Media will be allowed to shoot video and still photography for five minutes at the start of practice each session. After the 5-minute mark all media must clear the practice floor and approved media members will be escorted to the viewing deck for the conclusion of practice. All player interview and practice access requests are due by 10:00 am ET on the day of each practice session. Gameday shoot-arounds are closed to the media.
so that an organization's Internet or online game coverage does not undercut the authorized and rights-paying fee organization's rights to play-byplay accounts of the game and/or exclusivity as to such rights. 2. Any proposed media use on an Internet or online sight of the game information that is more detailed and/or more than described above will require separate written authorization by the SEC and/or its member institutions. However, such written authorization will not permit the use of game information in entertainment contexts and will not authorize game coverage that, due to immediacy or detail, constitutes or approaches a play-by-play account of a game. 3. Should any of these conditions be breached, the SEC and/or its member institutions will issue a written warning for the first violation. If this violation occurs during the last game of the institutions' regularly-scheduled season, the media organization may not be credentialed for the SEC Tournament. A second violation of this policy will result in revocation of credentials to cover future basketball games hosted by the SEC and/or its member institutions.
Telephone Player Interviews Request telephone interviews at least 24 hours in advance through the Media Relations office. Telephone requests will be returned when players’ schedules allow. Radio Call-In Shows/Internet Chats As specified by the Southeastern Conference, no players will be allowed to participate in live radio shows or on live chat sessions on the Internet other than UKAthletics.com. Postgame Interviews Following each game, there is a 20-minute cooling-off period, during which time the players shower and dress. Approximately 10 minutes after the game ends, Coach Calipari conducts his postgame press conference while a player is taken to the Big Blue Sports Network. Following Coach Calipari’s press conference and the cooling-off period, selected UK players are brought to the media interview room.

R ADIO B ROADCASTS uning into Kentucky basketball games on radio has been a tradition of following the Wildcats since the dawn of the Fabulous Five. Even today, as Kentucky basketball continues to dominate the state in popularity from Pikeville to Paducah, fans tune into the action all across the United States. Again this year, more than 75 stations will carry each game live. So whether the Big Blue fans are in Orlando, Fla., or Harlan, Ky., they can tune into the largest college basketball radio network in the country. The network reaches its outer limits thanks to such stations as Clear Channel’s WHAS in Louisville, 840 on the AM dial, or WSAI-AM in Cincinnati, at frequency 1530. Each broadcast also can be heard around the world on ukathletics.com. Outstanding broadcasters have called Wildcat games through the years. Claude Tom Leach and former UK All-American Mike Pratt, one of the top broadcast crews in Sullivan spent 19 years (1948the nation today, teamed up for the first time in 2001-02. 67) behind the microphone describing UK men’s basketball and football games, while the legendary Cawood Ledford described the action for 39 years (1953-92). Ralph Hacker, Ledford’s partner beginning in 1973, took over the play-byplay duties in 1993 before retiring following the 2001 season, an impressive 29-year career. The rights to the UK broadcasts are owned by IMG College (formerly Host) and Gray Television with WLAP Radio Lexington serving as the flagship station. For information on the Big Blue Sports Network, contact Mike Dodson at IMG College, (859) 226-4678.

HEAD COACH
JOHNCALIPARI CLARION, 1982 (SECOND YEAR)
T HE C ALIPARI F ILE
S
econd-year UK head coach John Calipari continued to work his magic, taking an NIT team in 2009 to the 2010 NCAA Elite Eight. Along the way he led the Wildcats to a No. 1 ranking (UK’s first since 2003), the program’s 44th SEC Championship and 26th SEC Tournament title. The honors continued after the season as Calipari became the first coach in UK history to receive the Adolph Rupp National Coach of the Year award. He then watched as five of his players were selected in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, the first time a school has ever produced five first round picks. Among those picks was the first Wildcat ever taken as the No. 1 overall pick, John Wall. In his inaugural season as head coach of the Wildcats, Calipari posted his fifth-straight 30-win season, the only coach in NCAA Division I history to do so. In addition to the Rupp National Coach of the Year, Calipari was also named the Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year. When he led Kentucky back to the No. 1 spot in the country, Calipari became one of only two coaches (Frank McGuire) in NCAA history to lead three teams to a No. 1 ranking. He led UMass to a No. 1 ranking in 1995 and 1996 and he led Memphis to the No. 1 spot in the 2008 season. Since the 2005-06 season, Coach Cal ranks as the winningest coach over the last five years. After bringing the University of Massachusetts basketball program to national prominence in the ‘90s and resurrecting the Memphis basketball program in the 2000s, Calipari became the 22nd coach in UK history, and is the seventh in the last 80 years. Following his first season at UK, Calipari’s overall record soared to 480-143 for an impressive 77.0 winning percentage. His 480 wins are the secondmost in NCAA Division I history in the first 18 years, Roy Williams being the other. Calipari’s 77.0 winning percentage is the thirdhighest among active NCAA Division I coaches with 10 years experience at college basketball’s Division I level, trailing only Mark Few and Roy Williams. On the NCAA Division I list for winning percentage for all coaches (minimum 10 years), Calipari is in 10th place and ahead of Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Bob Huggins and Lute Olson. With his five 30-win seasons, Calipari now has seven for his career, which is tied for the third-most (Jim Calhoun) for a head coach in NCAA Division 36

I history. For his career (18 years), Calipari has 16 20-win seasons and 10 25-win campaigns. In 1996, Calipari moved from UMass to the NBA after leading the Minutemen to the Final Four. For his efforts, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year. Calipari led the Tigers to the 2008 NCAA title game, and Memphis’ 38 wins in 2007-08 made him the winningest coach for a single season in NCAA history. As a result, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year for a second time in his career. He is only the second coach to receive the honor multiple times since the award’s inception in 1987. Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski is the other to do so. Calipari, the 2009 Sports Illustrated National Coach of the Year, led the Tigers to nine-straight 20-win campaigns and nine-consecutive postseason appearances, the only Memphis coach to do that. He posted 252 wins — 28 wins per season — as the Tigers’ head coach, making him the winningest coach in school history. Much like he did at UMass, when his players graduated at nearly 80 percent, Calipari did the same at Memphis. Fifteen of the last 18 seniors that came through the Tiger program have earned their bachelor’s degrees and the three seniors this season are on schedule to graduate in the spring of 2009. Calipari compiled a 193-71 record (.731) during his eight-year career at Massachusetts, including a 108-44 mark (.684) in Atlantic 10 play. In addition to five-straight NCAA Tournaments, UMass also made two appearances in the NIT, advancing to the NIT final four in 1991. The 199091 season was the first of six-straight seasons in which the Minutemen won at least 20 games. Calipari’s personal 20-win streak has reached the 16-season mark after 35 wins in his first year at UK. All nine of his Memphis clubs won 20-plus games, along with his last six teams at UMass. In his final season at UMass, Calipari was named the 1996 Naismith National Coach of the Year and The Sporting News National Coach of the Year. He was also named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the third time in four years, as well as Basketball Times East Region Coach of the Year. During the Minutemen’s 35-2 season in 199596, UMass posted wins over Kentucky, Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Louisville. UMass ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation in the final regular season poll after being the top-ranked team for nine weeks earlier in the year. The Minutemen also won their first 26 games of the season, setting a school record for most consecutive wins. In addition to his National Coach of the Year

honors in 1996, Calipari was a Naismith Coach of the Year finalist in 1994 and 1995. He was the USBWA District I Coach of the Year in 1993. At 29, when he was named head coach, Calipari began to build a program from the ground up, going 10-18 his first season before posting a 17-14 record his second year (receiving a bid to the NIT). The Minutemen won their first A-10 championship in 1992 with a 30-5 record, including a 133 mark in league play. With a 77-71 overtime win over Syracuse in an East Regional second-round game, UMass made its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. Calipari left UMass in June of 1996 to become Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach of the New Jersey Nets. He led the Nets to a second-place finish in the NBA’s Atlantic Division and the playoffs in 1998, ending a fiveyear postseason drought for the franchise. The Nets’ 17-game turnaround from the previous year was the best that season in the NBA. He became a member of the Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff in 1999, rejoining Philadelphia coach Larry Brown, for whom Calipari was an assistant at Kansas. Calipari began his coaching career at Kansas as a volunteer assistant under Ted Owens. In 1983, he was hired as the recruiting coordinator at the University of Vermont, but was swayed back to the nation’s heartland when Brown was hired as head coach at KU. He spent three seasons at Kansas

ASSISTANT COACH
ORLANDOANTIGUA PITTSBURGH, 1995 (2ND SEASON)
T HE A NTIGUA F ILE
rlando Antigua is in his second season as an assistant coach with the Wildcats after spending just one season with Calipari at Memphis. Known for his eye for talent on the recruiting trail, Antigua has helped UK pull in two-straight top-ranked recruiting classes. In his initial season with the Wildcats, Antigua saw three of his recruits drafted in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft. As a result, he was named one of Yahoo! Sports Top 10 college basketball recruiters. When he joined the Memphis staff in 2008, the Tigers were the winningest program over a three-year span in NCAA Division I, recording 104 victories from 2005-08. So what did Antigua do? He helped coach the Tigers to a 33-4 record and a spot in the 2009 NCAA Sweet 16. For the fourth straight season, the Tigers took the regular season and tournament titles, going undefeated in C-USA three of the four years. Prior to his brief stay in Memphis, Antigua worked at his alma mater, Pittsburgh. During his five years at Pitt, he helped lead the Panthers to an overall record of 132-40 (.767 winning percentage) and a Big East Conference mark of 55-27 (.670 winning percentage). Pittsburgh recorded five-straight 20-win campaigns and won 10 or more league games five-consecutive years. The Panthers had just as much success in the postseason during Antigua's years. The Panthers earned NCAA Tournament bids all five of Antigua's years and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and 2007. Antigua's first stint with Pittsburgh was his collegiate playing days from 1991-95. A fouryear letterwinner and two-time team captain, Antigua ranks in the top 15 on the Panthers' all-time 3-pointers made (14th with 117 treys), blocked shots (14th with 78 swats) and career 3-point percentage (seventh at 38.6 percent). A 1992 Big East Conference All-Rookie Team pick, Antigua helped lead the Panthers to an 18-16 record and a National Invitation Tournament (NIT) berth as a freshman. The following year, Antigua's Panthers went 17-11 and earned an NCAA Tournament bid. In 1994, he was named the United States Basketball Writers' Association (USBWA)

Coaching Career 2004-08: Pittsburgh, Assistant Coach 2009: Memphis, Assistant Coach 2010: Kentucky, Assistant Coach
Most Courageous Athlete, an honor presented annually to the college basketball player who displays courage on and off the court. Antigua graduated from Pittsburgh with a degree in social sciences in December 1995. After graduation, Antigua was selected to play for the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters, becoming the first player of Latin American descent to play for the squad. Nicknamed "Hurricane" for his dazzling moves, Antigua played with the Globetrotters for seven years until 2002. Antigua also played in the Puerto Rico Superior Basketball League for eight years, and in both 1994-95 and 1997-98, he was a member of the Dominican Republic national team. Because of his dedication to the community, Antigua was named one of the nation's top 100 most influential Hispanic Americans by Hispanic Business magazine. A Dominican Republic native who was raised in Bronx, N.Y., Antigua recovered from a 1988 Halloween incident where he was shot in the head near his left eye. Undeterred by the incident, Antigua quickly returned to the playing court two weeks later and went on to play three seasons at Pittsburgh with the slug in his head. Doctors initially ruled out removing the bullet as being too risky, but Antigua began suffering severe headaches. Antigua's family also went through a period of homelessness. The oldest of three brothers, Antigua was credited with keeping the family together while housing was secured. He overcame these difficulties and went on to serve as student council president at St. Raymond's High School. As a member of the school's basketball squad, Antigua played a major role in the team's New York Catholic League championship run. As a senior, he earned McDonald's All-America and Parade magazine All-America second-team honors and was also named All-New York City. Fluent in Spanish, Antigua and his wife, Dana, have two children; a son, Orlando Anthony, and a daughter, Olivia. 41

ohn Robic is in his second season with the Kentucky basketball program but is a long time associate of UK head coach John Calipari. Beginning with their first season together at UMass in 1988-89, where Robic was an assistant under Calipari, the two are entering their 14th season together. And it seems as if the Calipari-Robic duo is a proven combination for thrilling basketball seasons. Similar to those magical years he assisted in at UMass in the 1990s, Robic helped lead Memphis to the program’s most storied era in school history in four seasons at Memphis (2006-09) as well as helping return Kentucky back among the nation’s elite. Robic helped the Wildcats post a 35-3 mark in his inaugural season at Kentucky. The Cats made an appearance in the 2010 Elite Eight while claiming SEC regular season and tournament championships along the way. He helped UK make history with five Wildcats were drafted in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft. His last four years at Memphis, the Tigers won an NCAA record 137 games (137-14 record), while advancing to the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights, the 2008 NCAA title game and sweeping the 2006-09 Conference USA regular season and tournament crowns. Memphis spent each week of the last four years in the national polls. In 2007-08, Robic was a part of the Tigers’ “Dream Season,” which lasted through the NCAA championship game. Memphis set an NCAA record for victories with 38 wins (382 mark) and held down the No. 1 spot in both national polls for a school-record five-straight weeks during the season. Before 2005-06, Robic directed the Youngstown State program from 1999-2005. Prior to its move to the Horizon League, Youngstown State put together a tremendous year in the Mid-Con in 2000-01, Robic’s second year at the helm. The Penguins posted a 19-11 overall mark and an 11-5 Mid-Con record. The 19 overall wins were the second-

most in 16 seasons, and the 11 league victories tied the school record for most conference wins. Before taking over at Youngstown State, Robic served as an assistant for 11 years at UMass for both Calipari and Bruiser Flint. After a 10-18 mark his first season on staff, Robic helped lead the Minutemen to nineconsecutive winning campaigns. From 1990-96, the Minutemen averaged 26 wins per year and had six-straight 20-win seasons, including two 30-victory campaigns. UMass made the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 1992, Elite Eight in 1995 and Final Four in 1996. It was UMass’ first appearance on college basketball’s largest stage. After Calipari moved on to the NBA, Robic remained at UMass and was elevated to the associate head coach post under Flint from 1997-99. During his tenure at UMass, the Minutemen posted a 247-111 overall record (.690 winning percentage) and earned nine postseason tournament bids (seven NCAA, two NIT). A graduate of North Hills High School in Pittsburgh, Pa., Robic attended Walsh College in Canton, Ohio, before transferring to Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where he earned his B.A. in speech communication and physical education in 1986. At Denison, Robic garnered Division III AllAmerica accolades as a senior and was a two-time all-conference performer. He was one of 10 former players to be named to the 10th Anniversary All-Decade Team in the league in 1994. In the fall of 2006, he was inducted into the Denison Athletic Hall of Fame. Robic was inducted into the North Hills High School Hall of Fame in 2004. Robic and his wife, Heidi, have three daughters, Hayley, Alli and Sophie.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
MITCHBARNHART Director of Athletics (Ninth Year) Ottawa University, 1981
M
itch Barnhart is in his ninth year at the University of Kentucky, with unparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goals for the future. Looking to build on the successes under his direction, Barnhart’s ambitious course for the future was revealed in November 2008 with the 15 by 15 by 15 Plan. The goals are to win at least 15 conference or national championships and rank among the NCAA’s top 15 athletic programs by 2015 – all of which would be unprecedented achievements for UK Athletics – while continuing to expand the department’s service to the commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal is a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500-plus student-athletes on an annual basis. The goal Barnhart set nine years ago to mold an athletics department that competed with integrity, won championships with class and succeeded in the classroom is beginning to come to fruition with the close of the 2009-10 athletics season. UK continued its annual improvement in the Directors’ Cup standings with a finish of 29th place in 2009-10. It was the school’s best showing since Barnhart’s arrival, its top finish since the 1997-98 season and only three slots away from the best mark in school history. The primary academic target was met at the conclusion of the 2010 spring semester as UK’s student-athletes notched a composite 3.04 GPA, the highest semester of the Barnhart era, but Barnhart wants to continue to see academic success and improvement in the future. In addition, UK has consistently posted strong numbers in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate as every one of UK’s 22 varsity sports have avoided penalties in the APR’s six-year existence. Graduation rates, which date back to classes that entered six years ago, are beginning to show the improvement Barnhart emphasized upon his arrival in 2002. Barnhart’s connection to UK student-ath53
letes is evident by his individual interaction and dedication to provide the support services necessary to meet their needs. UK Athletics spends more than $1.5 million annually on its nationally renowned Center for Academic and Tutorial Services. He also began the CATSPYs, an annual awards program that honors the best of UK Athletics. Additional initiatives begun under Barnhart’s leadership include fully funding all 22 varsity sports with maximum number of scholarships and coaches, creating the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the construction of the Joe Craft Center, a $30 million facility that includes practice and administrative space for a variety of sports. Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond the fields of competition. Despite athletics’ urgent financial needs, Barnhart founded a $1.2-million annual contribution to the University’s scholarship program, a donation that was increased to $1.7 million annually in 2009-10. Social responsibility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky also is a priority for Barnhart, who is extremely active in community service and encourages UK athletics staff and student-athletes to do the same. He has been involved on the national level as well and in 2010 will become the chair of the NCAA Basketball Issues Committee. Barnhart arrived at UK from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (19982002) as athletics director. Before OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-83). Barnhart is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a master’s in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. His family includes his wife, Connie, three children, Blaire, Scott, Kirby Willoughby and her husband, McKenzie.

