Whereas the onetime “sport of kings” has gradually faded from the nation’s sporting conscience, the Kentucky Derby has somehow retained the panache and gravitas befitting one of the nation’s great sports events. Indeed, the annual “Run for the Roses” at Churchill Downs not only continues to bring Louisville to a standstill the first Saturday each May, but keeps the national sports media at attention as well.
Yes, “Derby Day” is still big news, alright, even if horse racing generally is not. For outside of its shrinking universe of devoted fans, the only guaranteed spotlight the sport receives these days comes during the first half of May, leading up to the Derby and through the Preakness.

Hansbrough’s credentials, in particular, are certainly solid, although we must note how his North Carolina squad wobbled noticeably when PG Ty Lawson was out with injury in the later part of the campaign. Both Rose and Douglas-Roberts were spectacular for John Calipari’s exciting Memphis team, while we doubt UCLA would have made a third straight trip to the Final Four without the contributions of Love. And Rush was the top player on the national championship team. But the best player we saw this season? It was Beasley, whose presence immediately made Kansas State a force to be reckoned with, and will likely become the top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft if he leaves early, as expected.
