Mitch Barnhart: “I’ve been here 20 years at Kentucky, and I’ve lived in and worked alongside what I consider the greatest fanbase in America. … We’re built for championships. It’s about championships in March and April, deep, deep runs. We fell short of that this year.”

Mitch Barnhart: “(Kentucky) celebrates championship-level performance. We need to return that. Our fans deserve that. I am deeply disappointed as they are, that we didn’t have a chance to experience that this year in Indianapolis, Philadelphia and New Orleans.”
