Blue and White The University of Kentucky adopted blue and white as its official colors in 1892. Originally, however, UK students had decided on blue and light yellow prior to the Kentucky-Centre College football game on December 19, 1891. The shade of blue, which is close to a royal blue, was chosen when a student asked the question, “What color blue?” At the time, Richard C. Stoll (who lettered in football at UK in 1889-94) pulled off his necktie and held it up. The students then adopted that particular shade of blue. A year later, UK students officially dropped the light yellow color for white.

Live Mascot In 2000, the University of Kentucky, in cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, adopted a three-year-old male bobcat to serve as the Wildcats’ “official” mascot. The wildcat named Blue has a permanent residence on display at a game farm just west of the state capitol in Frankfort, Ky. The current cat was born in captivity and donated by the Woods and Wetlands of Cadiz, Ky. His life expectancy is 15-25 years.

Senior Day Senior Day at Kentucky has become one of the most celebrated ceremonies in college basketball. Honoring the senior class, UK’s event is one of the most elaborate and moving programs of its kind. The pregame ceremony begins with player introductions.

Wildcats Nickname The official nickname for the University of Kentucky’s athletics teams is “Wildcats.” The nickname became synonymous with UK shortly after a 6-2 football victory over Illinois on October 9, 1909, on the road. Commandant Carbusier, then head of the military department at old State University (UK), told a group of students in a chapel service following the game that the Kentucky football team had “fought like wildcats.” Later the name Wildcats became more and more popular among UK followers as well as with members of the media. As a result, the nickname was adopted by the University.
UK Dance Team The UK Dance Team performs at halftime for all UK Hoops’ home games. In February 2005, the squad took home its first national championship in Las Vegas at the United Spirit Association (USA) College Nationals.

More than 8,500 fans attended that first practice in the then-12,000seat Memorial Coliseum. Entry into the gym was somewhat easier then — those still arriving near the stroke of midnight had no problem getting a seat. But the seed of growth had been planted for what is still an annual, free event. Since its inception in 1982, it had been held in Memorial Coliseum. But with the Coliseum’s capacity limited to 5,000 because of the construction of the new practice facility, UK held its first “Big Blue Madness” in Rupp Arena in 2005. Free tickets were distributed on Oct. 1, and about 20,000 tickets were claimed during the first 35 minutes. It took a little more than 48 hours to distribute the rest of the tickets. The event has stayed in Rupp Arena since 2005 and fans camps out days in advance to be the first in line to receive free tickets.

When former Kentucky men's basketball coach Joe B. Hall decided in 1982 that he needed to boost enthusiasm for the upcoming season, he remembered a special practice Maryland’s Lefty Dreisell had conducted nearly a decade before. He would invite the fans to a midnight practice on the first day college teams could begin preseason practice. So in October, Kentucky held an event that was billed as “Midnight Special.” For many years, until the term was trademarked, the event was called “Midnight Madness.” Now, Kentucky fans flock each October to “Big Blue Madness.”

Lee T. Todd, Jr., became the 11th president of the University of Kentucky on July 1, 2001, after serving as senior vice president of IBM’s Lotus Development Corp. President Todd is the sixth UK alumnus to hold the presidency. President Todd has concentrated his efforts and energies on helping his alma mater achieve a greater level of national prominence. He launched the University of Kentucky’s Top 20 Business Plan in December 2005. The plan is a quantitative analysis highlighting what it will take for UK to achieve its state-mandated goal of building a Top 20 public research university. Widely hailed as the first business plan by a public university in the nation, UK’s plan garnered widespread national attention. It has been featured by national media outlets and recognized by peer institutions, as several higher education leaders have visited UK’s campus to learn more about the Business Plan approach. He continues to champion UK’s outreach efforts. President Todd launched a university-funded research program called the Commonwealth Collaboratives. The initiative features 36 of UK’s top research teams, who are focused on solving the intrinsic problems that have held the state back from reaching its full potential. It is part of UK’s effort to ensure that its research hits the ground in Kentucky and changes lives throughout the Commonwealth. President Todd has spearheaded an effort to revitalize health care in Kentucky. In June 2006, UK unveiled the Commonwealth’s Medical Campus of the Future, a multiphased project aimed at providing Kentuckians with cuttingedge, 21st century health care. As part of the revamped academic medical campus, UK will construct a new, one million square foot University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital and a new College of Pharmacy.

REVIEW
Barnhart arrived at Kentucky from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (1998-2002) as athletics director. Before his term at OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-1983). Barnhart, 50, is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He received his bachelor degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. He and his wife, the former Connie Brown, have three children, Kirby, Blaire and Scott.
STAFF RECORDS
Barnhart initiated a $1.2 million annual contribution to the University’s scholarship program, a contribution that is being increased to $1.7 million this year. Social responsibility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a priority for Barnhart, who has been extremely active in community service and encourages the UK athletics staff to do the same. Not content with past successes, Barnhart’s ambitious course for the future was revealed with his recent announcement of the “15x15x15” 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 represent unprecedented achievements for UK Athletics – while continuing to expand UK Athletics’ service to the local community and Commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal of the initiative is a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500 student-athletes.
WILDCATS
Mitch Barnhart is in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, with unparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goals for the future. When he arrived in 2002, Barnhart’s first move was to totally support all 22 varsity sports with the maximum number of scholarships and coaches, along with the facilities, equipment and support staff needed to make those teams successful. The commitment to fully fund every sport produced never-before-seen successes in UK athletics, with first-ever Southeastern Conference championships in baseball, men’s golf and women’s tennis. Perhaps the biggest on-field turnaround has been in football, where Barnhart’s hire of Rich Brooks has led the Wildcats to bowl wins in three consecutive years, the first time that has been accomplished in UK’s 117 seasons in the sport. In order to make the dreams a reality, Barnhart spearheaded record-breaking growth in philanthropic giving, ticket sales and a comprehensive multi-media rights agreement. Barnhart’s connection to UK student-athletes 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 the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the Joe Craft Center, a $30 million facility that includes new practice and administrative space for a variety of sports. Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond the fields of competition. Despite athletics’ urgent financial needs,

