Notes |
The majority of nationally known artist Leroy Neiman's work deals with sports: golf, basketball, boxing, etc. At times he worked for ABC, NBC, and CBS Sports, painting live while the sporting event was underway. This print falls into that category. It was executed during UK's fifth national championship in 1978. Led by Jack "Goose" Givens from Lexington, the Wildcats defeated Duke 84-78. |
