LEXINGTON, Ky. _ Ranking the 10 Kentucky teams coached by John Calipari is like picking the prettiest flowers in a bouquet of roses. Four teams ended their seasons in the Final Four. Three more advanced to the Elite Eight.
Only twice previously has Kentucky enjoyed such success in a 10-year period: four Final Four appearances and three other advancements to the Elite Eight in 1989-90 through 1998-99, plus three national championships and three other advancements to the Elite Eight from 1948-49 through 1957-58. It should be noted that in the latter, only eight teams played in the NCAA Tournament those first two years, and only 16 in the following two tournaments.