After the final buzzer sounded to end last season, Matthew Mitchell was ready to start the 2009-10 campaign. The 2008-09 season was done, so Mitchell wasted little time in regrouping and getting ready for the upcoming year. And it has been difficult for him to contain his excitement. As last season progressed, Mitchell saw flashes of dominance from forward Victoria Dunlap; he watched Amani Franklin transform from a role player to a go-to star; he witnessed Amber Smith turn into a wily guard; and he saw his three-point threat, Carly Morrow, become a complete player. And as Mitchell looked down his bench, he saw highly touted transfers Rebecca Gray, Keyla Snowden and Crystal Riley, who would soon be eligible to play. Mitchell also knew he

had a talented freshman class coming in, headlined by Kentucky Miss Basketball A’dia Mathies. With outstanding facilities in place, a well-rounded coaching staff, and the most complete and talented roster since he arrived at UK, Mitchell was ready to embark on a breakthrough season. But he knew one thing was missing. While acknowledging his players’ dedication in past years, Mitchell knew this group could give more. He wanted them to understand that it is a privilege to play for the University of Kentucky, so he urged them to strengthen their commitment in the offseason and take the summer more seriously than previous squads have. Mitchell even instituted a dribbling program that required the players to take – and dribble – a basketball wherever they went. Mitchell’s plan was a success. The players returned to the fall semester more focused and in better shape than ever, Mitchell said. “The players that have been in the program for years now have a better and clearer understanding of what we want them to do,” Mitchell said. “You have a group of seniors and a group of juniors that really look to make something special and their opportunities are starting to dwindle.” Now is the time for players like Smith, Dunlap, Franklin, Morrow and Lydia Watkins, and their stellar preseason workouts have trickled down to the rest of the team. Coaches raved all preseason about their newfound work ethic. “I think what we have is a collection of players who are as close to having the same attitude as they’ve had since I’ve been here. It’s a positive attitude and a positive outlook,” Mitchell said. “The main thing is everybody involved has been really committed to our winning goals. We talk about discipline all the time. They’ve done a good job with the opportunity that was presented to them over the summer to get better and take advantage of that, so that’s what has me so optimistic.” Here we go indeed.

HISTORY
If there’s one reason more than any other for the increased optimism this season, it’s the massive upgrades on the perimeter. Despite losing fan favorite Carly Ormerod to graduation, UK’s biggest strength this season should be the perimeter play of its guards. The Cats are deeper, more talented and more experienced at the guard position than they’ve been under Mitchell. It starts with the trio of Amber Smith, Carly Morrow and Amani Franklin, UK’s three leaders on the perimeter. Each brings a different game to the floor, but all three have the capability of putting up big numbers any given night. Smith, who returns as the Cats’ starting point guard, is the floor general behind the offensive attack. At 5-foot-6, Smith provides lightning-quick speed and an uncanny ability to create shots for herself and her teammates. In her sophomore season, she dished out a team-leading 3.6 assists per game, but more importantly, she learned how to take control of the game and run the team. One of Smith’s primary passing mates on the outside is the sharpshooting Morrow. Although she’s struggled with consistency, she possesses an deadly accurate three-point shot at times. In 32 games with the Cats last season, she knocked down 48 treys, good for 10th in the Southeastern Conference. Although a chunk of her 7.5 points per game average came from the outside, Morrow developed an all-around game in her sophomore season. But the chief weapon in UK’s perimeter arsenal is the dynamic Franklin. At 5-foot-11, Franklin boasts versatility and big-play ability. She has the capability of playing all three guard positions (including forward) and returns as UK’s second-leading scorer after netting 11.3 points per game last season. Franklin has eclipsed the 20-point mark four times in her career, including a career-high 28-point outpouring at South Carolina last season. “Amani made tremendous strides last year from being a role player to a go-to player,” Mitchell said. “I was happy with the way she handled the transition and I think that we are looking forward to her to be great this year. As a senior who has been a double-digit scorer in the SEC, we need her to take the floor with confidence that she can be that scorer night-in and night-out. The newcomers may be there every night and might not, but we know Amani will be. We believe in her and need her to produce.”

Cats Play New 16-game SEC Slate
OUTLOOK WILDCATS
The SEC adopted a new 16-game schedule for the first time in its 28-year women’s basketball history. Although the women’s teams will now play the same number of league games as the men, the women are not playing the traditional divisional schedule and will not have divisional standings. The system increased the existing 14-game schedule by adding an additional rotating team from the East and West divisions. Kentucky’s permanent partner is South Carolina and for the next two seasons, UK will face Auburn and Arkansas as their Western homeand-home opponent. The Wildcats’ Eastern Division partners are Georgia and Vanderbilt.
The Cats lack depth and height, but Mitchell believes the frontcourt will still be strong if it can continue to play outstanding defense and rebound the ball. “There’s not as much depth there, but there is a lot of quality talent there,” Mitchell said. “Everybody has to do a good job of taking care of themselves, getting plenty of rest, eating right and making sure they stay healthy. If we stay healthy, we have more than enough talent to make a really big impact.” The Cats might be limited depth-wise in the paint, but it’s hard to be overly concerned when you have a player like All-SEC performer Victoria Dunlap roaming the low block. Dunlap has shown flashes of outright dominance at times. As a sophomore, Dunlap led the team in scoring, field goal percentage, rebounding, steals and blocks, and the 6-foot-1 forward currently ranks seventh on UK’s double-double list with 13. If Dunlap can become more consistent, she has the ability to become one of the league’s best players, according to Mitchell. “This summer was key for her because it was really the first summer she was able to develop her individual game,” Mitchell said. “Last summer she was slowed down by arthroscopic knee surgery and the summer before she was a freshman and really didn’t know what to do or what was going to be asked of her. This past summer, she was more focused than I have ever seen her and it’s shown. She’s come back shooting the ball much better and is much more aggressive offensively.” But she’ll need help down low. Eleia Roddy, another double-double threat by her own merit, will be tough to replace.
KENTUCKY
The Cats have 17 regular-season home games in Memorial Coliseum this year, including eight against SEC opponents. Highlights of the home slate include a matchup against intrastate rival Louisville on Dec. 20 for the “Pack the House” game; a Jan. 24 contest vs. Auburn on National Women in Sports and Alumni Day; the WBCA Pink Zone game on Feb. 18 vs. Florida and Senior Day Feb. 21 vs. South Carolina.

“The last couple of years we haven’t had those two or three players that you knew were going to knock down three-pointers on a consistent basis,” Mitchell said. “I think Rebecca and Keyla will help us in that respect by being those two very, very consistent three-point shooters.”

