This is a picture of the UK basketball team in 2012 after winning the National Championship in New Orleans 67-59 over the Kansas Jayhawks. This is a picture, to the people around us in Lexington, led to much comfort, as John Calipari had won his first national championship (ever) and the UK won their 8th championship (before that the last time they won was 1998). It led to much rejoicing, after defeating arch rivals Louisville in the semifinals and a long three years as big coach John Calipari began coaching at Kentucky. Around this picture, much frustration around the Kansas Jayhawks as they failed to defeat Kentucky after a difficult match, and much celebration for Kentucky. Because Kentucky won the championship, innumerable coaches were burned, cars flipped, and many houses on state street damaged from all the celebrations on and off the campus of the University of Kentucky. This picture for many fans of Kentucky symbolizes what they would say 14 years of frustrations after failing to win the championship after coming so close many years in a row. This shows the world of Lexington, Ky in a picture.
