Only 3 days left till Big Blue Madness! Lets take a quick look at Patrick Patterson. Patterson is the one bright spot of Kentucky basketball for quite some time now. I don’t think anyone could question the impact that he has had on the program and how he has shown that players do still go to a school because he wants to be a part of it. Most kids these days just go to a school for selfish reasons and I doubt anyone could argue against the reasons Patrick chose UK and chose to return this season.

Patrick could have very easily picked Florida over UK and he could have left after this past season without ever looking back. Patterson has shown something to the UK fans that we have not seen in a long time…commitment to the University of Kentucky basketball program.

While there have been many talented players make their way through the program it has been very very rare to find a player that really understands what it means to be an University of Kentucky basketball player. Hopefully he can teach the other guys how to embrace UK the way he has. The last time we ever saw anything like this was back when Pitino first started out and it was all about UK and nothing else.

Here are some Patterson videos….