Six newcomers, consisting of three freshmen and three sophomore transfers, will don the Blue and White for the first time this season. After sitting out last year due to NCAA transfer rules, former Miss Kentucky Basketball Rebecca Gray (5-10 guard from Georgetown, Ky.) left North Carolina after one season to return to her home state. Also coming back home to play in front of her hometown is Akron transfer Keyla Snowden (5-7 guard from Lexington, Ky.). Crystal Riley (5-5, point guard from Memphis, Tenn.), a transfer from LSU at mid-semester, will be available for action after the fall semester in mid-December. Three freshmen look to make their collegiate debut. High school All-American and reigning Kentucky Miss Basketball A’dia Mathies (5-9 guard from Louisville, Ky.), Anna Cole (6-7 center from Mondovi, Wis.) and Brittany Henderson (6-2 forward from St. Altadena, Calif.) look to make their mark this season on the UK Hoops program.
Shalon Pillow Joins Coaching Staff
HISTORY HONORS
Former Tennessee standout Shalon Pillow was added to the coaching staff in July of 2009. She replaces Wendy Palmer who accepted a similar position at her alma mater, Virginia. Pillow will coach the post players. Pillow, a native of Addyston, Ohio, comes to Kentucky after spending one season as an assistant coach at Hofstra University in Long Island, N.Y., and three seasons at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Fla.
OPPONENTS
If the newcomers are “there”, UK could have the best collection of guards in the SEC. The Cats welcome four new guards – three transfers and a freshman – all of whom Mitchell expects to contribute immediately. Freshman A’dia Mathies is an athletic guard who can score at will and sophomore Crystal Riley adds a dangerous threat at the point position, but the biggest difference-makers could be local products Rebecca Gray and Keyla Snowden. Gray, a former Miss Kentucky Basketball star and Scott County product, logged 15.3 minutes and 5.2 points per game for the nationally ranked North Carolina Tar Heels in 2007-08, and Snowden, a Lexington Catholic High School graduate, torched the record books at Akron her freshman season, breaking the school record for most three-pointers in a single season with 91. During individual workouts in the preseason, assistant coach Kyra Elzy said the sharpshooting duo knocked down more than 20 three-pointers in a row. “The fans better sit back and enjoy the ride because these two individuals can rain threes,” Elzy said. “They shoot threes like people shoot free throws.” Their addition will be a much-needed boost to a team that struggled to knock down the perimeter shot in 2008-09. UK ranked near the bottom in the league in three-pointers made a season ago, but Mitchell is hoping the shooting presence of Gray and Snowden will open things up for everyone.

knock down shots last season, teams could pack it in and clog the interior game for UK. This season, Mitchell wants the Cats to play a more up-tempo offense and shoot a higher percentage from the field. Mitchell now believes he has the personnel to do that. “We definitely want to look different on offense this year,” Mitchell said. “We want to be more up-tempo and we want to use to the threepoint stripe more to our advantage, moreso than we did last year. In years past, we’ve been a lot slower paced, trying to go half court and trying to really execute and grind things out because that’s what the personnel has dictated. “Being deeper at the point guard spot now with our quality depth, speed, quickness and the overall upgrade we have being able to shoot the ball, I think we’ll look differently on offense. I think it’s going to look better.”
Junior point guard Amber Smith
Schedule Responsible for filling in for the departed Roddy will be a pair of freshmen. Forward Brittany Henderson is an athletic forward who can run the floor extremely well, and center Anna Cole will give the Cats a boost of height that they haven’t had since, well, ever. Standing at 6-foot-7, Cole is the tallest player in UK Hoops history. “Brittany Henderson and Anna Cole are both freshmen and they need to learn and get better, but their attitudes lead me to believe that they’ll come in and contribute right away,” Mitchell said. The return of Lydia Watkins will certainly be important, both from a depth standpoint as well as an experience factor. After sitting out most of last season due to personal reasons, Watkins, a guard/forward, is expected to get most of her minutes in the frontcourt. During her sophomore season, Watkins averaged 4.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in just under 13 minutes of action. “Lydia just brings a big bundle of energy that we missed last year,” Mitchell said. “She brings athleticism and a spark. She makes plays that get her teammates and the fans fired up. She is just an energy player and she is off-the-charts intelligent as a player. She knows what is going on and we need her to stay healthy and have a good year. She will be a huge part of this team if she can do that.” But no matter how great those players play, UK will still have to switch up things offensively this season to compensate for the lack of numbers in the paint. At times, they’ll use a fourguard lineup, and at others, they’ll put Franklin in the post. Mitchell, though, believes it will work to UK’s advantage. Because of the Cats’ inability to
Seventeen home games, a trip to Santa Barbara Calif., and a new 16-game Southeastern Conference slate, are features of the 2009-10 schedule. The Wildcats, who have advanced to postseason play in a school-record five consecutive seasons, will face a challenging schedule as five squads (Auburn, Florida, Louisville, Tennessee and Vanderbilt) were ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll and 15 teams appeared in postseason play last year (Boston, Butler, UTC, UCSB, Louisville, Mississippi State, MTSU, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee). “It’s particularly exciting this season as the new SEC schedule increases from 14 games to 16,” Mitchell said. “The fact that there are 16 league games for the first time in SEC history makes our schedule unique and more challenging. Every year we work really hard to construct a schedule that will prepare us for success in the SEC. We feel like we have accomplished that this year as our non-conference schedule also includes very exciting and formidable opponents.” After an exhibition game vs. Bellarmine on Nov. 9, the Wildcats open the 2009-10 schedule with back-to-back home games, playing host to first-time opponent Boston University on Friday, Nov. 13, and Butler on Sunday, Nov. 15. The Boston Terriers are looking to continue their success from last season after finishing 25-8 overall and compiling an unblemished 16-0 record in America East play. The Butler Bulldogs are coming off an impressive season which saw them notch their second-straight 20-win campaign, tie the school record for most conference wins in a season and advance to postseason play (WNIT) for the first time since 1998.

She will be a huge part of this team if she can do that.”
What impact do you see the three freshmen having this season and in the future? “They are first of all, really good people and students that come from great families and have a steadiness about them as a class. I have high optimism for them here at UK and the futures they will have. They have embraced the work and the transition from high school to college with little complaining. I think that bodes well for our future. All of them have the ability to help our team in different ways.”

