    Kentucky Basketball Museum Closing

    The University of Kentucky Basketball Museum in Lexington has closed its doors, according to media reports in Kentucky.

    The museum, which was located in the Lexington Center adjacent to Rupp Arena, can no longer support itself financially, executive director Van Florence said.

    Perhaps it's a lack of new exhibits that has hurt them.

    When I was in Lexington two years ago, I visited the museum. It was very impressive. I even paid $9 (?) to take a guided tour of the adjacent Rupp Arena.

    The best part of the tour was this:
    According to its Web site, the museum featured interactive exhibits giving fans the chance to make a radio call of a great UK moment, or play "virtual one-on-one" hoops against a favorite Wildcat. I did my best Christain Laettner impersonation , which really ticked off those around me
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
