The 2009-10 Kentucky Wildcats season under Matthew Mitchell was filled with some first and a whole heck of a lot of fun.
An 11-0 start, 28-8 overall record, 11 wins in the SEC, an Elite 8 trip and a Number 10 overall ranking left Wildcat fans asking for more. More we got as Mitchell signed Kentucky’s first ever five-star recruit.