Kentucky’s permanent partner is South Carolina and for the next two seasons, UK will face Auburn and Arkansas as their Western homeand-home opponent. The Wildcats’ Eastern Division partners are Georgia and Vanderbilt. “I like the 16-game schedule,” Mitchell said. “It gives us two more opportunities to compete in the best conference in the country. I respect every opponent in the SEC and I’m excited to play this year’s schedule.” Kentucky opens conference play at Georgia on Jan. 7 but returns to Memorial Coliseum for four of its next five games. Highlights of the SEC slate include a Jan. 24 matchup with Auburn when the Wildcats help celebrate the 24th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day. UK joins the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Feb. 18 for the The WBCA Pink Zone™ game vs. Florida. The Wildcats’ two seniors — Franklin and Watkins — will be honored in a pre-game ceremony prior to Kentucky’s last home game against South Carolina on Sunday, Feb. 21. UK will conclude the regular season with back-to-back road games against Tennessee (Feb. 25) and Auburn (Feb. 28). The 2010 SEC Tournament returns to Duluth, Ga., March 4-7 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center.
REVIEW
What does this team have to do to return to the NCAA Tournament? “One thing we need to do is stay healthy. If we have a year of good fortune from an injury standpoint, then I think our prospect for success goes up. That puts responsibility on the players to make sure they are doing whatever they can to make sure they are in good health - eating right, staying in good rest and those things. After that, I think that the combination of having experienced players and exciting new players will give us a chance to
STAFF
Do you think that this year’s team will be improved offensively and why? “I think they will. The big thing is that I feel we will be a better perimeter shooting team. We have been near the bottom in three-point field goal percentage and field goal percentage in the SEC statistics but have still been extremely competitive. I know we have the capability to be a better shooting team and that will be the difference in another 10 to 12 points this year. If we can average that or more a game along with our strong defensive performances then we will be better.”
WILDCATS
What facet of the game is most important to this team’s success? “There is always going to be a huge emphasis put on defense and rebounding at Kentucky. The people that I have learned the game from and grew up playing for, just always emphasized that as being important and we will do the same. They will be staples of our program and we work will hard on them. I think it is really important to become a more explosive scoring team for us to be where we want to be. We haven’t scored points at the rate that we need to in order to become a championship team in this league. I do think we need to take some steps forward offensively.”
OUTLOOK
Here we go – what does that mean to you? “To mean, it’s just the excitement of the phrase. It is almost like can’t wait to get going, can’t wait to see how this team will begin. I have so much confidence in our players and I can’t wait to begin the year.”
With just two seniors, what do you do to make up for lack of experience? “You have to work hard to be prepared every day as a coach and make sure that you have a teacher’s mentality every day when you show up to practice. The great thing that will help me with this team is that I believe in them as people and that they want to win. They have demonstrated that over the summer. Up to this point, we have not had to coach a whole lot about attitudes and that makes it easier to go in and do your part.”
UK HOOPS
What can fans expect about the style of play this season? “Most of the time when a team has a weakness in size but a strength in quickness and athleticism that generally leads them to be more up tempo and do some things that confuses the defense. We will try to be a little bit unpredictable defensively and try to get the floor spread and let our playmakers have a chance to make plays on offense. The SEC is a tough athletic league and I know we will have to be a tough rebounding team. The fact that we don’t have a lot of height doesn’t worry me that much because we have good athleticism and that usually leads to good rebounding. I would expect us to be a little bit more up tempo then we have been in the past, both offensively and defensively.”
win more games in the SEC and that is really where our season will be measured. If we perform in our league, then we will be in the NCAA Tournament.”

HISTORY
CAT SCRATCHES I chose to play basketball at UK because... “Of the coaching staff, teammates and fans.” What has given you the most joy in the last year? “Being with my teammates.” If you had a Derby horse, what would you name it? “Smitty.” Craziest thing you did this summer? “I went parasailing.” If you could Twitter something right now to UK fans about the UK Hoops team, what would you say? “If you don’t come to the games you’re going to miss something special.” Best dancer on the team is... “Myself and Carly because she gives it all she has.”
The coolest thing about UK is... “The fans.”

• Top FOUR finish in the SEC Standings • Top FOUR finish in the SEC Tournament Kentucky head coach Matthew Mitchell’s teams are known for using three “winning tools” for success: honesty, hard work and discipline. So it's no surprise that in just two seasons, he has used these tools to build a program that is quickly ascending back into the national spotlight and expects success each and every year. In Mitchell's two seasons, the Wildcats have advanced to back-to-back postseason tournaments, defeated four nationally ranked teams, including upsets over perennial powers Georgia and Tennessee, had six players receive All-SEC accolades, had five SEC Academic Honor Roll members, one SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year, and all six players in their final season of eligibility received their degrees. Mitchell became Kentucky's head coach on April 23, 2007, when he was hired by Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart. A whirlwind salesman, Mitchell presented a vision of UK Hoops as a powerhouse program...and a warm and loving family. His pitch has resonated with recruits and their families as he has signed one of the top recruiting classes in the country for next season. UK's roster will boast three highly touted freshmen to go along with three Division I-A transfers and five returning players. In his first season with the Wildcats, Mitchell led UK to a school-record fourth consecutive postseason tournament. The Wildcats posted a 17-16 overall record and finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference with an 8-6 mark, just one win shy of the school record. The eight league wins were the most conference wins by a first-year head coach in UK Hoops history. Mitchell also became the first head coach in UK Hoops history to lead their team to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament in his/her debut season. The Wildcats earned a first-round bye and upset No. 23/21 Georgia in the quarterfinals (57-50) before falling to the NCAA Final Four® participant LSU in the semis. UK went on to defeat Middle Tennessee and James Madison in the postseason WNIT before falling to eventual champion Marquette in the quarterfinals, 69-64. In Year Two, despite another tough schedule and injuries to key players throughout the season, the Wildcats again advanced to postseason play with a second-round finish in
72
the WNIT. It marked their school-record fifth consecutive postseason tournament appearance. Mitchell became the first head coach since Terry Hall in the 1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons to advance to postseason play in the first two seasons as head coach. The Cats finished 16-16 overall, 5-9 in the SEC and defeated No. 13/19 Tennessee 66-56, their first win over the Lady Vols in Memorial Coliseum in 23 years. Mitchell also captured his 30th win at UK on Feb. 5, 2009, vs. South Carolina. He did it in only 56 games, becoming the secondfastest coach to reach 30 wins behind Terry Hall who earned it in only 38 games during her first two seasons in 1980 and 1981. Mitchell came to Kentucky in the spring of 2007 when Mickie DeMoss resigned as head coach after four seasons. So when Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart went about the daunting task of finding a coach whose skills, personality and charisma could build on the success and excitement that DeMoss had brought to the program, he immediately thought of Mitchell, who had played a key role in UK Hoops landing four brilliant prep performers in the fall of 2004 – a class ranked No. 6 by the All-Star Girls Report. In his first season as an assistant coach under DeMoss at UK, Mitchell helped lure former Wildcats Chanté Bowman, Samantha Mahoney and Eleia Roddy away from Big Ten powers Michigan State and Ohio State while convincing 6-6 center Sarah Elliott, a Kentucky high school legend, to stay at home. Mitchell then became a key factor in the development and improvement of UK's young post players. Elliott ranked in the top 10 in two Southeastern Conference statistical categories and was named to the 200405 SEC All-Freshman team. Forward Jennifer Humphrey – then a sophomore – also flourished under Mitchell's direction, leading the team in rebounding and ranking 15th in that category in the SEC in 2004-2005. She finished her college career as UK's second all-time leading rebounder. When Barnhart hired DeMoss in 2003, he was looking for an architect to build UK Hoops into one of the coun-