Morehead State Kentucky No. 4/5
59 75
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky freshman Eric Bledsoe scored 24 points while starting in place of John Wall, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats opened the John Calipari era with a 75-59 win over Morehead State on Friday night. Patrick Patterson added 20 points - including his first career 3-pointer - to go with 12 rebounds, and Darnell Dodson scored 15 points as Kentucky (1-0) pulled away in the second half. Kenneth Faried led Morehead State (0-1) with 17 points, but the defending Ohio Valley Conference champions couldn't keep up even with Wall sitting on the bench. The Wildcats turned it over 24 times, made just four of 19 3-pointers and seemed to be indecisive while trying to decide whether to take an open shot or get to the basket. Kentucky led 33-25 at the half and as the Wildcats slogged their way through the opening minutes of the second, the Eagles appeared to flirt - albeit briefly - with pulling a big upset at Rupp. Calipari was brought in to return the blue bloods to greatness, and although he said before the game he wouldn't be surprised if the Wildcats opened 0-5, there was little doubt how much his first night as the coach of college basketball's all-time winningest program meant. He stomped, he pleaded, he cajoled. He called a 30-second timeout after Faried dunked to pull the Eagles within 52-39 with about 9 minutes left, and slammed his fist a couple of times while urging his team to go play ball. Bledsoe, almost an afterthought given all the hype surrounding the supremely talented Wall, wasted little time proving there's more than one freshman guard on the team who can be a blur when the ball is in his hands. During one sequence Bledsoe fed a streaking Patterson for a lay-up, then followed a few moments later with a breathtaking coast-to-coast dash for another easy basket. His best moment came later, when he knifed into the lane, absorbed contact and flipped the ball over his head with his back to the basket. The ball bounced off the rim several times before falling through the net. The sellout crowd roared its approval, and Bledsoe kept them on their feet with another assist to Patterson on Kentucky's next possession. He later hit a fadeaway from 17 feet while falling on his backside, one of his few missteps. Bledsoe walked off the floor to a standing ovation with 1:41 left and received some love from Wall. The two are expected to play alongside each other when the Wildcats play the RedHawks on Monday, part of a lineup that did little to dampen the high expectations set out by one of the country's most demanding fan bases.

Rupp Arena (23,337) Lexington, Ky. • Nov. 16, 2009
Miami (Ohio) Kentucky No. 4/5
70 72
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky coach John Calipari looked up at the clock after Miami of Ohio tied the fourth-ranked Wildcats with six seconds left and wondered if he should call timeout. John Wall didn't give him a chance. The heralded Kentucky freshman quickly grabbed the inbounds pass, raced by his coach in a blur and pulled up from 15 feet. Before Calipari could collect his thoughts, Wall's jumper was through the net to give the Wildcats a 72-70 win Monday night and Kentucky's newest superstar was running down the floor pounding his chest in joy. Wall finished with 19 points and five rebounds in his highly anticipated debut as the Wildcats (2-0) escaped the RedHawks (0-2). He proved to be worth the wait. Wall's heroics prevented Miami from joining Gardner-Webb and Virginia Military Institute as November giant killers at Rupp Arena. After the RedHawks took an 18-point lead in the first half. The only person who didn't seem to panic was Calipari, who said he wanted his talented but inexperienced team to be tested early in the year. It didn't exactly seem like it after Miami's Kenny Hayes hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 70. Yet Wall's heroics spoiled Miami's bid for an upset, not that it seemed to bother coach Charlie Coles. One that wasn't quite enough to pull off another early season stunner at Rupp. Wall got plenty off help in the second half as Kentucky used its size to overcome shoddy ballhandling and questionable shot selection. Patrick Patterson had 17 points and 10 rebounds and DeMarcus Cousins had 10 points and 10 boards for Kentucky, which outrebounded Miami 37-25 and outscored the RedHawks 32-12 in the paint. Nick Winbush led Miami with 26 points and the RedHawks nearly pulled off the upset thanks to making 15 of 26 3-pointers. Wall wasn't perfect - he turned it over five times - but he looked at ease with the ball in his hands and hardly bothered with the hype surrounding his arrival. He didn't waste any time getting comfortable, he drilled his first shot, a 3-pointer from the top of the key, to give Kentucky an early 8-5 lead. Miami packed in its zone to cut off Wall and backcourt mate Eric Bledsoe from getting to the lane and didn't hesitate to lay a body on Wall's slender 6-foot-4 frame. He was bumped nearly every time he got into traffic and received a rude welcome to college basketball while running on the fast break midway through the first half. Miami Univ.

knocked down eight 3-pointers in the first half alone. Some of the shots were flat-out ridiculous, including a double-pump leaning 3-pointer with Wall all over him. Kentucky still managed to lead 53-42 at the half then opened the second half on a 7-0 run to push the lead to 18. Yet they simply couldn't get free. Sam Houston State pulled to 81-73 with 6:58 remaining before one last burst by the Wildcats pushed the lead to 94-77.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- DeMarcus Cousins had 27 points and 18 rebounds to help No. 4 Kentucky outlast Sam Houston State 102-92 on Thursday night in the Cancun Challenge. Patrick Patterson had 20 points and nine boards and John Wall added 21 points and six assists as the Wildcats (3-0) overcame a record-setting shooting performance by the Bearkats (2-1). Sam Houston State (2-1) hung around deep into the second half behind stellar 3-point shooting, led by senior guard Corey Allmond, who poured in 37 points and made a Rupp Arena record 11 3-pointers. The Bearkats made 18 of 38 3-pointers and never let Kentucky get comfortable. The Wildcats survived behind Cousins and Patterson, who had little trouble doing whatever they wanted against the shorter, smaller Bearkats. Kentucky outscored Sam Houston State 48-18 in the paint and held a 4833 advantage on the boards while shooting 60 percent from the floor. Still, it wasn't exactly the kind of crisp performance coach John Calipari was looking for after Kentucky narrowly escaped an upset bid by Miami (Ohio) on Monday. Wall hit a last-second jumper to lift the Wildcats to victory against the RedHawks. There were no such heroics necessary this time, but the joy felt during Wall's dynamic debut was replaced with a sense of unease as Kentucky allowed another opponent to go crazy from behind the arc. Calipari called Miami's performance - the RedHawks made 15 of 26 3-pointers - somewhat of a fluke and said he was "ecstatic" after the Wildcats rallied from an 18-point deficit to win. He wasn't quite so cheery when Kentucky failed to put away the Bearkats, a member of the Southland Conference. The Wildcats never trailed, but the inability to slow down Allmond or get any production from the bench - Kentucky's reserves did not score a single point - left Calipari in a frenzy. He called timeout after timeout hoping to get his team to play with some defensive intensity. It never happened. Allmond simply wouldn't let it. He hardly seemed bothered while being guarded by Wall, considered the top freshman in the country. Allmond

Rider Kentucky No. 4/5
63 92
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Freshman John Wall had 21 points and 11 assists as No. 4 Kentucky dominated Rider 92-63 on Saturday in the Cancun Challenge. Patrick Patterson added 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for the Wildcats (4-0). Kentucky held Rider (2-2) to 31 percent shooting, blocked 10 shots and forced the Broncs into 20 turnovers. Ryan Thompson led Rider with 16 points, but the Broncs couldn't find the shooting stroke that helped them win at Mississippi State last week. Rider made just 4-of-17 3-pointers and was never really in it after Wall took over midway through the first half. The Wildcats allowed 33 3-pointers in narrow escapes over the RedHawks and Bearkats, wins that Calipari said showcased just how far his team has to go. Kentucky appeared to take important strides against the Broncs, who came in knocking down 48 percent of its 3-pointers. Kentucky extended its perimeter defense to prevent the kind of open looks that the RedHawks and Bearkats so easily turned into points. Everyone got involved in stopping the 3. At one point 6-foot-11 center DeMarcus Cousins picked up a foul behind the 3-point line for challenging a shot. Rider didn't make a 3-pointer until Brandon Penn knocked one down from the corner in the first minute of the second half, and by then the

Broncs were trailing by 28. Even that wasn't easy, as Penn fell to the floor after UK center Daniel Orton came flying at him. All the misses led to long rebounds, which allowed Wall to get out on the fast break and show the speed that has some NBA scouts predicting he'll be the top pick in next year's draft. During one stretch in the first half he completed a flawless 360-degree spin in the lane for a layup and followed it up moments later with a steal, a basket and the foul. The prettiest move, however, was a coast-to-coast sprint off a Rider miss in which Wall dribbled the ball between his legs at full speed while switching from his left hand to his right hand. He made the layup while absorbing the contact then knocked down the free-throw to put Kentucky 27-14 with 8:16 to go in the first half. Cousins and fellow freshman center Daniel Orton combined for 32 points and 12 rebounds and Kentucky received plenty of production off the bench after the starters scored all 102 points in the win over Sam Houston State. Kentucky led 51-26 at the break and never let Rider get within 20 points. UK outscored Rider in the paint 56-20 and had 24 second-chance points.

Wall scored a team-high 15 points, including 11 after halftime, as he zipped in and out of the Cleveland State defense. The nation's top-rated recruit last year repeatedly took charge with the ball, drawing trips to the free-throw line or setting up teammates for open looks at the basket. The game was played in unconventional surroundings, with the resort's main ballroom being converted into a makeshift gymnasium. Chandeliers hung from the low ceiling, two electronic scoreboards were connected to the ceiling by wire cables, and a food buffet sat just a few feet off the end of one baseline. Sections of the hardwood floor had gaps several inches wide and the baseline was a jagged line where the floor did not match up. The game was chippy and ragged from the start, with both teams talking trash and officials whistling 24 fouls in the first half. A late 3-pointer by 6-foot-10 forward Josh Harrellson stemmed a late Cleveland State run and gave Kentucky a 35-27 lead at the break. Kentucky (5-0) took control early in the second half when freshman forward DeMarcus Cousins hit a 3 as the shot clock expired, then made five free throws on one possession, aided by an intentional foul called on D'Aundray Brown for grabbing Wall and pulling him to the floor on a breakaway. By the time Cleveland State (3-2) called a timeout with 13:08 remaining, Kentucky had outscored the Vikings 18-4 in the second half to open a 22-point advantage. Cousins was whistled for an technical foul for throwing an intentional elbow at Cleveland State's Jared Cunningham with 3:25 remaining after an official warned Cunningham for shoving Cousins in the back seconds earlier. Kentucky won despite preseason All-American Patrick Patterson finishing with only nine points and five rebounds, both well below his season averages of 19 points and 12.3 rebounds. Patterson played only one minute in the second half but did not appear to have an injury. Cleveland State was led by Brown's 10 points. Cousins added 14 points and seven rebounds for Kentucky.

CANCUN, Mexico -- Once John Wall gained his footing, not even a warped court could slow down Kentucky. The heralded freshman found his form in the second half and proved too much to handle in the open floor as the No. 5 Wildcats raced past Cleveland State 73-49 on Tuesday in the Cancun Challenge at the Moon Palace Resort.

No. 5/5
CANCUN, Mexico -- Freshman sensation John Wall scored a season-best 23 points, including clutch shots in the final minute that sent the game to overtime, and No. 5 Kentucky closed with an eight-point run for a 73-65 victory over gritty Stanford on Wednesday night in the championship game of the Cancun Challenge at the Moon Palace Resort. Playing his fifth college game, Wall capped a big night with a slam dunk at the final horn, setting off a wild celebration by Kentucky players before a crowd of 1,425. Wall hit a 12-foot fadeaway jumper from the right wing to tie the score at 61 with 30.6 seconds remaining in regulation, then two free throws with 2.4 seconds left to send the game to overtime. Fellow freshman Eric Bledsoe made an NBA-length 3-pointer with 33 seconds to go that gave Kentucky a 69-65 lead it did not relinquish. Stanford's Landry Fields was fouled by Ramon Harris during a scramble and hit both ends of a 1-and-1 to give Stanford a 63-61 lead with 28.2 seconds on the clock. The Wildcats opted not to call a timeout and went to freshman forward DeMarcus Cousins, who was fouled on the block. The 53.6 percent free throw shooter missed the first free throw and then the second on purpose, but fouled Stanford's Jarrett Mann on the rebound. Mann, a 53 percent free throw shooter, then missed both of his freethrow attempts, setting up a final flurry. Wall drew a blocking call on Andrew Zimmermann with 2.4 seconds left and calmly swished both free throws to tie it again. Stanford's full-court pass was batted off the backboard by Patrick Patterson and corralled by Wall to send the game to overtime. Wall was the only Kentucky player to get going before the break. The freshman had 15 points but could not do all the heavy lifting with preseason All-American forward Patterson going out of the game less than six minutes in with two fouls. Without Patterson's inside presence the Wildcats struggled to get anything in the paint and shot just 35.5 percent from the field. Patterson got going early in the second half on his way to his 25th career double-double, but he missed two point-blank opportunities on the same possession that would have given Kentucky its first lead since late in the first half with just over 10 minutes left. He made up for it later, using a power post move to give Kentucky a 54-53 lead with 6:42 to play. It was only the third meeting between the schools and first since the 1998 NCAA tournament semifinals. Kentucky won that showdown 86-85 in overtime on its way to its seventh - and most recent - national championship.

