The death of UK’s 3-time All-American basketball star Cotton Nash is hitting Big Blue fans – and Nash’s teammates – hard. Larry Pursiful was a senior guard and All-SEC pick when Nash was a sophomore and eligible to suit up for the varsity squad for the first time. Nash led the team in scoring; Pursiful was second.
“They had to guard one of us, and when they when they focused on Cotton, you know , then I was open. And then they I focused on me, we got the ball to Cotton. And it really, really was a good combination that year.”