try’s elite women’s programs. Along with Mitchell and former assistants Niya Butts and Pam Stackhouse, DeMoss went about the business of executing that blueprint almost immediately, leading the Wildcats into postseason play in each of her final three seasons in Lexington. DeMoss’ four seasons at the helm provided one glorious moment after another, most notably the upset that rocked college basketball when the Wildcats defeated top-ranked Tennessee in January of 2006. Later that spring, DeMoss led Kentucky to its first NCAA tournament since 1999. When DeMoss resigned and buzz around the Bluegrass quickly shifted to her replacement, Barnhart needed to look no further than 60 miles East on Interstate 64, where Mitchell already had established himself as an up-and-coming head coach at in-state OVC school Morehead State. When Barnhart interviewed Mitchell, he was the head coach at Morehead State and fresh off two exciting campaigns in which he had revived a declining Lady Eagles women’s basketball program with a 30-29 record (.508) – the third-highest coach’s winning percentage in school history. The Lady Eagles were coming off a 5-22 record a year prior to Mitchell’s arrival and earned a 16-13 overall mark and 11-9 league record in his first season. The Lady Eagles also reached the semifinals of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. In his second season, Mitchell guided Morehead to a third-place finish in the league with a school-record 13 conference wins. During the season, the Lady Eagles strung together a nine-game winning streak, the program's longest in 20 seasons. Mitchell’s two-year MSU conference record of 24-16 (.600) marks the second-highest OVC winning percentage in school history. He was only the third coach in the program’s history to post an overall winning record during his tenure. Barnhart also was impressed with Mitchell’s coaching pedigree. He had served as an assistant coach and recruiter at Florida under Carol Ross beginning in 2000. He helped the Gators compile a 51-36 record, and during his first two seasons the Gators recorded a 19-9 league record en route to two NCAA Tournament (2001 and 2002) appearances. With Mitchell's help, the Gators had a program-tying 24 wins and tied the school record with 11 SEC wins in 2001. He stayed at Florida to serve under then-new UF Coach Carolyn Peck during the 2002-03 season. As the primary recruiter at UF, Mitchell brought in the nation’s ninth-ranked recruiting class in 2002 and the No. 2-ranked class by All-Star Girls Report in 2003. The Louisville, Miss., native began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Tennessee under Hall of Fame Coach Pat Summitt during the Lady Vols' run to the Final Four in 2000. UT advanced to the national championship game before losing to top-ranked Connecticut. The Lady Vols finished No. 2 in the national polls with a 33-4 overall record and a 13-1 mark in the SEC. Prior to his stint at Tennessee, Mitchell spent one year in Yazoo City, Miss., as a coach and teacher at Manchester Academy. He taught American history and served as both the boys' and girls' head basketball coach. A 1995 graduate of Mississippi State, Mitchell’s first headcoaching experience came in 1996 at Central Holmes Academy High School in Lexington, Miss. Mitchell performed multiple duties at the school, including head coach of both basketball teams as well as the track and golf teams. He also served as the defensive coordinator for the football team. Mitchell, 38, is married to Jenna Ramsey Mitchell of Amelia Island, Fla., and has a daughter, Lacy Mitchell, of

GETTING TO KNOW MATTHEW MITCHELL
Who are your coaching influences or mentors? “My dad, John Mitchell, has been my greatest coaching influence. He taught me the winning tools of honesty, hard work and discipline. He always challenged us to be honest. His work-ethic is phenomenal and he’s always had a lot of discipline in his life. Mickie DeMoss and Carol Ross have had the biggest impact on my development as a college coach. Farrell Rigby, my high school coach, also was a big influence on me because he was the first person to give me an opportunity to coach.” What type of player fits the mold of your program or philosophy? “A player who is honest, hard-working and has discipline.”

When did you know you wanted to be a coach? “I was in the 10th grade. I loved athletics and played everything. But in 10th grade I realized that I was not going to play in the NBA and was not going to make a living playing basketball. I knew then that coaching would be the way to go.”

Is it true that you were the lead singer in a band called “Coach Mitchell and the B Team?” “Yes. It’s true. It all came about when I was joking with a friend of mine about what a good singer I was and I asked him when was he going to let me sing with his band. Their singer couldn’t make it for a rehearsal one weekend and he called me. The rest is history. We were local celebrities in Louisville, Miss., from 1995-99.” How would you describe your parents? “My mom and dad are people of great integrity and great character. They’ve been married 45 years and have lived their lives in a manner which has given our family respect in our community. They worked with the Cub Scouts for eight years and impacted countless boys’ lives in that process. My mother taught school and they’ve been very active in our church. They’re just really solid, hard-working people that have always cared about their community.” You’ve been married now for four years and Jenna is a fantastic cook. What is your favorite dish that she makes? “It’s hard to narrow it down because she is a wonderful cook. She makes a great meatloaf and you know you’re a good cook if you can make meatloaf. It is insane how good it is.”
What is one thing most people don’t know about you? “I’m an Eagle Scout. My whole family was involved with the Scouts and all of my brothers are Eagles as well.” Most people probably don’t know that you do some great impersonations of people. Who is your favorite to impersonate? “Van Chancellor is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve always done a pretty good Bobby Bowden impersonation and the people in Florida like that one.” What is your favorite professional sports team? “The Cincinnati Reds. I fell in love with the Big Red Machine back when I was about five or six years old. I wore Johnny Bench’s number back when I was a catcher. I just always loved the Reds. I can’t believe that I ended up living in a place that is so close to them.”

