Dan Issel Shared a Message with the UK Basketball Team

The Kentucky basketball team received some encouraging words from UK legend Dan Issel on Thursday.

Issel, the all-time leading scorer in UK history, talked to the team at practice about achieving something special.

Issel had the players look at the banners hanging around the Joe Craft Center and pointed out that he didn’t do everything because he didn’t hang one of them.

You can hear Cal’s reaction when Issel tells the team to hang a 2020 championship banner.

What a treat to have one of the greatest ever at practice today!

Great message for our team from @DanIssel44 today. Thanks for your words of advice and what you’ve done for this program, Dan!!! pic.twitter.com/jjZDO1FAPw