Freedom Hall (15,368) Louisville, Ky. • Nov. 30, 2009
UNC Asheville Kentucky No. 5/4
57 94
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- DeMarcus Cousins scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead No. 5 Kentucky to an easy 94-57 win over UNCAsheville on Monday night. John Wall added 12 points and a school freshman-record 14 assists, while Patrick Patterson had 17 points and nine boards as the Wildcats (7-0) cruised during their annual appearance at Freedom Hall. Kentucky had little trouble getting out on the break, where Wall dazzled with a series of alley-oop passes to his teammates while adding a couple of highlight-reel dunks himself. During a 29-6 burst midway through the 2nd half the Wildcats converted five straight dunks - all on alley-oop passes from Wall. UK came in averaging 18.6 turnovers a game, a number coach John Calipari attributed to his team's inexperience as it learns his "dribble-drive" offense. The Wildcats gave it away just eight times against the Bulldogs while handing out 28 assists on 36 field goals. Following a series of early season scares - including an overtime escape against Stanford in the Cancun Challenge finals last week - Kentucky played with the kind of dominance Calipari said would come as soon as his young squad started figuring things out. The Wildcats certainly looked like they "got it" when Wall was on the floor. He looked for his teammates early and only tried to shoot when the opportunity was too good to pass up. He kept feeding Cousins in the second half in an effort to help the freshman center shake off a somewhat lackluster performance in Mexico. Cousins had his way with the Bulldogs in the lane as Kentucky used its size to outrebound UNC-Asheville 44-31. UK found plenty of easy looks to go around and connected on 52 pct. The Bulldogs at least got off to a better start than they did against Tennessee, when they made just two field goals in the first half while falling behind the Volunteers by 52 at the break. UNC-Asheville had 2 baskets by the first media timeout, though the Bulldogs were never really in danger of making it a game. Wall did his best to provide a little entertainment for what figures to be his only game at Freedom Hall during his collegiate career. He threw down a wicked reverse dunk on a break and followed it up moments later with another slam after a steal. UNC-Asheville's Primm didn't even bother chasing down the court, trotting once Wall got behind him as the Kentucky star swooped in for the jam. Wall wasn't perfect, however, botching an alley-oop pass from Miller, one of the few miscues on a night when UK hardly worked up a significant sweat while matching their best start since 2004.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- John Wall bounced back from a bout with dehydration and a queasy encounter with an IV drip to finish with 16 points including the clinching free throws with 4.3 seconds left - to lift the No. 5 Wildcats to a 68-66 victory over the 10th-ranked Tar Heels on Saturday. Wall dominated at times while helping the Wildcats (8-0) build a 19point first-half lead,then spent 20 anxious minutes in the training room after cramping up. It took a couple of bottles of Gatorade and a bit of teeth grinding by Wall to get back on the floor. Kentucky inched closer to becoming the first program to reach 2,000 victories thanks to some clutch free throw shooting by Wall and fellow freshman Eric Bledsoe. The duo combined to make 5 of 6 in the final 30 seconds after the Tar Heels pulled within 63-61. Consider North Carolina coach Roy Williams convinced, particularly after the Wildcats took control with an explosive 28-2 run in the first half. "You've got to give them congratulations, they really kicked our butts," Williams said. "They just ran us out of the gym." The Wildcats snapped a five-game losing streak to the Tar Heels. Forward Patrick Patterson provided some of the grit, finishing with 19 points and seven rebounds to help UK off to its best start since 1992-93, when the Wildcats won their first 11 games. Deon Thompson led North Carolina with 14 points and Will Graves added 13. After Thompson's jumper from the corner pulled North Carolina within 63-61, Bledsoe shook off several late-game miscues to knock down a pair of free throws. After Graves missed a 3-pointer and the rebound bounced out off bounds, Bledsoe made one of two to make it 66-61. A tip-in by Thompson pulled Carolina to 66-63, but Wall finished his breakout performance by calmly sinking two free throws with 4.3 seconds left. Graves hit a meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer, and by then the Wildcats bench had poured onto the floor to celebrate. Calipari said before the game he was anxious to see how his team responded when it got "punched in the mouth," and still refused to say college basketball's winningest program is back. The win provided redemption of sorts for Wall, a native of Raleigh, N.C., who grew up wanting to play for the Tar Heels. Though North Carolina pursued him throughout high school, the Tar Heels never offered

Madison Square Garden (15,874) New York, N.Y. • Dec. 9, 2009
Kentucky No. 4/4 UConn No. 14/12
64 61
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- John Wall has played nine games for Kentucky. His latest was his best - and the end of this one showed the freshman guard is as good as advertised. Wall scored a season-high 25 points, including 12 of his team's last 15, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats beat No. 14 Connecticut 64-61 on Wednesday night in the SEC/Big East Invitational. What made Wall's performance in his first appearance in Madison Square Garden even more remarkable is that he was saddled with foul trouble in the first half before dominating the game over the final 7 1/2 minutes - even when Connecticut made a defensive switch that slowed him down for a few possessions. The Wildcats (9-0) moved John Calipari closer to one of the icons at the school that has more wins (1,997) than any other program. The only coach to have a better start to his career at Kentucky was Adolph Rupp, who started 10-0 in 1931. Jerome Dyson had 17 points for the Huskies (6-2), who finished 1424 from the free throw line, including 2-4 in the final 3 minutes. After a first half of runs and big swings, neither team had a lead of more than five points over the final 7 minutes. Wall’s three-point play on a breakaway dunk gave the Wildcats a 5447 lead with 7:16 left. Stanley Robinson, Connecticut's skywalking forward, finally became a factor for the Huskies, scoring six straight points. When Gavin Edwards scored on a break dunk with 4:24 to play, Connecticut was within 56-55 with 4:24 to go. Walker, who had 12 points and six assists, gave the Huskies their final

lead of the game on a jumper with 1:12 left. Wall, who was slowed a bit when Calhoun switched the 6-9 Robinson on him for five possessions, put Kentucky ahead for good on a three-point play when he was fouled hard as he drove to the basket - making it 63-61 with 30 seconds left. Connecticut called two timeouts then went for the tie as Walker drove and there was a tip by the Huskies as well. But Walker was forced to foul on the rebound, and Ramon Harris made one of two free throws with 13 seconds left. Edwards missed a forced 3-point attempt, and Walker couldn't get a shot off from the corner in time after corralling the rebound. Patterson had 16 points for Kentucky, and DeMarcus Cousins added 10 points and 10 rebounds. There were two totally different halves played in front of the crowd of 15,874, which seemed split down the middle. Kentucky opened the game with a 12-0 run, and the Huskies scored the next 10 points as part of a run that gave them a 26-18 lead on a drive by Walker with 6:30 left.

Kentucky Indiana
No. 4/4
90 73
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana took its best shot at No. 4 Kentucky on Saturday. The Wildcats retaliated with a shrug and a knockout punch in a 90-73 victory. John Wall got the offense in sync, setting up a decisive 18-0 secondhalf run that gave the Wildcats their first win in Bloomington since 1981. It was just what Kentucky coach John Calipari thought his team needed. The Wildcats are 10-0, off to their best start since 1992-93, and Calipari has matched the best start for a first-year Kentucky coach since Adolph Rupp in 1930-31. Kentucky moved within two wins of becoming the first Division I school with 2,000 all-time victories, and perhaps more importantly to Calipari, proved they could fight back when challenged.

Wall, the freshman with the mesmerizing moves, adapted by doing more of the dirty work Saturday. He finished with 11 points, eight below his average, eight assists and seven rebounds. Another freshman, Eric Bledsoe, led Kentucky with 23 points, including four 3-pointers, and junior forward Patrick Patterson was his usual self, scoring 19 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. It was Patterson's fifth double-double of the season. Not surprisingly, the game between the border rivals came with some new twists. Though the fans fed the Hoosiers energy, the distractions couldn't prevent Kentucky from its eighth win in the last 10 meetings in the series. The teams have been playing on an annual basis but played 15 straight years on neutral courts in Indianapolis and Louisville before going to back to home courts in 2006. Freshman Maurice Creek scored a season-high 31 points and hit five 3s for Indiana. Nobody else scored more than seven points, and IU was outrebounded 49-24 overall, 21-8 on the offensive end. In fact, the Hoosiers led for the first half of the first half, right until Patterson missed the second of two free throws, Darius Miller grabbed the rebound and Bledsoe hit a 10-foot fallaway on the baseline to make it 2119 with 9:33 left. The Wildcats then extended the lead to 38-30. After Jeremiah Rivers made a nifty driving layup to give Indiana a 4847 lead, Wall scored on an athletic alley-oop dunk. Kentucky then hit a 3 or converted three-point plays on four of their next five scoring possessions to make it 65-48.

Austin Peay Kentucky No. 3/3
69 90
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Patrick Patterson scored 21 points, including nine during a decisive second-half run, and No. 3 Kentucky beat Austin Peay 90-69 on Saturday. John Wall added 17 points and six assists while DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Wildcats (11-0), who moved within one victory of becoming the first college basketball program to reach 2,000. Wesley Channels led the Govs (7-5) with 21 points but Austin Peay couldn't keep up once Patterson got going. The junior forward took control during a 12-0 run midway through the second half that gave Kentucky an 82-61 lead. The win pushed Kentucky coach John Calipari past Adolph Rupp in the school record book for the best start by a first-year head coach. Rupp won his first 10 games in 1931. Austin Peay cut a 16-point deficit to 49-43 early in the second half on a play in which even Wall looked human. Wall got tangled up with Austin Peay's Caleb Anthony at midcourt, with Anthony coming out with the ball while Wall writhed on the ground in pain. Wall rolled on the floor for a couple of anxious moments before limping to the bench. He returned a couple of minutes later, but was sent back to the bench after sustaining a cut over his left eye while driving to the basket. Trainers hastily put a bandage over Wall's eye and he appeared to have no problem with it. Patterson started the run with a layup off a nice pass from Daniel Orton, then added the free throw after getting fouled. His two most spectacular points of the day came moments later thanks to a little bit of adlibbing by Wall. Eric Bledsoe was leading the Kentucky break when he hit a streaking Wall for what appeared to be an alley-oop. Wall had other ideas, touching the ball to Patterson for a dunk. Patterson added a tip-in on Kentucky's next possession and Darnell Dodson followed with a 3-pointer to push it to 80-61 before Patterson capped the run with a pair of free throws. The crowd stirred when Liggins made his way to the scorer's table 6 minutes in, then roared when he was introduced, perhaps a nod to Liggins' perseverance. Liggins didn't waste any time making an impact. He tipped in Wall's miss to give the Wildcats an 18-11 lead, then had a 3-pointer roll out moments later. The boost helped Kentucky take a 49-35 halftime lead, and the Wildcats used their size to keep it intact. They outscored Austin Peay 44-16 in the paint, 26-16 on second-chance points and made all 18 free throws.

Rupp Arena (24,354) Lexington, Ky. • Dec. 21, 2009
Drexel Kentucky
44 88
No. 3/3
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky's 2,000th victory looked awfully familiar. DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson scored 18 points apiece and the third-ranked Wildcats became the first team in NCAA history to reach the 2,000-win plateau with an 88-44 romp over Drexel on Monday night. Kentucky improved to 2,000-635-1 in 107 seasons. North Carolina is next on the list with 1,992 wins while Kansas has 1,980. "We weren't a part of many of those 2,000 wins and we had a job to do and that was drag us across the line before that other blue team got there," coach John Calipari said. "This is a special moment for this program and this state." Samme Givens led Drexel (6-6) with 11 points, but the Dragons shot just 31 percent from the field and spent most of the game as invited guests to Kentucky's celebration. The first win was an 11-10 squeaker over the Lexington YMCA on Feb. 18, 1903. It took Kentucky 66 years to reach 1,000 victories. Students celebrated the milestone with cake alongside legendary coach Adolph Rupp at Memorial Coliseum in 1969. This party was a little bigger. Confetti showered the court moments after the final buzzer while players donned black T-shirts commemorating the occasion. The Wildcats needed just 40 years to reach the next millennium, a ride that included three national titles and a recruiting scandal under former coach Eddie Sutton. The program was revived under Rick Pitino during the 1990s, and for the last few years Kentucky's march toward 2,000 seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Before a crowd that included Gov. Steve Beshear, former coach Joe B. Hall and program luminaries like Kenny Walker and Jamal Mashburn, Kentucky dominated from the opening tip. The Wildcats shot 53 pct, outrebounded Drexel 45-22 and didn't let up until the lead neared 50 midway through the second half. Wall did a little bit of everything, finding Cousins for open baskets early as the Wildcats raced to a quick 15-3 lead, then showing his breathtaking ability in the open court as Kentucky pulled away. He scored the last six points of the half, all on layups, all with a relatively high degree of difficulty, including one in which he wrapped the ball behind his back from his left hand to his right hand at full speed before putting it in off the glass. The Wildcats led 56-20 at the break. When Patterson opened the second half with a 3-pointer, the crowd started holding up signs like "UK2K" and counting the minutes until the program's spot in the history books was secure.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky coach John Calipari knew the hangover was coming. And he knew he couldn't stop it. So rather than yell and scream after the third-ranked Wildcats slogged through the first 20 minutes against Long Beach State on Wednesday, less than 48 hours after celebrating the program's 2,000th win, Calipari simply challenged his players to shake it off. The Wildcats took control late for a gritty if not exactly pretty 86-73 win, wearing down the 49ers in the second half to continue the program's best start in more than 30 years. "We were able to grind it out, execute it to a T down the stretch," Calipari said. The Wildcats (13-0) had to after the 49ers kept hanging around. Long Beach State (6-6) pulled within 58-55 with just over 11 minutes remaining before Kentucky finally asserted itself behind freshmen stars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. Wall finished with 19 points while Cousins shook off early foul trouble to score 15 points and grab 10 rebounds in his sixth double-double of the season. Cousins played just over two minutes in the first half after getting a personal foul and a technical foul after getting tangled up with Long Beach's Larry Anderson. Cousins spent the rest of the half watching from the bench, and was soon joined by Wall and junior forward Patrick Patterson. Even when the trio returned to start the second half, it took time for Kentucky to assume control. Long Beach even took the lead 46-44 on a putback by T.J. Robinson before the Wildcats started to wake up. Eric Bledsoe, playing on a sore ankle, hit a 3-pointer to put Kentucky ahead, and Wall followed with a couple of free throws. The 49ers rallied to tie it at 51 before Kentucky's defense started to wear on them. Long Beach was playing its second game in just over 36 hours, having taken the redeye on Monday night following an 85-80 overtime loss to Loyola Marymount. Long Beach went to a zone in hopes of saving its legs, but Wall exploited it for a 3-pointer that put Kentucky up 73-62, and Cousins followed

Technical: L.Anderson, TEAM (LBSU); D.Cousins (UK) LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Freshman point guard John Wall set a school record with 16 assists and No. 3 Kentucky crushed Hartford 104-61 on Tuesday night. Wall added nine points and four rebounds as the Wildcats matched their best start in 32 seasons. Wall broke the record of 15 assists, set by Travis Ford against Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 8, 1993, on a pass to Perry Stevenson that put Kentucky up 97-56. The Wildcats shot 60 percent from the field and made 14 3-pointers. Darnell Dodson scored a season-high 19 points for Kentucky while DeMarcus Cousins posted his third straight double-double with 19 points and 12 boards. Joe Zeglinski led Hartford (2-10) with 19 points and Milton Burton added 18. The Hawks, who hadn't played in 18 days, were simply overmatched from the opening tip and spent most of the game as bystanders as Wall went to work. Hartford managed to hang around briefly before Kentucky hit the gas

pedal with a dizzying 18-2 run that featured plenty of highlight-ready plays. Cousins started the run with a dunk off an alley-oop from Wall. Dodson followed with a 3-pointer and after Cousins hit two free throws things really got out of hand. Kentucky's next four field goals all came on dunks, three of them on alley-oops. The most spectacular came courtesy of Wall, who took a feed from Darius Miller, plucked the ball out of midair and twisted his body for a reverse dunk that brought the sellout crowd to his feet. Kentucky roared to the half up 57-31 and the only drama over the final 20 minutes was Wall's pursuit of the assist record. He didn't disappoint. He drew within one before Kentucky coach John Calipari took him out with about 12 minutes to go. He returned with 7:53 remaining, tied Ford's record on a basket by Josh Harrellson then broke it a few moments later when he found Stevenson at the top of the key. The crowd erupted as Stevenson's jumper splashed through the net. Wall received a standing ovation as he made his way to the bench at the next timeout while the student section chanted his name.

Technical: Hartford - TEAM LEXINGTON, Ky. -- DeMarcus Cousins scored 18 points and matched a season-high with 18 rebounds to lead No. 3 Kentucky past rival Louisville 71-62 on Saturday. Patrick Patterson and John Wall added 17 points each for the Wildcats (15-0), who matched their best start in 40 years by breaking a twogame losing streak to the Cardinals.

but the Cardinals shot just 32 percent and couldn't contain Wall when it mattered. The freshman star shook off a slow start by scoring six straight points during a decisive 14-3 run late in the second half after the Cardinals had surged to the lead. He hit a tough leaner along the baseline to put Kentucky back in front then added a pull-up jumper to extend the lead to three. He stripped the ball from Louisville's Peyton Siva and knocked down a pair of free throws after being fouled trying to finish on the break. Perry Stevenson added a reverse layup, Ramon Harris drilled a 3pointer and Patrick Patterson converted a three-point play to give Kentucky a 55-45 lead with 5:35 to go. The teams combined for 51 personal fouls - including five technicals - and 37 turnovers in a game that made up for in passion what it lacked in precise play. The Wildcats were whistled for a pair of fouls on Louisville's first possession, the calls kick starting a series of trash talking shoving matches that kept the referees busy. Things grew more heated moments later when Cousins and Louisville forward Jared Swopshire got tangled up battling for a loose ball. Louisville's Reginald Delk came over and gave Cousins a push while Swopshire tried to wiggle free. All three players received technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct. Cousins stayed in the game long enough to score Kentucky's first six points as the Wildcats swarmed the shaky Cardinals into bad shots and turnovers. Louisville missed 18 of its first 19 shots and looked overwhelmed by the electric atmosphere. Kentucky led just 27-19 at the break before Louisville briefly got into a rhythm behind Sosa and Smith. Yet it wasn't enough as the smaller Cardinals wore down over the final 7 minutes against the tallest team in the country. The Wildcats outscored Louisville 40-24 in the paint, with Cousins dominating his matchup with Louisville center Samardo Samuels. Samuels finished with nine points and nine rebounds, turned it over three times and was muscled out of the way by Cousins.

