100 years of basketball: Conner says Bearcats' 1971 run is what makes Kentucky special
LOUISVILLE – To someone raised in the ESPN generation, it might seem strange that a high school basketball game played on a Saturday morning means as much to Jimmy Dan Conner as delaying Bobby Knight's first national championship by a year.

ONLINE EXTRA: 100 years of basketball -- The Ultimate 'What if?'
Basketball fans often talk about the “What ifs?” in their sport.
Like “What if Mike Casey had not broken his leg in the summer before his senior year? Would a team of Dan Issel, Mike Pratt and Mike Casey have been unstoppable in 1970?”
Or “What if Terry Howard had remained perfect at the free throw line? Would Kentucky and Louisville have played for the national championship in 1975?”
