Have talked to a few members of the 1990 Final Four team who have indicated they are being honored at halftime of the game on Saturday, February 22nd.
It is not official yet, but as close as we are to the date and the fact that multiple members of that team are making travel arrangements to be present, I think it's going to happen. I sure hope it does.
In talking to some of these former players and assistants, I learned (and was not previously aware) that the University has never officially honored any of the Nolan teams except for the national championship team. So the 1990 Final Four, 1995 Runners-Up, and 2000 SECT Champions have not been honored in an official capacity by the university.
Those same former players/assistants indicated that this is a great step forward in honoring Coach Richardson's legacy, thanks in large part to John Calipari.