No. 3/3
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- No. 3 Kentucky needed its Freshman center, DeMarcus Cousins to hold off Georgia Saturday. Cousins scored seven of his 16 points in the final 3 minutes as the Wildcats stayed unbeaten with a gritty 76-68 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday. Cousins kept his emotions in check against Georgia, staying under control despite spending most of his 25 minutes on the floor wrestling underneath the basket with the handful of Bulldogs charged with stopping him. Calipari rewarded Cousins' newfound maturity with the ball. The Wildcats fed it to him constantly over the final minutes, and he responded by scoring seven straight points, including the game-clinching lay-up with 36 seconds left. So was Patrick Patterson, who finished with 17 points. Freshman superstar John Wall also had 17 for the Wildcats, who moved to 16-0 for the first time since winning their first 23 games in 1965-66. It wasn't easy. There were 12 lead changes and nine ties as Georgia hung around despite turning it over 26 times against Kentucky's unrelenting press. The Bulldogs (8-6, 0-1 SEC) nearly pulled off their second straight upset behind a season-high 20 points from Travis Leslie and 17 points and 13 rebounds from Trey Thompkins. Georgia knocked off No. 20 Georgia Tech on Tuesday, but couldn't duplicate the feat against the Wildcats. Kentucky wore the Bulldogs down over the final 6 minutes, limiting them to six points and forcing six turnovers. Kentucky wasn't much better. The Wildcats made just 2 of 14 3-point attempts for the second straight game, and Calipari criticized a lack of production from his bench. Kentucky's reserves had just nine points. Cousins' heroics didn't appear to be necessary early. The Wildcats quickly built an 11-point lead and appeared to be on cruise control in front of a capacity crowd that included movie star Ashley Judd and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Georgia, however, didn't back down. Borrowing a page from Louisville, the Bulldogs opted to get physical with the Wildcats. Georgia bumped, grabbed and nudged Wall wherever he went. The Bulldogs did the same to Cousins, as Albert Jackson, Chris Barnes and Jeremy Price all fouled out trying to keep the Wildcats in check. The win was the 62nd straight conference victory for Calipari. The first 61 game while he was helping Memphis run roughshod over the Conference USA.

O’Connell Center (12,618) Gainesville, Fla. • Jan. 12, 2010
Kentucky Florida
89 77
No. 2/2
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Attention, SEC. Kentucky has a freshman point guard capable of beating teams in a variety of ways. And it's not John Wall. Eric Bledsoe scored a career-high 25 points, getting to the rim, hitting 3-pointers and making just about everything in between to help the second-ranked Wildcats stay unbeaten with an 89-77 victory over Florida on Tuesday night. Wall was no slouch, either. He finished with 19 points despite missing six of seven from 3-point range. Patrick Patterson added 15 points and seven rebounds for the Wildcats (17-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference), who ended the game with a 17-5 run and snapped a five-game losing streak in Gainesville. Erving Walker led Florida with 20 points, and Alex Tyus added 17. But the Gators (11-5, 0-2) are off to their worst start in conference play since ‘96-- the year before coach Billy Donovan took over. Kentucky built a 55-40 lead, but couldn't close it out--something that's starting to become a trend for coach John Calipari's team. Kentucky watched a double-digit lead slip away Saturday against Georgia. This time, Walker did most of the damage. He hit two 3-pointers and two free throws, then Kenny Boynton got loose on a fast break that whittled Kentucky's lead to 61-54 with about 12 minutes to play. Clearly feeling it, Walker hit two more 3s--on consecutive possessions--a few minutes later. Vernon Macklin rattled home a layup that made it 68-66 with 7:59 remaining. UF tied the game at 72 on Macklin's putback with 5:13 left. Patterson put the Cats back ahead with a turnaround jumper in the lane. He failed to convert the three-point play, but DeMarcus Cousins gathered the rebound. Darnell Dodson then hit a 3. Bledsoe added to the pain with another 3 on the next possession that put Kentucky ahead 80-73 with 3:58 to play. Kentucky shot 51 percent from the field and made 7 of 18 from 3point range. Florida was much less effective. Donovan's squad shot 38 percent from the floor and hit 8 of 27 from behind the arc. The Gators struggled even more on the defensive end. Bledsoe, Wall and Patterson proved to be the toughest matchups. Bledsoe was 10 of 13 shooting and added seven rebounds and five assists. Wall torched the Gators on the break and finished with six assists. Patterson was 7 of 11 shooting and had seven boards. Kentucky dominated the first half after Florida scored the first seven points. Macklin dropped in a hook shot in the lane, Boynton made a layup and then Tyus drained the first 3-pointer of his career. It was all Kentucky the rest of the way. The Wildcats scored at will in the paint, were bigger and faster on the perimeter, and would have had a double-digit lead if not for a few improbable shots from the Gators. Tyus, who had taken just one 3 in his first 87 college games, hit another one from behind the arc and then Boynton banked in a 3. Kentucky (17-0, 2-0) 15 Cousins f 54 Patterson f 01 Miller g

two in three days. The Tigers were routed 81-55 Thursday night at No. 9 Tennessee, but followed with a much stronger showing. It was another close call for Kentucky, the fifth time the Wildcats have won either by five points or less or in overtime. Kentucky committed 16 turnovers but shot 51 percent and capitalized at the free throw line. UK made 23 of 35 free throws. All but eight came in the first half, when Kentucky built a 39-26 lead. Auburn shot 29 percent in the half and was outrebounded 27-14. Auburn bounced back to hit 16 of 29 shots in the second half.

AUBURN, Ala. -- John Wall and No. 2 Kentucky were making youthful mistakes, and taking another team's best shot. Wall hit two free throws with 8.9 seconds left to finish off a sometimes shaky performance and help Kentucky remain unbeaten with a 72-67 victory over Auburn on Saturday. The Wildcats (18-0, 3-0 SEC) had a 13-point halftime lead wiped out and Wall, the heralded freshman, had six second-half turnovers. But Wall's clutch foul shots secured Calipari's 52nd consecutive victory in a regular-season conference game at Memphis and Kentucky, breaking UK legend Adolph Rupp's NCAA record. DeWayne Reed cut Kentucky's lead to 70-67 with two free throws with 1:08 left, then Eric Bledsoe missed an open 3-pointer and the ball went out of bounds to Auburn with 37 seconds to play. Reed missed a 3 after taking a handoff from Lucas Hargrove, and UK’s DeAndre Liggins grabbed the rebound and was fouled. UK inbounded the ball to Wall, who was fouled and made the free throws that continued the program's best start in 44 years. A game the youthful Wildcats led by 19 points late in the first half became about self-preservation. The Wildcats had shut down Auburn after Frankie Sullivan's 3-pointer tied it at 60 with 8:23 left. The Tigers went 4 minutes without scoring as Kentucky used stingy defense to overcome some missed drives and turnovers. DeMarcus Cousins, a native of Mobile, had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots in his first game back in his home state. He was 5 of 6 from the field and 6 of 10 from the line. Wall finished with 13 points and four assists. He gave a slight smile after hitting his first free throw in the final seconds to make it a two-possession game, then calmly made his second. Fellow freshman Eric Bledsoe, who is from Birmingham, also had 13 points, while Patterson finished with 12. Reed led Auburn with 19 points and six assists despite missing his first 10 shots. He kept firing away, taking 25 shots and making seven. Sullivan made 3 of 5 3-point attempts and scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half. Lucas Hargrove added 10 points. Auburn has lost 11 straight games against top 10 teams, including

Arkansas Kentucky No. 2/2
70 101
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Less than three months into his first season coaching the nation's all-time winningest program, John Calipari is poised to make good on his pledge to return Kentucky basketball to "its rightful place at the top of the mountain." Any old win Saturday likely would have restored No. 2 Kentucky to the top of The Associated Press poll for the first time since 2003. However, the Wildcats got a dominating one, cruising 101-70 past Arkansas and former UK alumnus John Pelphrey. By keeping alive the nation's only unblemished record, the Wildcats (19-0, 4-0 SEC) are almost certain to be No. 1 in the polls on Monday. This one was practically over by tipoff. Kentucky scored the game's first 10 points, stretched the lead to 30 by halftime, then added the first 14 points of the second half. With that much margin for error, the Wildcats easily avoided the kind of second-half letdown that made recent wins over Georgia and Auburn much closer than anticipated. Arkansas (8-11, 1-3) did make an 18-3 run midway through the second half, but by that time, Kentucky had plenty of cushion to withstand it. The Wildcats' largest lead was 46 after Wall hit a jumper with 14 minutes left. The Razorbacks got it no closer than 92-62 with under 4 minutes

to go. Courtney Fortson scored 21 points to lead Arkansas, but it wasn't nearly enough to keep up with the Wildcats' scoring barrage. The Wildcats ended the first half and began the second on a 21-0 run, including a 3-pointer by Ramon Harris at the halftime buzzer and later consecutive 3s by Miller. Among the many stars for Kentucky was DeMarcus Cousins, who finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds, securing his 10th double-double just seconds into the second half. He probably would have gotten it even sooner but was sidelined for all but nine minutes of the first half with two chipped teeth. He was taken to UK Medical Center following the game for evaluation. For the most part, the Wildcats relied on athleticism - not luck - to overpower the Razorbacks. It was Kentucky's third 100-point effort of the season and first in SEC play. The win gave Calipari a 65th consecutive victory against conference foes, including conference tournament games, breaking the previous NCAA record set by former UK coach Adolph Rupp from 1945-50.

no less a fan than President Barack Obama earlier Tuesday to keep their focus and play with the same passion that brought them to the top. The president or Kentucky didn't count on Downey, the SEC's leading scorer to break the 30-point mark for the fourth time in six league games for South Carolina (12-8, 3-3). It has been UK youngsters such as John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins that have fueled the program's best start in 44 years. South Carolina showed there's still a place for a couple of smart, savvy senior guards such as Downey and Brandis Raley-Ross. Raley-Ross had 17 points, the most he's scored in an SEC game this season as USC won its third straight over Kentucky. The president said as much earlier Tuesday when he called to congratulate the Wildcats on raising more than $1 million to help earthquake victims in Haiti, reminding Kentucky that South Carolina was a difficult place to play. DeMarcus Cousins matched his career best of 27 points to lead Kentucky, which had been the nation's last unbeaten team. Downey and the Gamecocks would not be stopped - even after Wall and Cousins seemed to take things over. The pair combined for 13 points during a 14-3 run midway through the second half that put the Wildcats up 47-42. That's when Downey took over. South Carolina's senior had a three-point play and two foul shots to tie it up. Downey had another three-point play with 4:06 left to give the Gamecocks the lead for good at 54-51. Wall's three-point play with 40.1 seconds left brought Kentucky within 62-61. But Raley-Ross followed with two free throws to restore the edge. Cousins had 12 rebounds to go along with his points, which tied his best performance set earlier this season against Sam Houston. Cousins said the Wildcats needed to learn from their mistakes in time to reach their ultimate goals. The Wildcats were ragged and out of sync. They were outrebounded 41-35 by the Gamecocks. They missed from close range, Darnell Dodson even missed an all-by-himself layup after a midcourt steal. Wall was 6 of 16 from the field with four of Kentucky's 15 turnovers. Wall ended with 19 points. No Wildcat could corral Downey. While the Gamecocks' senior didn't have his shooting touch (9 of 29), he went 10 of 11 at the free throw line.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Top-ranked Kentucky found out it's got some growing up to do. And college basketball will most likely find a new No. 1. Devan Downey scored 30 points and South Carolina sent Kentucky to its first loss of the season 68-62 on Tuesday night.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- John Wall raised his arms, waited for the long pass from teammate Eric Bledsoe then rose up for a dunk. The heralded Kentucky freshman screamed as he landed, then added a sly little smile before racing back on defense. Turns out all Wall needed to break out of his funk was a couple of dunks and perhaps his best all-around game in weeks. Wall finished with 17 points and seven assists in 36 steady minutes to lead the fourth-ranked Wildcats to an 85-75 victory over No. 25 Mississippi on Tuesday night. DeMarcus Cousins posted his fifth straight double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, Darnell Dodson added 14 points and Patrick Patterson had 12 points and six boards for the Wildcats. It was certainly better than he's shown in recent weeks. After a scintillating start to the season in which he became a media darling, Wall's numbers have tailed off recently. He came in averaging 16.2 points on 39 percent shooting in SEC play, hardly terrible but not exactly up to the ridiculously high standards Wall had set for himself. Wall wasn't perfect against the Rebels, turning it over four times, but he showed a knack for controlling the tempo. He pushed the pace when necessary but also smartly backed off the throttle when the situation called for it. Terrico White led Mississippi with 19 points and Chris Warren added 15 but the Rebels missed freshman big man Reginald Buckner, who sat out his 2nd straight game with a sprained ankle. Mississippi certainly could have used Buckner's presence. Kentucky shot 50 percent from the field and outscored the Rebels 44-30 in the paint. Kentucky used an early 15-0 burst to build a 27-9 lead. Mississippi recovered behind White and Eniel Polynice, pulling within 46-37 at halftime. Calipari felt the lead should have been larger, but 11 turnovers allowed the Rebels to hang around. Dodson hit two 3-pointers early in the second half to help UK extend the lead to 58-41, though Mississippi managed one last burst, pulling within 60-57 on a basket by White with 13:55 to play. Cousins started Kentucky's game-clinching 11-2 run with a putback. Darius Miller then knocked down a 3-pointer before Cousins took a charge. Patterson nailed a 3-pointer then added a three-point play as the Wildcats went back in front 71-59. Ole Miss never got back within single digits, and Wall capped his night with a three to put Kentucky up 80-62 with 4:05 remaining. He walked off the court to a standing ovation, and received another one when he came back onto the court for a postgame radio appearance as the crowd exhaled with Kentucky's star apparently back in his coach's good graces.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- DeMarcus Cousins posted his 12th double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds as No. 1 Kentucky bounced back from an upset loss to South Carolina with a 85-72 win over No. 21 Vanderbilt on Saturday. Darnell Dodson added 16 points in a rare start for the Wildcats (201, 5-1 SEC), who played like the nation's top-ranked team for long stretches in front of special guest LeBron James. Kentucky built an early 19-point lead then made it hold up while James, a friend of coach John Calipari, watched from courtside. Jermaine Beal led the Commodores (16-4, 5-1) with 19 points, but Vanderbilt couldn't pull off its second road upset of the week in a physical, whistle-plagued game that featured 58 fouls. Kentucky regained its focus against the Commodores, hardly bothered by the presence of James, who created a buzz when he made his entrance a few minutes in. By then the Wildcats already had the lead thanks to Cousins. The freshman converted four three-point plays in the first eight minutes, destroying whatever defense Vanderbilt threw his way. When the Commodores tried to double-team, Cousins would spin toward the baseline for an easy basket or throw the pass to an open teammate for a jumper - the latest facet in his quickly developing game. And there were good looks aplenty for the Wildcats, who made 12 of 23 3-point attempts and dominated the boards, outrebounding Vanderbilt 41-22, leading to 20 second-chance points. John Wall finished with 13 points, nine assists and seven turnovers in 34 minutes. He shot just 4 of 12 from the field as the Commodores did a fantastic job of keeping Kentucky out of transition. The Wildcats failed to score a fast break basket for the first time in memory. Not that it mattered. Kentucky needed less than 10 minutes to build a double-digit lead and this time made it hold up, a sign of progress for a team that Calipari has consistently chastised for relaxing too much when it gets comfortably ahead. Vanderbilt, which won on the road at No. 14 Tennessee on Wednesday, fell to 7-15 all-time against the No. 1 team. Nearly half of those losses have come at Rupp Arena. Dodson knocked down four 3-pointers in just his second start of the season, Eric Bledsoe added 13 points and seven rebounds and Patrick Patterson had 12 points and four boards for the Wildcats. Kentucky led 49-34 at the break, but the Commodores collected themselves to keep things mildly interesting.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Kentucky didn't have one of its best games Saturday. The Wildcats (No. 3 ESPN/USA Today, No. 4 AP) didn't need it to cruise past LSU. The Wildcats started slow, trailing 6-1 4:29 into the game. But they went on a 22-0 run in the first half to take control and pulled away to an 81-55 victory. Freshman DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 13 rebounds, his sixth straight double-double. Cousins, who played only 20 minutes, is eighth in the country in doubles-doubles with 14 and 24th in the nation in rebounding. Cousins said they were hard earned against LSU. The Wildcats (22-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) ended the early drought when John Wall, another freshman star, hit a jumper for their first field goal. They needed only 3 minutes to erase LSU's lead, scoring 41 of the next 49 points to take a 42-14 halftime lead. Patrick Patterson had 16 points for Kentucky and Eric Bledsoe, the third freshman starter, added 10. The Tigers limited Wall to a season-low six points on 2-of-9 shooting. It marked only the second time that Wall failed to reach double figures this season. "The guys on Kentucky's team are absolute animals, Cousins, Patterson, all of them are physical," LSU guard Bo Spencer said. "They are big and wide, they're hard to get around." LSU (9-14, 0-9) shot less than 19 percent from the field in the first half and finished at 26.7 percent overall (21 of 66). Spencer led LSU with 25 points, 19 in the second half, but he had seven turnovers. Tasmin Mitchell added 10 points. The margin of defeat matched LSU's biggest of the season. LSU lost to Connecticut by the same score in the NIT Season Tipoff in November. LSU, which won the conference last season, is still searching for its first league victory in this one. The Tigers played scrappy defense, but had a hard time slowing down the much bigger and faster Wildcats, who average 82.4 points a game. Kentucky outscored LSU 34-14 in the paint and allowed the Tigers no second-chance or fast-break points. Kentucky outrebounded LSU 53-31 UK led by as many as 33 points, taking control and allowing Calipari to play most of his bench, which provided 22 points. "Kentucky is a really great team," Mitchell said. "They've got everything they need and they play hard. I don't see why they aren't No. 1 in the

