Prince played 4 seasons for the Kentucky basketball program (1999-2002), leading the Wildcats to 3 Sweet 16 appearances and one trip to the Elite 8. In 2001, he was named SEC Player of the Year and the SEC Tournament MVP. Prince scored 1,775 career points in his UK career before being drafted by the Detroit Pistons.
