Welcome to the first edition of “Talkin’ Tubby”, where we travel back in time and look at some of the all-time most memorable players, coaches and games of the Tubby Smith era with the Kentucky Wildcats, and some of the most heartbreaking moments as well.
This new series, “Talkin’ Tubby”, is a very deserving tribute to the Tubby Smith era at Kentucky. All of BBN can remember that Tubby won the 1998 NCAA National Championship in his very first season at Kentucky. Much of BBN will tell you it was because Tubby had Rick Pitino’s players, which is certainly tough to ignore.