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- It was an historic night of scoring and rebounding for John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, but most of the discussion after the game was about what Kentucky's two freshman phenoms did wrong in yet another easy victory for the third-ranked Wildcats. Wall had 22 points and 10 rebounds for his third double-double and Cousins got his seventh straight - best by a UK player in 37 years - as the Wildcats outmuscled Alabama 66-55 on Tuesday. Although Wall lit up the scoreboard at the end, the game started ugly for him. While he came in ranked second in the country in assists, he only managed two in this game - both in the second half. By then, he had racked up six turnovers - many of them sloppy ones - forcing Calipari at one point to take him out. With 16 points and 13 rebounds, Cousins extended his UK freshman record with 15 double-doubles. The last Kentucky player to get seven in a row was Jim Andrews, who had a team-record 10 straight in 1973. Five of Cousins' rebounds were on the offensive end, while all of Wall's career-high 10 were on defense. Still, there were problems there as well as his teammates seldom found him open in the middle early - a halftime adjustment Calipari made with success. With the victory, Kentucky (23-1, 8-1) remained in first place in the Southeastern Conference East Division, one game ahead of Vanderbilt, which beat Tennessee on Tuesday. Tony Mitchell had 13 points for Alabama (13-11, 3-7). Alabama chipped away at the lead and cut it to 51-45 with 8 minutes

left on a jumper by JaMychal Green. The Tide matched that six-point deficit with under a minute left on Anthony Brock's 3-pointer but got no closer as two free throws by Wall and a dunk by Patrick Patterson helped seal the victory for the Wildcats. Early on, every shot taken by a UK player seemed to come closely guarded by one, two or three Alabama defenders. Nobody adjusted more than Wall, who despite his turnovers gave the Wildcats a scoring boost, especially in the first half when they needed it most. Other than a wide-open 3 that gave Kentucky its first lead at 15-13, the rest of Wall's first-half points came under tight pressure from the stingy Alabama defense. With Alabama up 11-4 early, Kentucky scored 13 of the next 15 points. The Wildcats took the lead for good with 5:45 before halftime on Patterson's dunk off a steal by Bledsoe. Patterson added a 3-pointer seconds before halftime - just Kentucky's second in 11 first-half attempts - to give Kentucky a 31-24 lead. Alabama made 9 of 10 free throws in the game, but didn't manage their first until the second half. Kentucky, meanwhile connected on just 61 percent from the line, going 19 for 31.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- After missing two 3-point attempts in the first half, Kentucky freshman Eric Bledsoe told coach John Calipari he had lost confidence in his shot. Calipari's message, to Bledsoe's surprise: Keep shooting, anyway. Bledsoe's second half resurgence, along with yet another stellar performance by fellow freshman guard John Wall, helped No. 3 UK fight off No. 12 Tennessee for a 73-62 victory Saturday night. Down 52-50 midway through the second half after a three-point play by J.P. Prince, Kentucky (24-1, 9-1) scored the next 10 points - six of them by Wall - to give Calipari his first win over Bruce Pearl in their first Southeastern Conference matchup. The two met annually when Calipari coached at Memphis. Wall was the game's leading scorer with 24, one off his career high

set earlier this season against UConn. However, Wall acknowledged the true star of the game was Bledsoe, who got all 16 of his points in the second half and clinched the victory with three clutch shots in a row: a fastbreak layup followed by two 3-pointers. Bledsoe credits a halftime chat with Calipari, who told him to keep shooting even if he misses. In the second half, though, they didn't have to. UK’s backcourt led a 20-4 run that buried the Vols. Bobby Maze led the Vols (18-6, 6-4) with 15 points. Melvin Goins had a career-high 14. Although the Wildcats pulled away at the end, the two teams battled for the lead most of the night. Kentucky kept the Vols in it partly due to poor free throw shooting, particularly by DeMarcus Cousins, who connected on just one of eight attempts. Cousins, who was going for an eighth consecutive double-double, managed 12 rebounds but scored only five points. The Kentucky record remains 10 straight, set by Jim Andrews in 1973. Tennessee center Wayne Chism didn't start but made an immediate impact when he entered less than four minutes in. He nailed a 3-pointer on his first touch, then added a reverse layup to ignite 12-1 Tennessee run. While the Vols got their big man back, the Wildcats briefly lost theirs during the Tennessee scoring stretch. Cousins, who had barreled into the media table during a play underneath the basket, was sidelined for 2 minutes with an apparent injury to his left hip. Cousins was healthy enough a few minutes later to turn in one of the highlight plays of the game. After DeAndre Liggins missed a long jumper, Prince seemed to have both hands on the ball for an easy rebound. But Cousins robbed him in mid air, dunking it back into the hoop to give the Wildcats their biggest early lead at 20-14. Although Chism's ankle held up fine, he was sidelined with a lower back bruise late in the first half after committing a hard foul. He was back on the court for the start of the second half but got only two of his 12 points after intermission.

Humphrey Coliseum (10.788) Starkville, Miss. • Feb. 16, 2010
Kentucky No. 2/2 Mississippi St.
81 (OT) 75
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- John Wall scored 18 points, including five in overtime, and came within two assists of a triple-double to lead No. 2 Kentucky to an 81-75 victory over Mississippi State. Wall's three-point play opened the scoring in overtime, then he added two free throws and blocked Dee Bost's layup attempt with 36 seconds left to push UK (25-1, 10-1) to their sixth straight win and snap a 3-game losing streak to the Bulldogs (18-8, 6-5). DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson both scored 19 points. Wall had 10 rebounds and eight assists. Cousins had 14 rebounds. UK trailed 67-60 with 3 minutes left, but scored the final seven points of regulation, the last two on Patterson's 15-foot jumper. Bost scored 22 points for Mississippi State, which was without suspended leading scorer Ravern Johnson. The final minute of the game was marred when fans in the student section of a the record crowd of 10,788 threw bottles onto the court, almost hitting official Mike Kitts and coming close to Wall as he stood near the Kentucky bench. Mississippi State used a 13-2 run to take its biggest lead, 67-60, with 3 minutes left. Jarvis Varnado, one of the nation's leading shot blockers, fouled out midway through the run at 5:08, but that didn't seem to slow down the Bulldogs. They outscored the Wildcats 6-2 over the next 2 minutes before UK clamped down. Eric Bledsoe hit a 3-pointer, then converted Cousins' block of Romero Osby into a layup before Patterson tied it at 72. Mississippi State's Barry Stewart missed the rim on a 3-point attempt as the shot clock expired with 6.2 seconds left and DeAndre Liggins' jump shot from the baseline as time expired bounced off the rim. Cousins, playing with four fouls, grabbed one of his seven offensive rebounds and hit a putback to give Kentucky a 72-70 lead with 3:02 left, but Osby answered with a leaning layup. From there Wall took over. He wasn't a huge factor in the second half, but he was the difference in overtime. He beat Stewart for the three-point play, then hit one of two free throws in two trips to the line to give UK a 7875 lead and enough cushion for the win. Bost had a chance at a layup to cut the lead to one, but he lost the ball in traffic. Mississippi State dropped to 0-7 against No. 2-ranked teams and 215 against top five teams under coach Rick Stansbury, who was denied his 250th career victory. The Bulldogs were vulnerable without Varnado, who picked up his third and fourth fouls in a 5-sec span early in the second half. That left Stansbury with no option but to go with a smaller lineup. Cousins thrived with Varnado out, scoring 12 points and grabbing nine rebounds after halftime. He pushed his SEC-leading double-double mark to 16, snapping a tie with Varnado, who had just five points, three rebounds and two blocks.

Kentucky No. 2/2 Vanderbilt No. 17/19
58 56
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- John Wall sank a pair of free throws with 20 seconds left and had a big blocked shot to send No. 2 Kentucky to a 58-56 win over No. 17 Vanderbilt on Saturday night. Kentucky (26-1, 11-1 SEC), which beat Vanderbilt 85-72 on Jan. 30, grabbed a two-game lead over the Commodores in the SEC East and dealt them their first home loss this season. It was the first time the Wildcats swept the regular season series since 2005. Wall's free throws gave the Wildcats a 57-53 lead, but John Jenkins answered with a 3-pointer to pull Vanderbilt (20-6, 9-3) within a point. Kentucky's Eric Bledsoe missed a pair of free throws, but Wall responded by blocking a 3-pointer by Jenkins on the other end and grabbing the ball. He made one of two free throws for a two-point lead with 2.5 seconds to play, and the Commodores had one more chance. A.J. Ogilvy caught a long in-bounds pass by Darshawn McClellan, but his runner in the lane bounced off the rim at the buzzer. Cousins led Kentucky with 19 points and Patrick Patterson chipped in 13. Taylor scored 17 points for Vanderbilt, which was a woeful 2 for 20 from 3-point range. The Wildcats relied on their power in the paint, but the Commodores never let them get too comfortable. Festus Ezeli and Steve Tchiengang both fouled out with more than 5 minutes remaining trying to disrupt Cousins and Patterson inside. Ogilvy picked up his fourth foul with 10:11 left. Vanderbilt, the SEC's most prolific free-throw shooting team, used free throws to keep up with the Wildcats, and a pair by Taylor with 6:08 to go gave the Commodores a 49-45 lead, their largest of the game. It didn't last long. Thanks to some free throws by Cousins, a layup by Bledsoe and a 3-pointer by Patterson, Kentucky scored the next eight points to grab a 53-49 lead with 2:57 left. The Commodores made a few costly mistakes on defense that gave Kentucky some easy points. The Wildcats turned Vanderbilt's 15 turnovers into 19 points. It was Kentucky's second close call in as many games after pulling out an 81-75 overtime win at Mississippi State on Tuesday. Kentucky (26-1, 11-1) FG

steal and sprinted the other way, finishing with a reverse layup, not even looking at the basket in the process. Those plays gave Kentucky an early 11-2 lead. South Carolina cut it to 16-15 after consecutive baskets by Downey and a reverse layup by Lakeem Jackson, but Kentucky got some cushion in a hurry thanks to Cousins. There was no such hoopla around this one, although Hall of Famer Magic Johnson was among those in attendance and he heard roars from the Rupp Arena crowd when he was introduced. South Carolina coach Darrin Horn said he certainly noticed improvement in the Wildcats from the last meeting.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Patrick Patterson agonized for a month over the one blemish on No. 2 Kentucky's otherwise perfect season - a loss to South Carolina on a night when he had just five points, his worst outing by far. Determined not to repeat it in Thursday night's rematch with the Gamecocks, Patterson responded with a season-high 23 points - many of them in the clutch - and UK coasted to an 82-61 victory. Like its last meeting with Kentucky a month ago, South Carolina (1413, 5-8) proved a pesky opponent at times. However, Kentucky had too much offensive firepower, going on a late 13-0 run that turned what was then a 10-point lead into a blowout. South Carolina never led, and every time it started to chip away, UK had an answer and usually it was from Patterson. He scored the first points of the game on a 3-pointer and didn't slow down. Kentucky had a 15-point lead early in the second half, but twice Patterson responded when the Gamecocks cut it to six - first with a dunk, then a three-point play. South Carolina got no closer. Sam Muldrow's dunk midway through the first half cut the early Kentucky lead to 23-21, but the Gamecocks would score just five more points before halftime. Three came on a long heave from Downey at the buzzer that made it 37-26. Other than that, Kentucky closed the half on a 14-2 run, punctuated by a putback from DeAndre Liggins off a miss by Wall and a bank shot by Bledsoe. Downey, who scored 30 points in the previous meeting in Columbia, shot for an even higher percentage in this one, going 9 of 25, but the team made fewer than 40 percent of its shots and only four of 20 3-point attempts. Cousins had 19 points and 11 rebounds to increase his UK freshman record for double-doubles to 17. He also set a UK freshman record with his 285th rebound this season. Then came Kentucky's nightly showstopper, Wall, who grabbed a

Thompson-Boling Arena (21,214) Knoxville, Tenn. • Feb. 27, 2010
Kentucky No. 2/2 Tennessee No. 19/17
65 74
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- J.P. Prince and his Tennessee teammates watched No. 2 Kentucky erase a 19-point lead and knew they might also be watching a shot at a second major upset slip away. But, the Vols' senior leader wouldn't let that happen. With 90 seconds left, he scored on a broken play and added four clutch free throws down the stretch to lift No. 19 Tennessee past the surging Wildcats 74-65 on Saturday. No, in fact the Vols (21-7, 9-5 Southeastern Conference) seem to be growing accustomed to knocking off the giants of college basketball this year. Last month, they also handed top-ranked Kansas its only loss. The Wildcats (27-2, 12-2), who had won eight in a row since their only other loss last month to South Carolina, had trailed by 19 early in the second half but managed to tie the game at 65 with just over two minutes left. That's when Prince went to work, scoring six of his 20 points in the final 90 seconds. Add in a 3-pointer by Scotty Hopson - his only one in six attempts - and the Vols finished with nine straight points to ice it. Hopson had 15. Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said that Kentucky provided plenty of

help in the upset. The Wildcats couldn't have been much colder from long range, connecting on just two of 22 attempts, contributing to season-worst 35 percent field goal shooting. Kentucky coach John Calipari said, considering that, he was surprised the game was as close as it was. The Wildcats got their usual solid games from freshman superstars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, but it wasn't enough. Wall had 19 points, while Cousins added 15 points and 14 rebounds. Six of those points came on successive trips down the court as he made two free throws, then scored on two straight fastbreak dunks, both off passes from Wall. That tied the game at 65 before the Vols pulled away at the end.

