Kentucky Classics series with Tom Leach and the broadcast crew, let’s break down how the title win came to fruition in the context of the 2012 season, NCAA Tournament, and in the game itself.
