In my 94-feet feature, I take a look at the short history of UK vs. Iowa State, and examine the basketball life of Cyclone head coach Fred Hoiberg. In addition, there is an interesting UK-ISU connection involving former UK assistant coach Lynn Nance. Here's an excerpt:

Referees and coaches intervened, so no blood was shed, but Nance will forever be remembered for showing true grit when taking on the General.