ASSISTANT COACH AND RECRUITING COORDINATOR ELZY ENTERS HER SECOND SEASON ON THE SIDELINES AT KENTUCKY Kyra Elzy is in her second season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Kentucky. She also is responsible for coaching the guards with Matt Insell. “Kyra Elzy is a consummate professional,” UK Coach Matthew Mitchell said. “She is an incredibly hard worker who cares greatly about Kentucky women’s basketball. She shows that by how she organizes recruiting, connects with players and the way she goes out and represents our program. I don’t have enough positive superlatives to describe her. In my mind, she is the best in the business. I am thrilled everyday to be able to work with her. She pushes me to be a better coach and I’m so grateful for her contributions.” In her first season back in her home state, Elzy helped the Wildcats advance to their school-record fifth consecutive post-season tournament with a second-round finish in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. She also hit the recruiting trail with a vengence, helping UK sign one of the nation’s top recruiting classes. Prior to Kentucky, Elzy spent four years as an assistant coach at Kansas. As the recruiting coordinator, she helped the Jayhawks land its first top 20 signing class in 2007 under head coach Bonnie Henrickson. She also helped KU earn two post-season bids in her four seasons. In 2006-07, KU finished 17-16 overall and advanced to the third round of the WNIT while guard Danielle McCray was named Big 12 honorable mention. Elzy also coached at Western Kentucky for two seasons under head coach Mary Taylor Cowles. She coordinated the recruiting efforts for the Lady Toppers and also worked with the guards and handled individual workouts. The Lady Toppers posted 20+ wins both of her seasons at WKU and in 2002-03 WKU won the Sun Belt Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Elzy helped coach Sun Belt Player of the Year Shala Reese and Newcomer of the Year Tiffany Porter-Talbert. In 2003-04, WKU was the Sun Belt runner-up and advanced to the quarterfinals of the WNIT. Before coaching, Elzy spent one year as an administrative assistant under Henrickson at Virginia Tech. She was responsible for team travel, scheduling community service events, and working with the women’s basketball summer camps. As a student-athlete, Elzy tutored under the nation’s alltime winningest coach in Hall of Famer Pat Summitt at Ten-
nessee. The four-year letter winner, who actually spent five seasons in a Lady Vol uniform after missing the 1998-99 season with an injury, was a member of two national championship teams (1997 and 1998) and a national runner-up squad (2000). During her time in Knoxville, she played in 126 games and earned the Holly Warlick Defensive Player of the Year award in 1997 and the Unsung Hero Award in 1998. Elzy became just the fifth freshman in Tennessee history to start her first game as a Lady Vol when she started at guard in the 1996-97 season opener against Austin Peay. She also earned another distinction during her playing career, becoming the first Tennessee player to earn her master’s degree while still playing. Also excelling in the classroom, Elzy was named to the 2000 and 2001 SEC All-Academic teams. She was a threetime Lady Vol Academic Achiever, a distinction given to student-athletes who maintain a 3.0 grade point average for the year and earned Tennessee’s Dean’s List honors each semester while in graduate school. The 30-year-old is a 1996 graduate of Oldham County High School where she guided the Lady Colonels to four district championships, two regional titles and a state semifinals appearance during her prep career. Her outstanding prep career earned her induction into the Kentucky Lions Club Hall of Fame in 2009. Elzy holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in cultural studies in education with an emphasis in sports psychology from Tennessee.

Cats Take Historic Win Over Lady Vols Kentucky’s 66-56 win over No. 13/19 Tennessee on Feb. 19, 2009 marked the Wildcats’ first win over the Lady Vols in Memorial Coliseum in 23 years (Jan. 24, 1986). It also was UK’s first win over a ranked opponent of the season and marked Matthew Mitchell’s fourth career victory over a ranked foe.
The 10-point win was the third-highest margin of victory over the Lady Vols in the all-time series.
Dunlap, Roddy Named All-SEC Sophomore Victoria Dunlap and senior Eleia Roddy were named to the All-Southeastern Conference second team by the league coaches. Dunlap also was named to the second team by The Associated Press while Roddy was an honorable mention. Dunlap, also an All-SEC freshman team selection, started at forward in all 32 games for the Wildcats. The 6-1 sophomore ranked second in the SEC in rebounding with 9.1 rebounds per game and climbed to No. 7 on UK’s single season rebounding list with 290. She was UK’s leader in scorer (12.8 points per game), blocks (38) and steals (57). With 13 career double-doubles, including 10 during the 200809 season, she charted the second-most double-doubles in the SEC behind Roddy. Dunlap also was named pre-season All-SEC by the league coaches. Despite four career knee surgeries all on her right knee, Roddy became one of the most dominant post players in the conference. In her final season, she ranked second on the team in scoring (12.1 ppg) and rebounding (8.2 rpg). In the SEC, she ranked 13th overall in scoring, fourth in rebounding (8.3) and fifth in FT percentage (.793). The 6-3 center led the SEC and ranked 13th nationally with 12 double-doubles on the year. With seven straight from Dec. 12-Jan.3, she joined Valerie Still as the only players in school history to chart six or more double-doubles in a row. It marked the sixth consecutive season UK has had at least one player selected to the All-SEC teams.

Did you know that basketball began on the University of Kentucky campus as a women’s sport? Its first game was on Feb. 21, 1903 vs. Kentucky University (now Transylvania). That game was followed one year later by the formation of a men’s team. Women’s basketball at UK, then known as Kentucky State College, was first led by Coach Jane Todd Watson. Eight coaches followed, including former University of Florida president and U.S. Commissioner of Education Dr. John J. Tigert (1911-15, 1917), before Sarah Blanding took over the coaching reigns in the 1919-20 season. She coached three years before becoming a player-captain in 1923 under a young post-graduate student named A.B. “Happy” Chandler. Blanding eventually would become president of Vassar College while Chandler would become a two-time governor of Kentucky, U.S. Senator and Baseball Commissioner. The 1924 team, coached by Bart Peak, swept its 10-game schedule and claimed not only the championship of Kentucky, but the championship of the South. As the 1924-25 season got under way, the University Senate passed a bill to abolish women’s basketball because basketball had proven to be a strenuous sport for boys and therefore was too strenuous for girls and due to inadequate facilities and general mores of the time. Women’s basketball finally reached varsity status after a 50-year absence and Assistant Athletics Director Sue Feamster was named the first coach in the new era. She guided the first varsity squad in the 1974-75 season to a 169 record.
SUE FEAMSTER • 1971-76
MICKIE DEMOSS • 2003-07
RECORD AT UK: 64-39 (62.1%)
RECORD AT UK: 71-56 (55.9%)
Sue Feamster became UK’s first head women’s basketball coach of the modern era when the program regained its varsity status in 1974. Women’s basketball had been a varsity sport at UK from 1903 until 1925, when the University senate passed a bill abolishing the sport for being “too strenuous” for females. Feamster began coaching the UK women in 1971-72, when the squad earned a 10-3 record, and remained head coach as the squad rolled up a 26-15 record over the next two seasons. After women’s basketball became a varsity sport, Feamster helped the program to a fast start, passing along to incoming coach Debbie Yow a squad that included AllAmerican Pam Browning, who still holds several spots in the UK record book, and standout Ceal Barry.

