CLEVELAND — It may seem just like yesterday for some Big Blue faithful.Kentucky was riding high, a No. 1 seed in the East Regional Finals looking to make it back to the Final Four for the first time since 1998. The only team standing in the way was the No. 2 seed in that region, West Virginia.Played in a cold, wet and dreary Syracuse, N.Y., the Wildcats missed their first 20 3s against the Mountaineers, finishing just 4 of 32, and lost 73-66.”To even be in the game 0-20, I must have had a hell of a team, which I did,” UK head coach John Calipari said Wednesday.Asked if he could take any lessons from that 2010 game, Huggins replied nonchalantly.”If Cal promises to miss his first 20 3s like they did in 2010 that would help,” he said, “if we could get him to do that.”On Thursday, Kentucky, again the No. 1 seed, will face fifth-seeded West Virginia for the third time in the last six NCAA Tournaments. While no member of either 2010 team is still playing, both schools’ players have been reminded of the game. West Virginia, being the victors that day, naturally have used the history lesson as a sense of pride and motivation. “That’s all we’ve been hearing all week, is the team that beat that team in 2010, but the reality is we play two different styles,” West Virginia senior guard Juwan Staten said. “That team had a lot of size and they played a slower down game. But we’re going to be in your face and we’re going to be pressing. Ultimately that doesn’t mean anything but it gives us a lot of motivation and a lot of confidence.”To put things in perspective, Harrison was just a freshman in high school at the time that game was played. UK’s current freshman class was in its second semester of eight grade, preparing for the upcoming rigors of high school, and Devin Booker was just 13 years old.Asked about it Wednesday, the Wildcats paid no mind to the game, pointing out that it was a different team entirely.”I was probably playing basketball somewhere or doing something else while they were playing,” Trey Lyles said.”I know we didn’t shoot the ball well, but other than that, that’s all I really know,” Aaron Harrison said about the game. “I liked DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall. I was a fan.”One current Wildcat who was watching the game was freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns, only he was watching the Mountaineers more than the Wildcats.”I was watching,” Towns said. “Close friend of mine played for West Virginia, too. Da’Sean Butler.”Even still, with both rosters being entirely different, styles of play having changed, and much more, members of the Big Blue Nation remember the game all too well. On Coach Cal’s weekly call-in show Monday, he was asked about the 2010 game before he could remind the caller that the Cats won one year later – and more recently – in the tournament. Sometimes it’s the most painful memories that linger, but the fact that the fans do remember that game and have reminded the players about it comes as no surprise to Lyles.”I wouldn’t say it surprises me, knowing Big Blue Nation and how they love basketball and stuff like that,” Lyles said. “Every team was their best team so of course they’re going to hold onto something like that and they just want us to beat a team, revenge them I guess.”
