If you watched Kentucky’s win over Notre Dame Saturday night, you almost certainly noticed Chris Webber’s open cheering for the Fighting Irish.
Webber was still on the anti-Kentucky bandwagon this morning on the Mike & Mike Show on ESPN. The former Michigan Fab Five big man took several shots at the Wildcats and particularly Willie Cauley-Stein.
Check these comments out:

Chris Webber says “Its the dumbest statement ever to compare Cauley-Stein to Deandre Jordan… Because Cauley-Stein cant score”

Anyone remember the 1993 national championship game when Webber infamously called a time-out with 11 seconds left in the game when his team, down 73–71, did not have any remaining? The result was a technical foul that effectively clinched the game for North Carolina.
Actually the timeout didn’t mean much since all of Webber’s college wins and Final Four appearances were vacated due to (him and other players) accepting money from Ed Martin, which compromised his amateur status.