RECORD AT UK: 79-40 (66.4%) In the last year of her four seasons at Kentucky, Debbie Yow’s Wildcats stormed to a 24-5 record and earned the school’s first trip to the national playoffs — then the Association of Intercollegiate Women’s Athletics (AIAW) Tournament. It was clear then that both Yow and the UK women’s program were primed for success. And just as the Cats continued to earn postseason berths, Yow’s career remained on the fast track as well. Yow enjoyed a successful coaching stint at Florida and subsequent athletics administration positions at Florida and UNCGreensboro. She then became Athletics Director at St. Louis, and since 1994, has been AD at Maryland. She served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Athletics Directors.
RECORD AT UK: 138-66 (67.6%) Terry Hall holds the laudable distinction of being the winningest coach in UK women’s basketball history as well as owning the best winning percentage of any coach to guide the program. Hall coached the Cats to seven straight winning seasons, starting with a 25-6 record and a trip to the second round of the AIAW national tournament before falling by one point to Maryland to end the 1980-81 season. The NCAA welcomed women’s basketball into its ranks the following year, and that historical season ended with the Cats falling to eventual national champion Louisiana Tech in the Midwest Regional finals on the Lady Techsters’ home floor. After the Cats failed to make the NCAA tournament in 1986-87, Hall left coaching for the business sector. But three years later, she accepted the head coaching job at Wright State University, where she coached for seven years before succumbing to cancer in 1997.

RECORD AT UK: 134-97 (58%) Sharon Fanning guided the Cats through eight seasons and despite a dubious beginning that saw her squad record back-to-back losing seasons, she never suffered another losing season. In just her third year, Fanning coached the Wildcats to an impressive 23-8 record while also edging them into the top 25. UK won three tournaments titles in 1989-90, including an 85-76 come-from-behind victory over Toledo in the NWIT Championship. The following season, the Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament, UK’s first appearance in the Big Dance in five years. Prior to her stint at UK, Fanning was a graduate assistant at Tennessee and a head coach at UTChattanooga. Since leaving UK, she has been head coach at Mississippi State University.
BERNADETTE MATTOX • 1995-2003 RECORD AT UK: 91-135 (40.2%) Bernadette Mattox spent eight seasons at the helm of the Wildcats basketball program. She began her coaching career at her alma mater, Georgia, but became a household name in Kentucky and across the nation when she was hired by former Wildcats coach Rick Pitino as the first female Division I assistant “bench” coach for a men’s team in 1990. She was promoted to assistant athletics director at Kentucky for one year before taking over the UK women’s program in 1995. Her most notable season came in 1998-99, when she led the Cats to their first 20-plus win season and first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in nearly a decade. The Cats won their first NCAA Tournament game in 17 years, finished with a 21-11 overall record and captured seven wins in the SEC, the most conference wins in school history. Since leaving UK in 2003, Mattox has served as an assistant coach for the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.

Mickie DeMoss will best be remembered as the architect who took over a struggling program in 2003 and in just a short amount of time rebuilt UK women’s basketball back into a national contender. During her tenure the Wildcats participated in postseason play three consecutive seasons (one NCAA Tournament and two WNIT) and captured backto-back 20-win seasons (2005-06 and 2006-07) for the first time since the 1989-90 and 1990-91 teams accomplished the feat. DeMoss was named the 2006 SEC Coach of the Year, a UK Hoops first, after guiding the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven seasons. The Cats posted a 22-9 overall record in 2005-06, including a school-record nine conference wins and Kentucky made national headlines when it defeated No. 1 Tennessee in Rupp Arena. It was UK’s first win over a top-ranked team in school history. DeMoss also drastically increased fan attendance, as UK ranked in the top three of the SEC and top 20 in the national average attendance poll all four of her seasons.UK went from averaging 1,694 fans prior to her arrival in 2003 to breaking the school record with 5,863 fans per game in her final season. Prior to UK, DeMoss spent 18 seasons at Tennessee, helping the Lady Vols garner six national championship titles and 13 Final Four appearances. She also was the head coach four seasons at Florida (197983). In eight seasons as a head coach, DeMoss has a career record of 116-124, including a 26-65 mark in the SEC. Since leaving UK, DeMoss has served as an assistant coach at Texas.

Women's basketball first came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference for the 1982-83 season. Games played between SEC teams before that time are not counted in the all-time SEC standings, since there was no uniform number of conference games played each season prior to that time. From 1980-85, the SEC champion was the winner of the SEC Tournament. Since 1986, the SEC champion has been determined by a round robin schedule. The tournament continues to be held to decide the recipient of the league's automatic NCAA tournament bid.

# Led the nation
Situated along Euclid Avenue on the University of Kentucky campus, Memorial Coliseum is the home of one of the richest basketball traditions in the nation. It is also home to the University of Kentucky women’s basketball team, a team that has returned glory and excitement to a facility that has known a wealth of both. For 25 years, the historic coliseum housed the renowned Kentucky Wildcats men’s team which won two national championships and 16 Southeastern Conference titles while playing in the facility under the direction of legendary coaches Adolph Rupp and Joe B. Hall. When the Wildcats moved downtown to 23,000seat Rupp Arena in 1976, the then-11,500 seat Coliseum became the exclusive basketball home for the women’s team. Although the Coliseum is nicknamed “the house that Rupp built,” University President H.L. Donovan is credited with beginning the plans for the Coliseum’s construction in 1941 when he recommended a building that would “properly take care of our athletics, our health services, our physical education and our recreation.” Memorial Coliseum was completed in 1950 at a cost of $3,925,000. The huge building was dedicated to serve as a memorial to the nearly 10,000 Kentuckians who lost their lives in World War II and the Korean conflict. The Coliseum covers an entire city block and has as much space as a seven-story office building. A new state-of-the-art floor was installed in the summer of 2007, as the original 52-year-old floor was taken out in place of a playing surface that will be much more friendly to each athlete’s tendencies and will cut down on injuries. A new sound system and speaker cluster were added in the summer of 2008.

BIG GAMES AT MEMORIAL COLISEUM February 28, 1982 SEC Championship Led by SEC Tournament MVP Valerie Still and all-tournament selection Patty Jo Hedges, the Lady Kats defeated Tennessee, 80-74, to capture the SEC Championship in Memorial Coliseum. Following the game, the ecstatic home crowd stormed the court for a victory celebration that lasted nearly 30 minutes.

