LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- They all wanted a picture with Jeff Sheppard.

As the Most Outstanding Player of the 1998 NCAA tournament shuffled toward the KFC YUM! Center for his alma mater's matchup at Louisville, dozens of Kentucky fans pulled him aside and held up their phones.

"Hey, look at that, son!" one father told his child after he snapped a selfie. "You just took a picture with Reed Sheppard's dad!"

Jeff is one of the program's most popular former players.
