1978 Championship Tribute
Louisville Courier Journal

In 1978, the Kentucky Wildcats won their 5th NCAA National Championship.  The Championship was the culmination of an outstanding four-year run by the Joe B. Hall led Wildcats that saw an NIT Championship [1976], an Elite 8 [1977], a National Runner-up [1975], and this Championship.  With this Championship, Coach Hall became the second UK Coach to bring the big NCAA hardware home to Lexington.
