WKU beat Alabama and Memphis is basketball last season. Ohio beat defending national champs (at the time) Virginia. And don't forget MTSU's huge big dance wins over BigTen teams a few years ago.

WKU made it to the Final Four once upon a time. If you look it up (1971), you'll see Vacated, where WKU should be. I don't recall the exact details, but it involved a player (the star of the team) who had had contact with an agent. I remember at the time thinking it was not an offense that deserved that harsh a penalty. I'll bet if UK had had the same issue, you wouldn't see Vacated in that slot today. In fact, UK was one of the teams WKU beat on their way to Final Four.

And, one of the reasons for WKU's victory of UK was similar to one that helps explain OHIO's victory over UK in 1964 -- integrated teams playing a team run by racists. OHIO had a completely integrated starting five and WKU had an all African American starting five. When OHIO played UK in the NCAA tournament UK was lilly white. When WKU played them UK had a few token blacks.
