Karl-Anthony Towns: 'Still Hurts' Thinking About Kentucky Losing Perfect 2015 Season

The 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats boasted one of the most dominant teams of all time, posting an undefeated regular season behind a star-studded roster.

But as dominant as it was, Kentucky fell short of its ultimate goal of winning a championship. The Wildcats lost to top-seeded Wisconsin in the Final Four to end their magical run.

Karl-Anthony Towns, a member of that Kentucky team, has gone on to have a successful NBA career, but he admitted the loss still haunts him on a recent appearance on Club Shay Shay.

"That game still hurts. I still haven't watched it, I can't," Towns told Shannon Sharpe (9:30 mark). "It's one of those painful memories that I think we both have as playing as professionals, and I even say in college as well. That game probably hurt the most, and that's something that stuck with me."

For Towns, the thing that stung the most was falling short of his goal in front of his family, who put him in a position to play at the collegiate level.

"What really hurt us the most was, like I said not only seeing each other and understanding this may be the last time we ever play with each other and be able to have this opportunity, but when you have to go home from the arena and see your families in the lobby, it hurt..." Towns said. "Not being able to bring that trophy home for them, I think that really, really hurt."

The 38-1 Wildcats had six players selected in the 2015 NBA draft with four going in the first round. Many of those players have gone on to have fruitful careers like Towns, Devin Booker and Willie Cauley-Stein.

As much NBA success as they have had, the sting of falling short of a championship will always stick with them.
