Welcome, No More Misters! It's UK2K Day.

No offense to the Duke, UCLA, Indiana and various SEC fans out there, but I'm going to have to welcome you to BITB with this.

Yes, our college basketball program can beat up your college basketball program, and has probably done so at least once.

The journey began Feb. 18, 1903.

Win No. 1 for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program came by one, 11-10, over the always formidable Lexington YMCA.

On Monday night, the fascinating journey that is Kentucky basketball reached 2,000 wins first — before any other college hoops program — with an 88-44 obliteration of Drexel.

"This is for the greatest fans in the history of college basketball," UK Coach John Calipari said.

What a trek UK2K has been.

No, there is nothing horrible and vicious you can say about Calipari that I will not agree with and try to top, and yes, by the beginning of this season any semi-alert high-school basketball coach could have gotten this team to 2,000 wins, but here's the important thing to remember:

UK got there ahead of North Carolina.