80 68
ATHENS, Ga. -- John Calipari waited until Wednesday morning's shootaround to remind his Kentucky players they were playing for more than a national championship. Sensing they needed a lift, Calipari said he told his players, "Stop. Do you understand what we're playing for today?" The answer was the Southeastern Conference championship. After the coach's reminder, No. 3 Kentucky clinched at least a share of the regular-season title by beating Georgia 80-68 on Wednesday night. Calipari said the Wildcats were "sharp" and "focused" on the immediate goal. John Wall had 24 points and Patrick Patterson added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats, who scored the first 12 points of the second half and maintained control from there. Kentucky (28-2, 13-2 SEC) bounced back from a loss at then-No. 19 Tennessee and moved one game ahead of Vanderbilt in the race for the league's best record. The Wildcats, who swept Vanderbilt, already own the tiebreaker and the top seed in the SEC tournament. Before the shooting practice, all of Kentucky's focus had been on win-

ning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Calipari said there had been no mention of the conference race. Kentucky, which won a share of its 44th SEC title, snapped a streak of four straight home wins for Georgia (13-15, 5-10). Wall hit three 3-pointers to help the Wildcats shake their recent shooting slump. The star freshman added six assists and three steals. Calipari said he was happy with his team's second-half defense but still worried about its lack of consistency. The Wildcats led 40-36 at halftime before turning up their defensive pressure in the opening minutes of the second half. Georgia, which had six turnovers in the first half, added six turnovers in the first three minutes of the second half. Kentucky had eight steals and a season-high 14 blocks, including a career-high six by freshman DeMarcus Cousins. Kentucky scored 24 points off Georgia's 15 turnovers. The defense also set up some easy fast-break baskets as the Wildcats shot 54.4 percent from the field, their high mark in the SEC this season.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- On a day freshman-dominated Kentucky was honoring its seniors, sophomore Darius Miller was most responsible for making sure the Wildcats finished their season with a perfect home record. The No. 3 Wildcats saw a big early lead slip away against Florida, but Miller got most of his 14 points in the clutch to help pull out a 74-66 victory and possibly cement a top seed in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats had already clinched their 44th Southeastern Conference title outright with Vanderbilt's loss to South Carolina on Saturday night. Florida may need to win a few games in this week's SEC tourna-

ment in Nashville, Tenn., to reach the NCAAs. Kentucky's 18-0 home record ties the 1985-86 team for the best in program history. The last time the Wildcats reached 14 league wins was 2005. Although there were plenty of standouts for the Wildcats, who had five double-digit scorers, Miller made some of the most meaningful baskets, going 5 for 7 from the field, including three 3-pointers. He matched Eric Bledsoe as the game's top scorers. Miller's third 3 early in the second half stopped a 9-1 run by Florida that had helped cut into a large early deficit. UK led by as many as 18 late in the first half, but Florida got a slew of uncontested baskets and cut it to 57-54 midway through the second after a 3-pointer by Alex Tyus, who led UF with 12. The Gators pulled within two when a layup by Vernon Macklin made it 60-58 with seven minutes left. Patrick Patterson answered with a dunk and John Wall followed with a 3 to give the Wildcats some breathing room. Kentucky never trailed and began to pad the lead midway through the first half when Miller passed up a wide-open 3-pointer but dished it around to Bledsoe, who nailed the long jumper instead. Then, on the next trip down, Miller added his own 3, putting the Wildcats up 16-9. After Tyus hit a fade-away jumper to cut the Kentucky lead to 20-16 midway through the first half, the Gators didn't get a field goal for more than five minutes while the Wildcats pulled away early with a 14-0 run. Florida cut the deficit to 41-31 at halftime. Calipari typically starts three freshmen and one sophomore, but the team's lone seniors, Mark Krebs, Perry Stevenson and Ramon Harris, started and played the first five minutes. Also honored on Senior Day was Patrick Patterson, a junior who is expected to graduate in three years and will likely enter the NBA draft. Wall, a freshman and near-lock for the draft as perhaps the No. 1 overall pick, joined those four in the starting lineup.

No. 2/2
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- John Wall had 23 points, including seven straight in the second half to give the Wildcats the lead for good, and No. 2 Kentucky overcame an 11-point deficit in beating Alabama 73-67 in the SEC tournament quarterfinals. The win gave Kentucky its 12th 30-win season - the most by any school - and the Wildcats' first since 2003 when they went 32-4. It's also the fifth straight such season for John Calipari and seventh overall to tie him with Connecticut's Jim Calhoun for third-most among coaches. Patrick Patterson scored 20 and Eric Bledsoe 10 for Kentucky. DeMarcus Cousins finished with seven points and eight boards. The Tide just couldn't match Wall or the crowd in essentially a road game in Rupp Arena South as fans painted the inside of Bridgestone Arena blue. The Wildcats lead the series 100-35, including nine of the last 11 and five straight, even though fans didn't get to crank up into a full roar until the second half. That's when Wall took over and put Kentucky ahead to stay with his spurt, the last a three-point play to put the Wildcats up 43-42, their first lead since they were up 8-7. The freshman had brought the fans to their feet with a driving layup, and waved his arms to urge them to turn up the volume as he went back down the floor after his next inside bucket. He followed up with another layup to tie it at 42 with 13:51 remaining, drawing the foul that let him put the Wildcats ahead with the free throw. That started a 19-5 spurt as Bledsoe followed with a layup. Senario Hillman drove the baseline to pull Alabama within 45-44 before Patterson hit a pair of free throws and Daniel Orton dunked for Kentucky's biggest lead of the game at 49-45. The Wildcats pushed it to 55-45 when Wall followed up Bledsoe's miss with a dunk midway through the half. Alabama, which rallied from 18 points down on Thursday to beat South Carolina, struggled with six of eight players in foul trouble. Torrance's two free throws pulled the Tide within 66-63 with 1:44 left. Patterson answered with a dunk, and Wall hit four of six free throws to seal the victory. Two of those came after he bobbled the ball on his way to what appeared to be a celebratory dunk before he dribbled back out and was fouled. Alabama came out and hit four of its first five 3s while the Wildcats missed their first eight attempts even with good looks at the basket. The Tide took advantage of Cousins playing only 10 minutes with foul trouble to outrebound Kentucky 26-16. It wasn't until Darnell Dodson scored from the left side a couple seconds before the buzzer that Kentucky finally found the range, and that trimmed Alabama's lead to 35-30 at halftime.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kentucky is back in the Southeastern Conference tournament title game, a win away from the championship Wildcats fans see as their birthright. DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 15 rebounds, and No. 2 Kentucky beat 15th-ranked Tennessee 74-45 and advanced back to the final for the first time since 2004. Eric Bledsoe had 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting from 3-point range, and John Wall added 14. The Wildcats improved to a league-best 11322 in this tournament and 35-2 in the semifinals. Scotty Hopson had 11 points for UT, which snapped a five-game winning streak with its worst scoring performance this season. The well-rested Wildcats never trailed and scored 14 straight points to push the lead to 29 late. That was even though Cousins missed a layup off the opening tip. He came back and dunked to put Kentucky ahead, and the best Tennessee could do was tie the Wildcats three times - the last at 10. It was billed as a neutral court game, but the transformation of Bridgestone Arena into Rupp South couldn't have been clearer than a text poll in the first half posted on the video board of which team fans expected to win. Kentucky drew 77 percent in the early results. Every time Tennessee's pep band cranked up "Rocky Top," the Wildcats' fans did their best to drown it out, chanting, "Go Big Blue." Tennessee point guard Bobby Maze noticed the blue crowd in the quarterfinals and said Kentucky fans travel like the "Million Man March." So the Vols knew exactly what they'd be walking into on a court technically in their home state but about three hours away from campus - just as it is for the Wildcats. UK wound up winning its fourth straight by holding Tennessee to a season-low 19 points in the first half. The Wildcats improved to 5-1 in SEC semifinals and 144-66 all-time against the Vols. The Volunteers got into early foul trouble, and they spent more time pleading with officials than hitting shots. Kentucky did hit more free throws (16-of-30) than Tennessee attempted (9-of-15). Tennessee pulled within 45-39 on a bucket by Brian Williams with 9:27 left. That was as close as the Vols would get. Patrick Patterson dunked for only his second field goal, Bledsoe hit a 3, then Darnell Dodson hit consecutive 3s before dunking on an alley-oop pass from Darius Miller to put Kentucky up 58-41 with 6:02 remaining. The Cats just kept adding to it from there.

Bridgestone Arena (20,082) Nashville, Tenn. • Mar. 14, 2010
Mississippi State 74 No. 2/2 Kentucky (OT) 75 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- John Wall scored seven of his 15 points in overtime, and No. 2 Kentucky rallied from five down with 2:28 left in regulation to beat Mississippi State 75-74 on Sunday. The Wildcats rewarded their faithful by adding their 26th SEC tournament championship and an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament to their 44th regular season title. The Wildcats (32-2) blew earlier chances with freshmen Wall and DeMarcus Cousins missing free throws and making youthful mistakes. But they came through over the defending tourney champs as Cousins' layup off Wall's missed 3-pointer from the right corner beat the regulation buzzer to give them some extra time. Now Kentucky can celebrate its first SEC tournament title since 2004, ending an interminable drought for their fans who now expect another national championship. Mississippi State (23-11) lost for the second time to the Wildcats this season after leading late in regulation. The Bulldogs blew a seven-point lead on Feb. 16, and lost that game 81-75 in overtime. This time, the Bulldogs led 62-57 on Ravern Johnson's 3 with 2:28 left. That set up a furious finish to a game that had gone back and forth from the opening tip. Barry Stewart, a senior from nearby Shelbyville, Tenn., hit both free throws with 8.2 seconds left to push the Bulldogs 'lead to 64-61. Stewart then fouled out, sending Eric Bledsoe to the free throw line. Bledsoe hit the first, missed the second and Wall's 3-point attempt was well short. But Cousins put it back, getting the shot off before the buzzer. Officials signaled that the shot counted, and Wall and Cousins celebrated with their teammates piling on as if they had won. As the Bulldogs slumped and Kentucky celebrated, overtime seemed destined to go the Wildcats' way. Even then, it wasn't easy. Bledsoe's jumper put them ahead to stay at 71-69 with 1:20 left, and Wall's lone 3-pointer of the game pushed it to 74-71 with 26 seconds remaining. Cousins hit one of two free throws with 5 seconds to go that wound up the winning margin as Riley Benock hit a 3 just before the buzzer to start the celebration fans had been waiting for since Calipari was hired last spring.

It was the first time since 1952 that the SEC championship had been decided by one point. Bledsoe, another member of Calipari's first recruiting class, finished with 18 points. Patrick Patterson had 15, and Cousins finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Johnson scored 20 points to lead Mississippi State. Jarvis Varnado added 18 and spent much of the overtime upset at the lack of foul calls as he tried to drive to the basket. Dee Bost had 16 points, and Stewart added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Kentucky hit from all areas of the court, seemingly making a 3 for every slam dunk. Kentucky made 15 3-pointers on 33 attempts. The Wildcats shot 51.7 percent overall (31 of 60). Meanwhile, Kentucky held the Bucs to 35.9 percent shooting (23 of 64). The Bucs seemed so rattled they had trouble hitting free throws, missing 16 of their 37 attempts from the foul line. Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins blocked four shots, and Bledsoe had four steals. Kentucky started fast and never looked back. Patterson had 11 points before seven minutes had elapsed, and his breakaway two-handed jam on a long pass from DeAndre Liggins highlighted a 14-0 run that staked the Wildcats to a 23-10 lead. Bledsoe hit four 3s in the first half, when Kentucky also threw down a slew of alley-oop dunks. The Wildcats widened their lead to 30 when Ramon Harris' 3 made it 54-24 with 1:11 to go before halftime. By halftime, Kentucky led 54-26, and it was obvious that youth and inexperience weren't going to be a problem for Wildcats - not in the first round, anyway.

New Orleans Arena (10,984) New Orleans, La. • Mar. 18, 2010
East Tennessee St. 71 Kentucky No. 2/2 100 NEW ORLEANS, La.. -- Eric Bledsoe's eight 3-pointers set a new high for a Kentucky player in an NCAA tournament game, and the Kentucky Wildcats dominated throughout in a 100-71 victory over East Tennessee State in the East Regional. Scoring 29 points, Bledsoe started 8 of 8 on 3s before finally missing his first from long range late in the second half and finishing 8 of 9. Still, he surpassed Tony Delk's previous school record of seven 3s in the 1996 championship game victory over Syracuse. Patrick Patterson scored 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting, including a handful of dunks, while John Wall added 17 points and 11 assists for the Wildcats (33-2). Micah Williams had 18 points for ETSU (20-15), the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament champs, who trailed by as much as 40 in the second half. Justin Tubbs added 16 points and Adam Sollazzo 14 for the Buccaneers, who as a 16th seed last season gave Pittsburgh a first-round scare. ETSU simply could not summon a similar performance against the Southeastern Conference champion Wildcats, who have three freshman starters but brushed off any worries about inexperience in the tournament.

NEW ORLEANS, La.. -- It’s starting to look like the good old days for Kentucky's proud basketball program. John Calipari's top-seeded Wildcats are young and inexperienced, but no longer unproven in the NCAA tournament, during which their average margin of victory now stands at

29.5 points. Darius Miller scored a career-high 20 points and Kentucky made easy work of No. 9 seed Wake Forest during a 90-60 rout in their second-round meeting. Miller scored 16 points in the first half to help the Wildcats (34-2) build an early double-digit lead that ballooned to 31 in the second half. Kentucky's performance against Wake Forest was balanced. No player had a stunning statistical line but several had good ones. DeMarcus Cousins, turning in a dunk-filled performance in the paint, had 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting, while John Wall scored 14 and Bledsoe 13. Al-Farouq Aminu had 16 points for Wake Forest (20-11), which was down by 16 at halftime and never mounted a credible comeback attempt during the final 20 minutes. C.J. Harris added 11 points for the Demon Deacons. Needing overtime to squeeze out a dramatic 81-80 win over Texas in the first round, Wake Forest looked worn down and outmanned as the Wildcats pounded their way inside for one easy basket after another. Kentucky scored 52 points in the paint and shot 60 percent. The Wildcats even outrebounded Wake Forest 42-34, a surprising statistic given that the Demon Deacons had outrebounded the Longhorns by 25 in the first round. Wake Forest appeared ready to give Kentucky a fight in the opening minutes and the score was tied at 19 after Harris' 3-pointer. Then Kentucky stomped on the proverbial accelerator, starting with a 7-0 run capped by Cousins' dunk. Another dunk by Cousins capped an 8-0 surge to close the first half with the Wildcats leading 44-28. Wall opened the second half with a 3, igniting a 16-5 run that included Bledsoe's 3 and Patrick Patterson's alley-oop jam on a feed from Miller. Bledsoe's soaring one-handed jam and end-to-end layup highlighted a quick 6-0 spurt soon after that pushed the lead to 68-37 with 12:41 to go. From then on, the New Orleans Arena crowd, dominated by Kentucky blue, continued to roar with every Kentucky highlight, and a Bourbon Street block party seemed certain to follow.

No. 2/2
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Kentucky avoided the latest big upset by the Big Red. John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson stopped Cornell's captivating NCAA tournament run, giving the top-seeded Wildcats a 62-45 win Thursday night in the East Regional semifinals. With much of the Carrier Dome crowd - and the country - pulling for an upset by the 12th-seeded Ivy Leaguers, Cornell bolted to a 10-2 lead in the opening minutes. But Kentucky overcame the early deficit with a swarming defense, spoiling all the fun at Cornell's loudest and largest pep rally. John Calipari has the Wildcats (35-2) in the regional final in his first season, erasing much of the sting of the program's decade-long slide from the top. The climb back is nearly complete. Kentucky moved within one win of its first Final Four since winning the national championship in 1998 and will play second-seeded West Virginia on Saturday. In an NCAA tournament gone wild with upsets, it's 1 vs. 2 with a trip to the Final Four in Indianapolis at stake. All the fan adulation and media hype shifted to Cornell this week after brainy Big Red (29-5) stunned the field with an improbable run to the round of 16. This was no Revenge of the Nerds - they proved they could they play with the big boys. The nation's top 3-shooting team continuously misfired from beyond the arc and Cornell couldn't catch up against a Kentucky lineup that could stage a reunion at the NBA's 2012 Rookie Challenge. After storming to two wins by a combined 59 points in the first two rounds, the Wildcats got all they could handle against Big Red. Cornell pounced to that early lead, then sliced a 17-point deficit to six late in the second half. But Eric Bledsoe hit a short jumper with one tick left on the 35-second shot clock to push Kentucky's lead to 12. The Wildcats finally put away Cornell for good from the free-throw line. Cousins scored 16 points and Patterson had nine points and 12 rebounds for Kentucky.

