Late in the 1980 - 1981 season, the Tigers reached #2. They lost at UK on the last day of the regular season and would eventually make it to the Final Four that year. They wound up losing in the semis to Indiana, then to Virginia in what would be the last 3rd place game played at the Final Four.

Isaiah Thomas for Indiana and Ralph Sampson for Virginia. They were pretty good at the next level too.
