NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD, THE LEBRON JAMES GETTING DUNKED ON TAPE IS GOING TO BE RELEASED ON T-M-Z TONIGHT AT 6:45.
This Kentucky team was dubbed “Team Turmoil”, yet I had forgotten this team had Prince, Bogans, Fitch, Hayes, Estill, Hawkins, Daniels, Camara, AND ADAM CHILES!! But in all seriousness, this SHOULD have been Tubby’s best team in the 2000′s. Makes me think Carruth and Chiles had more of an affect than we realize.

I just finished watching it on youtube before it was posted here, it was amazing! I wish Rupp could be like that again.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Lol at 0:59
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Rupp was insanely loud that day. Pitino has stated many times that it really bothered him that day. I’m guessing this year will be very similar.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm
What year was this?
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Chiles???
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Oh, I see now — 2001.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
ankles broken at 5:47. and Prince’s reaction is priceless.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
go to TMZ.com… they have footage of the mysterious Lebron Crawford dunk
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Hawkins broke that kid’s ankles SO HARD in the 2nd half.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
BTI!!! Will you go to prom with my sister?!! You are the man! First the players tourney.. then the fly cool videos!
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I had forgotten how much swagger Tayshaun had in college, and Eric Daniels with cornrows makes me happy.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I think BTI is officially not the worst guy anymore….although this video was a little heavy on the Loserville highlights.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Kar-En Syph-Er, clap, clap, clap, clap , clap!

Dunk = who cares
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
that tay dunk @ 2:10 was NASTY
ugh, luke whitehead, yuck
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:31 pm
the Crawford dunk was good, but not OMG HE CLOWNED THAT FOOL good, really it was a 2 handed dunk
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Anyone remember the game when Whitehead fouled out in the first half?
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
That team was absolutely loaded, on paper. I spent the entire summer telling anyone that would listen that we were a sure-fire, can’t-miss Final Four team. Still blows my mind that Bogans no-showed the entire season, Parker blew his knee out again, and Prince’s senior year was wasted like that.
But, still, this L’ville game was definitely a highlight, and Team Turmoil set the stage for the next season’s resurrection. That’s a team Tubby doesn’t get enough credit for, mostly because DWade was able to go for a triple-double when our All-American SEC Defensive POY was on one leg and couldn’t guard him.
Do I still sound bitter?
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I’ve seen this video about 7 times already there must be something wrong with me.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Here’s the Crawford dunk on Lebron now on Youtube.

Tubby had some great teams, like #19 said, we just ran into a kid who was on his way to becoming an NBA hall of famer.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Adam Chiles ended up at Murray State with 2001 filthy card
assistant Mick cronin who are both present on opposing benches
in this game.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:00 pm
All that hype for that? What a waste..
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:00 pm
In addition to the Chiles and Carruth soap opera, don’t forget that Daniels and Fitch were sneaking out with fake IDs, Cliff Hawkins wasn’t going to classes, and Keith Bogans REALLY did not want to still be in college. All those guys finally bought into Tubby’s system at halftime of that game at Vandy in 03 and went on a great run that should’ve ended in a title…but one off night + Dwayne Wade’s coming out party = disappointment.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
9 – Yes, the Hawkins crossover at ~5:45 is one of the sickest in UK history!
and whatever happened to Reece Gaines? anybody on here think Terence Williams is better than Gaines was leaving UL?
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:14 pm
…and I still think Wade was able to have his coming out party ONLY because Bogans was on one leg, because of the cheap shot move of that little runt Wisconsin player Kirk Penney. We should all still be sending Penney turd sandwiches via FedEx for that incident.
If “Pack of Wild Dogs” was healthy for that game, Wade is his man to guard, and Bogans was probably the best perimeter defender in the country that year (SEC DPOY). And we’d have been FF-bound, back to the SuperDome, where we’d left the nets uncut following the SEC tournament so we could come back for them.
Yeah, I think I’m still bitter.

21. Are you going to post that on every UK site? We already have a link thanks.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
i remeber watching carruth i really liked him. he could shoot just never got consistent.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
i had forgotten eric brown from bryan station was on that UofL team, he is crazy as a shit house rat, but he could ball back then!
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:46 pm
at thunder over louisville 2003, i saw Simeon Naydenov from that UofL team walking around by himself in jean shorts and his UofL GAME JERSEY. at first i didnt believe it and thought he might just be wearing a replica as a joke. but as he got closer i realized it wasnt a replica because all the crap on the jersey was embroidered. the worst part was people were actually stopping to get their picture made with him.
looking back on it…that was probably the greatest day of his life. i still think its sad someone who is 6’6” – 220 lbs, looks like this http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/lou/sports/m-baskbl/auto_headshot/p_naydenov.jpg and plays for an “elite” (i use that term loosely) basketball program would have to wear his jersey in public to be recognized. this story is 100% true.
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Look how scared Pitino is when he walks in the arena. Freaking awesome.
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:39 pm
So many hyped up players that never lived up to their potential played in this game. Chiles, Carruth, Brandon Bender, Carlos Hurt. Amazing.
