February 7, 200818 yr Dan Issel fouled out on a very questionable call in that Jacksonville game. Don't remind me. I'm still madder than a wet hornet over that call, and it's been 38 years.:mad: :fight:
February 8, 200818 yr I would think that would be safe to say. Dan Issel was imo the best to ever play at U.K.! I can't hardly pick one player as "the best ever" though, there have been too many great ones. Although it would be hard to pick anyone over Dan Issel. Anyway, Dan Issel along with Kevin Grevey, Ken Walker and Jeff Sheppard are my all time U.K. players. Also, remember that was a time when Freshmen did not play "varsity" and Issel had these numbers in a 3 year time span . Dan Issel holds the Season scoring record - 948pts. (1969-70), Carrer Scoring record-2,138pts. (1968-70), Single season scoring per game avg. 33.9 pts. per game (1969-70), Carrer scoring avg. per game avg. 25.8 (1968-70) Issel also holds the U.K. carrer rebounding records - 1,078reb. (12.9 avg. per game) :thumb::thumb:
February 8, 200818 yr :thumb::thumb: I would also have to add Jack Givens and Kyle Macy to my all time U.K. favorites. :thumb:
February 9, 200818 yr Dan Issel was the man back in those days,alot of great memories during his three years at Kentucky.:thumb:
February 9, 200818 yr Dan Issel was the man back in those days,alot of great memories during his three years at Kentucky.:thumb: That is the thing, a lot of people don't know or don't remember and take into consideration that guys like Issel and "Pistol" Pete Maravich put up those numbers in three years , not four. Just how amazing would it have been to look at their stats/four year numbers if they were allowed to play as freshmen then :eek::thumb:.
February 9, 200818 yr Dan Issel will and always be my favorite UK basketball of all time. I remember listening to all their games on the radio before I went to bed every nite. I was just talking about him last night with some friends. Thanks. JD :thumb: Ahhhh, to hear Cawood call it again. "Dinwiddie at the top of the key. Passes down low to Issel. Big Dan turns, lays it in!!!!"