West Virginia Kentucky No. 2/2
73 66
Technicals: None. SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Country road, take me home. Or better yet, Indianapolis. It's almost heaven, West Virginia. The Mountaineers are off to the Final Four for the first time since 1959. Joe Mazzulla scored a career-high 17 points in his first start of the season and West Virginia handled a cold-shooting Kentucky team stocked with future NBA players almost from the opening tip for a 73-66 victory in the East Regional final Saturday. Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins, back with his alma mater, is in the Final Four for the first time since taking Cincinnati in 1992. It's an even longer stretch for West Virginia - Jerry West was the star of the team 51 years ago, and not yet a Hall of Famer or NBA logo. The young Wildcats could have used West's famous shooting touch in this one. They were awful from 3-point range, missing their first 20 attempts and finishing a stunning 4 of 32 (12.5 percent). DeAndre Liggins finally hit a 3 with 3:29 left to end the drought, but by then it was too late. West Virginia went the other way, making eight 3s in the first half without a 2-point basket. It's been a turbulent time for Huggins since his previous Final Four appearance. He was forced out at Cincinnati, had a heart attack in 2002 and spent a year coaching Kansas State before he found the country roads back to Huntington in 2007. He couldn't have imagined at the start of the tournament relying on Mazzulla to take his team to Indianapolis. Mazzulla came off the bench in 35 games this season and averaged 2.2 points - barely worth a mention in most scouting reports. He dashed uncontested to the rim for several easy baskets. When he was out of the game, he was on all fours in front of the bench slamming the court in encouragement. West Virginia fans chanted "Final Four! Final Four!" as the players took their spots at halfcourt after the final buzzer. Da'Sean Butler, who scored 18 points, led the Mountaineers in a little Final Four dance and they cupped their ears to the crowd. "I talked about it being special," Huggins told the crowd. "Two more and it will be really special." They had the stage after Kentucky had the spotlight all season. The Wildcats (35-3), who also went 16 for 29 at the free throw line, were a strong favorite to win their first national championship since 1998 once overall No. 1 seed Kansas went down in the second round. Instead, a team loaded with NBA-caliber players - John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins among them - is left to wonder how its season ended in a whimper.

Season Recap Behind the Fabulous Five of Ralph Beard, Wah Wah Jones, Alex Groza, Kenny Rollins, and Cliff Barker, the 1947-48 Kentucky men's basketball team went 36-3 enroute to win the school's first national championship. Kentucky got off to a quick start winning its first seven games before falling to Temple in a one-point buzzer-beater. The Wildcats, however, won 26 of their next 29 games including a 58-38 victory retribution matchup over the Temple Owls. All five of the Wildcat starters were recognized by the Southeastern Conference with Jones, Beard and Rollins being named to the first team. Beard was also named the True Magazine Player-of-the-Year for the second consecutive season. Following the regular season, the Wildcats breezed through the SEC Tournament, winning the four games by a total of 111 points, including a narrow 54-53 victory over Georgia Tech in the championship game. The NCAA Tournament went much as the conference tourney did. Jones scored 19 points in the opener over Columbia and then UK won an eight-point decision over Holy Cross in the second round to advance to the championship game against Baylor. Groza poured in 23 points for the 58-42 victory over the Bears.

M ARCH 23, 1948 • N EW YORK Alex Groza and Ralph Beard combined for 26 points and the Wildcats’ defense held the Bears to 16 first-half points to capture UK’s first NCAA title. The title victory enabled the Wildcats to become only the second team ever to win both the NIT and NCAA titles. UK, which finished the season at 34-2, won the NIT title in 1946. Paced by Groza and Beard, the Wildcats turned a 29-16 halftime lead into a 44-28 bulge midway through the second half. After Baylor rallied to cut the lead to 11, UK put the game out of reach as Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones scored four points to give the Wildcats a 15-point lead. In addition to Groza and Beard, the Wildcats also got nine points apiece from Jones and Kenneth Rollins.
Front Row: Coach Adolph Rupp, Johnny Stough, Ralph Beard, Kenneth Rollins, Cliff Barker, Jr., Dale Barnstable, Asst. Coach Harry Lancaster. Second Row: Manager Humzey Yessin, Garland Townes, Jim Jordan, Joe Holland, Alex Groza, Wallace Jones, Jim Line, Roger Day, Trainer Wilbert Bud Berger.

Season Recap With a familiar four starters returning from the Fabulous Five, the 1948-49 Kentucky men's basketball team appeared poised to make a second consecutive title run. The Wildcats raced through the regular season with only one loss and only three teams throughout the year came within even 10 points of Kentucky. Alex Groza led the team in scoring in 13 of its last 15 games and he broke a UK and SEC record with 38 points in a 95-40 win over Georgia on Feb. 21. The team concluded the regular season with a 70-37 win over Vanderbilt at Alumni Gym, including a last-second 65-foot shot by Cliff Barker. The Cats again swept through the SEC Tournament in nearby Louisville, winning their opening-round game over Florida, 73-36. Kentucky outscored its SEC Tournament opponents by a total of 123 points in a four-game span, including a 68-52 win over Tulane in the conference final. After being surprisingly upset in the first round of the NIT Tournament, the Wildcats had no trouble in NCAA play. Kentucky defeated Villanova, 85-72, and Illinois, 76-47, to advance to the national title game. Groza, Ralph Beard and Wah Wah Jones were all named All-America and Groza was named the tournament's MVP. It was no surprise that when the first-ever Associated Press poll was released the following year, the Cats were ranked preseason No. 1.

M ARCH 26, 1949 • S EATTLE Paced by Alex Groza’s 25 points and a defense that limited the Aggies to a mere nine field goals, the Wildcats were crowned NCAA Champions for the second straight year. Groza, a unanimous selection as the “Player of the Tournament,” scored more than twice as many points as any other player. A&M’s Jack Shelton was the game’s only other player to score in double figures. He finished with 12 points. The Aggies, coached by Hank Iba, led 5-2, but the Wildcats scored seven straight points, five by Groza, and never trailed again as they took a 2520 first-half lead. UK extended the lead to 31-21 early in the second half and coasted the rest of the way.

Season Recap Kentucky opened the 1950-51 season on an 84-game home win streak and they began the year by moving from the antiquated Alumni Gym to the new 11,500 seat Memorial Coliseum that was designed to commemorate the Kentuckians who died in World War II and the Korean War. Though illness plagued the team and its coach throughout the season, Kentucky compiled a 32-2 record and its third national title in four years. UK defeated arch-rival Louisville by 11 points, 79-68, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before breezing by St. John's in the next round. After posting a narrow 76-74 victory over Illinois in the East Regional championship, the Cats toppled Kansas State, 6858, in the championship game. Seven-foot center Bill Spivey led Kentucky, scoring 19.2 points per game during the season. He was followed by the junior duo of Shelby Linville and Bobby Watson, who each averaged 10.4 ppg. The Cats outscored their opponents by 757 points in UK’s third championship season.
M ARCH 27, 1951 • M INNEAPOLIS Bill Spivey scored 22 points and an ailing Cliff Hagan sparked the Wildcats to their third NCAA title. With a squad consisting of only six healthy players — Walt Hirsch was ineligible and Hagan was plagued by an infected throat — the Wildcats hardly looked like championship material as Kansas State broke out to a 20-12 lead. It was then that Rupp inserted the ailing Hagan. It was a move that may have proved the difference as the sophomore forward sparked a rally that saw UK cut the Kansas State lead to 29-27 at the half. Led by Hagan and Spivey, who dominated the boards, UK outscored Kansas State 41-29 in the second half to complete the come-frombehind victory.
Standing: Frank Ramsey, Shelby Linville, Bill Spivey, Roger Layne, Lou Tsioropoulos, Read Morgan. Seated: Coach Adolph Rupp, Cliff Hagan, C.M.

Season Recap After finishing the previous year with a second-round NCAA tournament loss on their home court, the 1957-58 Kentucky Wildcats, behind the starting lineup of Vernon Hatton, Johnny Cox, John Crigler, Adrian Smith and Ed Beck, lost two of its final five games and appeared an unlikely contender for the national championship. The Cats were led by Hatton's 17.1 points per game and Cox's 14.9 points per game. Hatton proved his effectiveness as a clutch player by sinking a 47-foot shot at the end of regulation to send UK into a overtime against Temple, a game that the Wildcats would win 85-83 after three extra periods. Kentucky breezed past the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, held in Lexington, with wins over Miami of Ohio and Notre Dame. UK then faced Temple in the next round and again won a close 61-60 decision. The Wildcats defeated Seattle 84-72 in an anti-climactic national title tilt, the fourth and final national championship for Adolph Rupp.
M ARCH 22, 1958 • L OUISVILLE Senior Vernon Hatton scored 30 points and the Wildcats overcame a 25-point, 19-rebound performance by Elgin Baylor to capture their fourth NCAA championship. Led by Hatton and Johnny Cox, who finished with 24 points, the Wildcats twice battled back from 11-point deficits to gain the victory. Trailing for much of the game, UK grabbed its first lead with 6:08 left when Don Mills hit a hook shot to give the Wildcats a 61-60 lead. Moments later, Cox hit a jump shot to make it 63-60 and UK never trailed again. John Crigler added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the victors. Mills and Adrian Smith finished with nine and seven points, respectively. Aside from Baylor, Seattle received 17 points from Charley Brown and 16 from Jerry Frizzell.

Season Recap Regular-season losses to Alabama and LSU were the only blemishes on Kentucky's 1977-78 record, as UK and senior Jack Givens, who averaged 18.1 ppg, went 30-2 for their first NCAA title in 20 years. UK outscored its opponents by 459 points during the season and were aided by 14.4 points per game from 6-foot-10 center Rick Robey. Originally hailed as an underachieving team, Kentucky overcame obstacles to win the SEC Championship and the first NCAA title under head coach Joe B. Hall. The Cats won their last eight regular-season games, including a 92-70 win over UNLV in the home finale, led by 26 points from Robey, and a 78-68 win over Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. Characteristically, the Cats had no trouble with their earlyround competition in the NCAA Tournament, as Florida State, Miami of Ohio and Michigan State fell along the way. UK met up with Arkansas in the national semifinal game, which they won 64-59 before defeating Duke, 94-88, in the championship final.

M ARCH 27, 1978 • S T. L OUIS Senior Jack Givens put on one of the finest individual performances in NCAA Championship history in leading the Wildcats past the Blue Devils. With many Kentucky fans among the crowd of 18,271 chanting “Goose, Goose,” Givens scored 41 points, three short of the record for a championship game, to help the Wildcats to their fifth NCAA title and first in 20 years. Givens’ dominance was clearly evident in the first half as he scored 23 points, including UK’s last 16 of the half, to turn a 29-28 UK lead into a 45-38 cushion. It was a deficit from which the Blue Devils would not recover. Overall, Givens made 18 of 27 field goal attempts, five of eight free throws and added eight rebounds and three assists.

Season Recap Kentucky strung together 25 consecutive wins, including a 16-0 mark in Southeastern Conference play, midway through the 1995-96 season and rolled to its sixth national championship and the first under head coach Rick Pitino. The dynamic duo of Tony Delk (17.8 ppg) and Antoine Walker (15.2 ppg) led the Wildcats' team dubbed "The Untouchables" by Pitino. A 10-point loss to UMass in the second game of the season would be the only smudge on the Wildcats' schedule as they entered SEC Tournament play. UK posted dominating wins over Florida (100-76) and Arkansas (95-75) in the first two rounds of the tournament, but an up-start Mississippi State team shot 60 percent from the three-point arc to hand UK a shocking 84-73 loss in the title game. Kentucky still earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament's Dallas Regional and the stomped San Jose State and Virginia Tech to easily advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The competition proved no tougher in the next two rounds as the Wildcats outscored Utah and Wake Forest by a combined 62 points. A rematch with UMass awaited in the national semifinal, but Kentucky had no trouble with John Calipari's Minutemen, surpassing them 81-74. The Wildcats, behind six first-half three-pointers by Delk, defeated Syracuse, 76-67, in the national title game.

APRIL 1, 1996 • EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Tony Delk tied a championship game record with seven three-pointers and the Wildcats withstood a late Orangemen rally to win UK’s sixth national title before a capacity crowd of 19,229 in the Continental Airlines Arena at the Meadowlands. Delk, the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, canned seven of 12 three-pointers to lead the Cats with 24 points. But after Syracuse had cut the lead to two, 64-62, with 4:46 remaining, a Delk misfire was tipped in by Walter McCarty to extend UK’s lead to four. After holding the Orangemen on the next possession, Derek Anderson drained a three to push the lead to seven. SU would get no closer than five in the final minutes. Delk was joined on the Final Four AllTournament team by freshman Ron Mercer, who was sensational off the bench, scoring a careerhigh 20 points on 8-12 shooting from the field, including 3-4 from three-point range.

Season Recap The team that came to be known as the "Comeback Cats," the 1997-98 Kentucky Wildcats captured their second NCAA title in three years after overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit against Utah in the national championship game. UK was 103 in games decided by 10 points or less and 7-1 in games decided by three points or less during the season. Kentucky's players provided a balanced attack, as all five starters averaged over nine points per game with senior guard Jeff Sheppard averaging 13.7 points per game and junior center Nazr Mohammed averaging 12.0 points per game. The Wildcats rolled to an 86-56 victory over South Carolina in the SEC Tournament final and then sprinted past South Carolina State, St. Louis and UCLA in the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
M ARCH 30, 1998 • S AN A NTONIO Kentucky battled back from a 41-31 halftime deficit to Utah — the largest halftime margin ever overcome in an NCAA title game — to claim the school’s seventh national championship before 40,509 fans in the Alamodome. Utah was propelled to the early lead thanks to a 24-6 rebounding advantage in the first half. But Heshimu Evans sparked the “Comeback Cats” off the bench with seven straight points early in the second half. Later, Final Four Most Outstanding Player Jeff Sheppard canned a baseline jumper with 4:54 remaining to give UK a 65-64 lead. The exhausted Utes then missed 11 consecutive field goals as the Wildcats claimed their second NCAA Championship in three years. Scott Padgett joined Sheppard on the All-Final Four team after scoring 17 points. UK outrebounded the Utes 18-15 in the second half.

former UK Media Guide began, “In the storied land of Kentucky Colonels,
Athere dwelled but one Baron, a man of consummate pride and a molder of
powerful teams which for more than four decades made the name University of Kentucky synonymous with the game of basketball.” Tutored by the great Phog Allen at Kansas and a student of the game under Dr. James Naismith, Rupp learned his craft at an early age. After leaving the high school ranks in Freeport, Ill., to take the UK job in 1930, the “man in the brown suit” became the winningest coach in all of college basketball. He was an innovator of the fast break, a trademark of the Wildcats even today. To become the winningest coach in his sport, Rupp passed his mentor, Coach Allen, on March 12, 1966, with his 747th victory against Dayton in the Mideast Regional. He achieved the top ranking when he passed Western Kentucky’s E.A. Diddle with victory No. 760 on Feb. 18, 1967, at Mississippi State. He finished with 876 wins when he retired in 1972, a mark that stood for 25 years until North Carolina’s Dean Smith moved ahead in 1997. Among the many UK victories were four NCAA titles (1948, ’49, ’51 and ’58), one Olympic Gold Medal (1948), one NIT Championship (1946), 27 Southeastern Conference titles and his Wildcats were voted No. 1 in the final polls on six different occasions. Rupp coached some of America’s best – Sale, Beard, Groza, Hagan, Ramsey, Cox, Hatton, Nash, Riley and Issel. Thirty-two of his Cats were voted All-Americans 50 times and 52 players were honored 91 times as All-SEC performers. His teams were unmatched in league play, earning a 400-74 (84.4%) record against SEC competition. In the conference tournament, Rupp’s Wildcats were 57-6, winning 13 titles in 19 appearances. Before the end of his 42-year career, the four-time National Coach of the Year was inducted into the J OE B.

Naismith Hall of Fame in 1969. Rupp also earned SEC Coach of the Year honors on seven occasions. oe B. Hall, who grew up just 20 minutes north of the University of Kentucky campus in Cynthiana, had the unenviable task of following the legendary Adolph Rupp, who was forced to retire at age 70. But Hall, the former Rupp assistant, met the challenge head on, coaching three teams to the Final Four (1975, ‘78 and ‘84) and winning the 1978 NCAA Championship, the school’s fifth title and first in 20 seasons. Hall began his association with Kentucky as a student-athlete during the “Fabulous Five era.” He played one year of junior varsity and one year of varsity basketball before transferring to the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., where he finished his eligibility and set a single-game scoring record. Following his college career, Hall toured Europe with the Harlem Globetrotters in 1951, but later returned to UK and completed his degree requirements. His coaching career began at Shepherdsville (Ky.) High School in 1956. It continued on to Regis College in Denver, where he spent five years (57-50 record), and Central Missouri State, where he recorded a 19-6 mark in one season before returning to UK as an assistant to Rupp on July 1, 1965.

