One of the bigger “what-ifs” of the last 30 years when it comes to Kentucky basketball is just how far the 2003 Wildcats could have gone if Keith Bogans had not suffered a severely sprained ankle.
That 2003 team was both the SEC regular season (16-0) and tournament champ, losing in the Elite Eight to a Marquette team led by future NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade.
Bogans was certainly not at full strength during that tournament run and as a solid defender, who knows what could have been if he had been at 100%.
23 years later, Bogans is in Lexington on Kentucky’s campus as his son is set to graduate this weekend.
He made a stop to see head coach Mark Pope and newly announced assistant coach Mo Williams.
Bogans was also around the UK practice facility yesterday.
Great to have a UK legend and Hall of Famer in the house this weekend!