As the UK head coach, Hall won National Coach of the Year honors in 1978 and four SEC Coach of the Year awards. He had seven players win All-America honors 11 times and nine Wildcats were voted All-SEC on 18 occasions.

While Coach Rupp witnessed 37 of his players drafted by the NBA, Hall saw 23 players drafted during his 13-year tenure, five in the first round. Retired, Hall still resides in Lexington. romising to win right away, the 36-year-old coach from the New York Knicks accepted the challenge of rebuilding the Kentucky basketball dynasty. Pitino came to UK with impressive credentials, having rebuilt Boston U., Providence and the Knicks. His first UK team, “Pitino’s Bombinos,” shocked the college basketball world by defeating Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Jackson and the No. 9-ranked LSU Tigers in Lexington en route to a surprising 14-14 record in 1989-90. It was a glimpse into the future. The following year, UK finished with the best record in the SEC. Then in 1992, fresh off NCAA probation, the “Unforgettables” took eventual national champion Duke into overtime of the East Regional final before falling 104-103 in what many have labeled “the greatest college basketball game ever played.” In 1993, with Jamal Mashburn leading the charge, UK advanced to the Final Four for the first time in nine years, losing to Michigan in overtime. After an Elite Eight finish in ’95, Pitino’s squad became the team to beat in ’96. Highlights included the school’s first league championship in 10 seasons, a 27-game win streak, a top-three ranking nearly the entire season, and the crowning jewel, the school’s sixth NCAA title. After UK lost four players to the NBA Draft, Pitino’s task of defending the national championship became more difficult after star-guard Derek Anderson severely injured his knee during the ’97 season. But the Cats wouldn’t fold, rolling to the title game before losing to Arizona in overtime. Along the way, Pitino won five of six SEC Tournament Championships, two ECAC Holiday Classics, the Maui Invitational and the Great Alaska Shootout. He had a 104-28 record vs. SEC teams, winning two league crowns, and an amazing 17-1 record in the SEC tourney.

He coached three All-Americans and eight All-SEC performers. The NBA drafted eight of his Wildcats, six in the first round, including three lottery picks. Following the national runner-up trophy in 1997, the former point guard at UMass left UK for the challenge of rebuilding the NBA’s Boston Celtics. s Kentucky made its run to the NCAA’s 2005 Elite Eight, national media members began to notice unusual traits about Tubby Smith’s latest group of Wildcats. For instance, no player scored 15 or more points a game. No one averaged eight rebounds. As many as 13 players routinely saw action, often in the first half alone. This team was selfless and versatile, yet extremely competitive. Just like its coach, Orlando “Tubby” Smith. In his 10 seasons in the Bluegrass, Smith won with McDonald’s All-Americans and with unheralded

prep talent. He won with future NBA stars and with walk-ons from within the Commonwealth. He won with experience and with new players. In a nutshell, he won. Since arriving in Lexington in 1997, Smith led Kentucky to one national championship, five SEC crowns and five SEC Tournament titles, with six Sweet 16 finishes in his 10 seasons. He totaled 100 wins quicker than any other Wildcat coach except Hall of Famer Adolph Rupp, reaching the plateau in 130 games. Since taking over the UK program, he won 76 percent of his games despite playing a schedule that annually ranked among the nation’s best. In NCAA Tournament play, Smith finished his career at UK with the sixth-best winning percentage (.690) among active coaches, trailing Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, among others, with a sterling 29-13 record. Even more impressive, Smith averaged nearly 26 wins per season at Kentucky. In the SEC Tournament, he was 20-5 at UK, and he won a league championship seven times in his 10 years as head coach.

R ETIRED J ERSEYS s the videotape rolls through the 107-year history of the Kentucky basketball program, the
Ahighlights are numerous.
Seven national championships… numerous Southeastern Conference titles… last second shots… the trophies… the netcutting… victory upon victory. The pictures and images continue to roll. Year-after-year, the Wildcats have defended national championships and produced a host of AllAmericans. The UK program also has stocked the NBA with top young talent. But the ultimate honor for a Wildcat player or coach is to have his jersey retired. Through the years, 42 former players, coaches and contributors have received this recognition. According to former UK sports information director Russell Rice, the first jersey to be retired was Layton “Mickey” Rouse, an All-Southeastern Conference guard who captained the 1940 UK squad. At the annual banquet following the season, Coach Adolph Rupp surprised Rouse when he presented him his entire uniform. Following the 1949 season, Rupp honored the four seniors from the back-to-back national championship teams — Cliff Barker, Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Wallace “Wah, Wah” Jones, along with 1948 team captain Kenny Rollins — by retiring their jerseys and stating that their numbers would never be worn again by a Kentucky player. It was then that they were tagged “the Fabulous Five” after Rupp made mention there would never be another team that “fabulous.” However, with the streamlining of jersey numbers by the NCAA, the jerseys are retired but the numbers remain active. Two contributors have been selected for the basketball program’s highest honor, including the late Cawood Ledford, the radio “Voice of the Wildcats” for 39 years. In 1997, Bill Keightley, the lovable and dedicated equipment manager known as “Mr. Wildcat,” also was selected. And the great coaches have been honored as well — Rupp, Hall and Pitino. Each selection has been presented with a framed jersey and a banner proudly hung from the Rupp Arena rafters. And as the film clip continues, there’s sure to be a sequel in the works.
The late Bill Keightley is one of two non-player/coaches to receive the highest honor as having a jersey retired in Rupp’s rafters.

he Wildcats have enjoyed unparalleled success in the league’s postseason tournament. In the 50 years the event has been held, Kentucky has captured 26 titles and has won 85 percent of its games in the tourney. Next in line among the schools in tournament titles is Alabama with six. Since the tournament was renewed in 1979, 10 different schools have captured the trophy. Only Vanderbilt and South Carolina have failed to win the event. Kentucky is the only team to win the event 15 times since 1979, including titles in seven of the eight years in the 1990s. During that decade, the Wildcats lost only one SEC Tournament game in 24 tries. The Wildcats will be defending their 2010 title in Altanta this year.

*As part of sanctions imposed upon the UK basketball program in 1989, the NCAA ordered Kentucky to erase from the record three NCAA tournament games from the 1987-88 season. The presidents of the Southeastern Conference institutions voted to strip Kentucky of the 1987-88 SEC regular season and SEC Tournament championships. Kentucky was not forced to forfeit any of those regular season or tournament games.

dolph Rupp is synonymous with winning. As coach of Kentucky, he was a pioneer in the Wildcats’ fast-break offense while becoming the winningest coach the game had ever seen. The site that now serves as a tribute to his outstanding coaching accomplishments – Rupp Arena – has become one of the most recognizable gymnasiums in the world while serving as home to college basketball’s most storied 228 230 program. Now in its 35th 227 season as the 27 225 Kentucky 28 29 30 26 Wildcats’ home 25 224 24 court, the facility 24 has seen UK win 23 23 223 86 percent of its 22 22 home games since 21 21 221 it was opened in 20 19 1976. 17 16 15 219 18 In recent years, 218 Rupp Arena completed renovations - including the 217 215 lower arena seats being changed to blue from their previous
rainbow colors. In addition, new end-zone seating moved the student section closer to the floor in an intimidating, standing-room only arrangement. While the endowment seats along courtside continue to entice fans to financially support their Wildcats, a large portion of the media have been moved to a “press box” location between the lower and upper seating areas. And finally, nearly 40 seats were added to each corner, the first additions in seating in nearly two decades. The improvements followed changes that included four new video boards, a new playing 231 232 234 floor with a striking new design and 235 enhancements to 35 236 the concourses 31 32 33 34 36 as well. It was all 37 238 38 part of a $15 38 million upgrade 39 39 240 to what many 40 40 consider the 41 41 241 mecca of college 42 43 basketball. 14 13 12 11 242 44 Since the fall of 244 1976, the arena in downtown Lexington has 213 212 211 served as home to three national championship teams at

Kentucky. Three others have advanced to the Final Four. Eight seasons have witnessed the Cats go unbeaten at home. It has played host to over 500 UK games, countless KHSAA Sweet 16s, a number of NBA exhibitions, 11 NCAA Tournaments, three SEC Tournaments and two Ohio Valley Conference Tournaments. With so many unforgettable moments, the old floor still maintained a value to hoop fans across the Bluegrass and beyond. Therefore, officials made pieces of the relic available for public sale, with proceeds going to the UK Basketball Museum, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association and to help offset the costs of the new playing floor. Thanks to an auction of additional sections, like coaching boxes and lettered end zones, the old floor generated more than $250,000.

roads led to Lexington for the NCAA Final Four as Villanova shocked Georgetown in a memorable finale. In 1986, Rupp played host to both the Southeastern Conference Tournament and the NCAA Women’s Final Four. On numerous other occasions, the arena has served as one stop en route to the NCAA title game. An awesome structure in sight and scope, the arena is divided into two seating areas. The lower level features 10,000 cushioned theater seats. The upper level has 13,000 seats on epoxy-coated metal bleachers. The latter can be visually isolated to provide more natural setting for small shows. Built by the city of Lexington, the arena is the major portion of the $53 million Lexington Center complex, which includes an expanded conventionexhibition hall, a 50-store tri-level enclosed

The new portable basketball court, adorned with the official interlocking UK logo at midcourt, was designed by both UK officials and the Lexington Center Corporation. Robbins, Inc., in Cincinnati constructed it in 2001 at a cost of $125,000. When assembled, it lies 118 feet below the ceiling and is made of a high-grade northern maple. The floor can be removed and an ice rink can be constructed for ice shows or hockey games thanks to a $2.5 million renovation during the summer of ’96. But the playing surface is just one aspect of the impressive home of the Cats. Situated in downtown Lexington, Rupp Arena has played host to several premier basketball events. In March of 1985, all

In January 2001, the arena unveiled four new video boards, each 12’6” by 20’ in size and mounted in each corner. It allowed the Wildcats to utilize a new “lights out” introduction, featuring a video presentation and indoor fireworks.

A LUMNI GYM A LUMNI GYM - Won 247, Lost 24 lumni Gym is actually “the first house that Rupp built.” A house filled with tradition. A house where Kentucky basketball began. Memorial Coliseum is often referred to as “the house that Rupp built.” The Wildcats’ current home, Rupp Arena, was dedicated to the legendary coach in 1976. But the rich Kentucky basketball tradition began 26 years before the ink was even dry on the Memorial Coliseum plans. In 1923, the Athletics Council members argued to the Board of Trustees that the old gym in Barker Hall’s Buell Armory was unsafe for even the small number of people it could accommodate. Large crowds that had to be turned away and the probability that the popular state high school tournament would be moved away were two major factors that convinced the Board members that a new gym was in order. Soon, the 2,800-seat structure was approved and the Alumni Association began efforts to raise the $100,000 needed for the Wildcats new home — a home critics labeled as a “white elephant.” Alumni Gym, which was complete for the 192425 season, holds claim to the birth of Wildcat basketball mania. The building served as the home floor for Wildcat squads until 1950. During that time, Kentucky lost only 24 of its 271 games, while laying the groundwork to become the winningest college basketball team in the nation. When Rupp took the reins of the program in 1930, his squads established a home record of 201 victories against just eight losses in 19 seasons. He led the Cats to 84 consecutive wins in the confines of Alumni including 64 consecutive victories in the Southeastern Conference. During the last 17 seasons in the gym, the Wildcats won 12 conference tournament crowns and three Sugar Bowl championships. Through 26 seasons at the corner of the Avenue of Champions and South Limestone, Kentucky suffered only one losing season, while having 12 campaigns with three or fewer losses. Kentucky basketball became a dynasty in 1948 after winning the SEC and NCAA championships and the coveted Olympic gold in London, England. Led by All-Americans Alex Groza, Ralph Beard and Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones, with Rupp coaching from the sidelines, the United States squad soundly defeated France 65-21 in the

M EMORIAL C OLISEUM or 26 years, the pulsating cries of “Rip ‘em
FUp, Tear ‘em Up, Give ‘em Hell Wildcats”
rang through one of the grandest and most historic of all basketball palaces — UK’s Memorial Coliseum. In 1941, when Dr. H.L. Donovan became president of the University, one of his first recommendations was for a building “that will properly take care of our athletics, our health service, physical education and recreation.” From this beginning came the plan that culminated in the construction of 11,500-seat Memorial Coliseum, a then-unparalleled edifice costing $3,925,000 by the time it was completed in 1950. The Wildcats got off to a fine start in the Coliseum, winning every game played in the building for the first three seasons. When Georgia Tech upset Kentucky 59-58 on Jan. 8, 1955, it marked the first time the Wildcats had lost on their home court since the days of Alumni Gym, dating back more than 12 years to Jan. 2, 1943. The loss ended a streak of 129 consecutive wins at home for Kentucky, an NCAA record that still stands today. In 26 years, Kentucky came away a loser only 38 times in 344 games. From the early 1960s on, the sale of UK basketball season tickets was closed to the public with season ticket holders taking all the allotment other than student seating. The huge building, which serves as a memorial to the nearly 10,000 Kentuckians who lost their lives in World War II and the Korean War, covers an entire city block and contains as much space as a seven-story office building. Situated along the Avenue of Champions, the Coliseum still houses UK Athletics Association offices and is the home to Kentucky women’s basketball, gymnastics and volleyball. The arena’s current capacity is 8,500. History was rewritten on March 17, 2009 when the Wildcats hosted UNLV in the first round of the NIT. Due to a scheduling conflict with Rupp Arena, Kentucky played its first game in Memorial Coliseum in over 30 years. In front of a capacity crowd, the Wildcats “rechristened” the venerable gym with a 70-60 win over the Running Rebels.

(1958), nine Southeastern Conference Tournament titles, and have defeated some of the best teams from around the country before Wildcats fans in Louisville. Kentucky began playing in Louisville in 1908, when the Cats lost to Louisville Coliseum, 30-18. UK defeated the University of Louisville, 2613 in 1914, lost to the Cards 26-15 the following year, and then defeated them 32-24 in 1916. Two years later, UK lost to Centre, 22-12, in the state championship game played in Louisville. The Cats defeated the Cards there in 1922 and then did not play again in the Derby City until the 1936-37 season, when they dropped a 41-28 decision to Notre Dame. Most of those early games were played in the Armory downtown before Freedom Hall was opened (1957). The Cats christened the new facility by capturing the 1958 NCAA title with victories over Temple and Seattle. The spacious arena has played host to Kentucky teams every year since. Kentucky’s record at Freedom Hall now stands at 56-17. The Wildcats’ overall record in Louisville is 12132: 73-25 in regular-season play, 43-3 in SEC Tournament play and 5-3 in postseason competition. Kentucky’s most impressive string of victories in Louisville came when the Cats won 32 straight games between 1946 and 1951. Only 12 of the 32 teams Kentucky has faced in Louisville have been able to knock off the Cats. The longest running series has been with Notre Dame, with the Wildcats holding a 23-9 advantage over the Fighting Irish. Kentucky established a then-Freedom Hall attendance record in 1993 as 20,060 fans jammed the arena to watch the Cats down the Indiana Hoosiers, 81-78. Seven years earlier, 20,053 fans looked on as the Cats faced SEC-rival Georgia, Dec. 30, 1986. UK fans continued a Wildcat tradition as more than 19,000 arrived the night before for a brief Kentucky shooting practice and to catch a glimpse of super-frosh Rex Chapman in December 1986. Three days earlier, the Wildcats had handed Louisville its worst defeat ever at Freedom Hall, 8551.

F) 7.1 *As part of sanctions imposed upon the UK basketball program in 1989, the NCAA ordered Kentucky to erase from the record three NCAA tournament games from the 198788 season. Kentucky’s 99-84 win over Southern, a 90-81 win over Maryland and an 80-74 loss to Villanova have been deleted from the records, thus changing the 1987-88 season record from 27-6 to 25-5. The presidents of the Southeastern Conference institutions voted to strip Kentucky of the 1987-88 SEC regular season and SEC Tournament championships. Kentucky was not forced to forfeit any of those regular season or tournament games.