February 5, 1983 On this date, 10,622 enthusiastic fans packed Memorial Coliseum to watch sixth-ranked Kentucky come from 10 points down in the second half for an 80-66 upset win over No. 5 Old Dominion. The crowd was the largest in history to watch a women’s college basketball game, and during the Cats’ three remaining home games, UK played to an average of 7,600 fans.
After dropping six of its previous 11 games, Kentucky regrouped to upset the 11th-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols 96-82 before a Memorial Coliseum crowd estimated at 3,400. Forward Leslie Nichols led UK with 26 points, 19 in the first half. Debbie Miller had 20, while Karen Mosley and Jodie Whitaker each added 18 points as Kentucky recorded its largest margin of victory over the Lady Vols. Former Lady Vol All-American Cindy Noble was serving as a UK assistant coach under Terry Hall.
Trailing 65-64, Kentucky’s Pattresa Leonard sandwiched two free throws around a Florida timeout with :29 left, and blocked a shot by senior Florida center Erika Lang 20 seconds later to help Kentucky to a 67-65 victory vs. Florida. Junior guard Kristi Cushenberry, who led UK with 18 points, scored her 1,000th point on this night.

The Cats won their 13th UK Invitational Tournament with a 75-54 win over national powerhouse Connecticut, which featured sophomore Rebecca Lobo, who would later become one of the most heralded female players ever.
February 7, 1999
March 21, 2008
Playing host to Coach Bernadette Mattox’s alma mater Georgia, the Cats defeated the eighth-ranked Bulldogs, 8076. It marked UK’s first win over UGA in six years and Mattox’s first over a top-10 opponent.
Kentucky battled back from an 11-point deficit to notch a 68-66 overtime win against Middle Tennessee in the second round of the WNIT. Sophomore Lydia Watkins charted her first career double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds. With time ticking down in overtime, MTSU’s Amber Holt nailed a wide open three pointer with five seconds left to cut UK’s lead to just one, 67-66. MTSU fouled Chelsea Chowning with two seconds to go and she hit one of two free-throw attempts to clinch the victory.
January 6, 2000 LaTonya McDole hit a running one-hander in the lane at the buzzer to give the Cats a 71-69 upset over No. 5 Auburn in the Cats’ SEC home opener. Despite playing with foul trouble most of the game, McDole led UK with 21 points in the Cats’ first win over a top-five opponent in 15 years.
January 29, 2004 It was an exciting and emotional conference matchup, as border rival and top-ranked Tennessee met Kentucky in the second-largest attended women’s basketball game in Memorial Coliseum history. After spending 18 seasons on the sidelines at UT, Coach Mickie DeMoss went head-to-head with her former boss Pat Summitt. Trailing by only five points with two minutes remaining and despite a career-high 29 points from Sara Potts, the Wildcats fell to the Lady Vols 81-72.
Sophomore Stacey Reed drove to the Coliseum’s midcourt and made a three-point desperation shot as the horn sounded to push UK to a 62-60 victory over 17th-ranked and 1992 NCAA runner-up Western Kentucky. The win marked the second consecutive year the Cats had beaten nationally ranked WKU in the final seconds of the game.
January 16, 1994 Suffering from a sore back, Tedra Eberhart scored six of Kentucky’s final 10 points and broke a 71-71 tie with SEC foe Mississippi State with 3:19 left on the clock for the 81-79 win. The victory marked No. 300 for head coach Sharon Fanning.

Senior guard Samantha Mahoney turned in the finest performance of her career by scoring a personal-best 30 points, including five three-pointers, to help direct the Wildcats to an 84-76 win over James Madison in the third round of the WNIT. Mahoney, who helped the Cats rally from a sixpoint second-half deficit, became the first Wildcat to score 30 or more point in a game since standout Sara Potts scored 32 against Xavier in the 2005 WNIT third round.
February 19, 2009
Senior Sara Potts sank a jumper from the left wing with 35 seconds remaining, as Kentucky rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to defeat Xavier, 67-62, and advance to the semifinal round of the WNIT. The shot by Potts, who scored 29 of her 31 points in the second half, gave the Wildcats their first lead since the 17-minute mark of the first half.
For the first time since 1986, Kentucky defeated No. 13/19 Tennessee in Memorial Coliseum. The Wildcats, who held a sizeable advantage for the majority of the second half, beat the Lady Vols 66-56 in front of a season-high 6,868 fans to mark the third-largest victory against Tennessee in 51 meetings. Amani Franklin and Eleia Roddy each scored a team-high 18 points to give Kentucky its second win against Tennessee since 2006.

March 19, 2009
This was a special day in Memorial Coliseum as over 570 Kentuckians, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the U.S. Armed Forces, were honored during halftime of the Ole Miss game. Since its completion in 1950, Memorial Coliseum has borne the names of thousands of Kentucky’s war dead. But the lists of names – framed and hung on the walls of the ramps along two sides of the coliseum – had not been updated since the end of the Vietnam War. Their names now join those of their predecessors along the walls in the Coliseum.
Appearing in a school-record fifth consecutive postseason, Kentucky appeared to have locked up a WNIT first round victory against Chattanooga. But, the Cats gave up a 12-point second-half lead, when the Lady Mocs’ Erin Ogan drained a three-pointer with 13 seconds remaining to force overtime. Competing their first overtime contest of the 200809 campaign, the Wildcats outscored Chattanoga 15-10 in the extra period en route to the 81-76 victory.

Kentucky hit a season-best 20-of-24 free throws and out-rebounded Auburn 44-34 to take a thrilling 62-55 win against the No. 20/18 Tigers in front of 4,511 fans. It was the Cats’ first win against a ranked opponent of the season and the first win over Auburn in Memorial Coliseum since 2000. Kentucky native and senior Chelsea Chowning, who played just eight minutes in the game, came off the bench to drain a pivotal three-pointer to give the Wildcats the lead with 2:09 to go. She hit 3-of-4 free throws in the game’s final two minutes, including one after Auburn head coach Nell Fortner was assessed a technical foul with 31 seconds left in the game.

UK Great Valerie Still
Some programs have a once-in-a-lifetime player who serves as a standard for all future student-athletes. An exceptional personality. An outstanding role model. A great basketball player. For Kentucky, that player is Valerie Still. Although Still played long ago (1979-83), she remains the “Top Cat” in UK women’s basketball annals. She was honored as such on January 12, 2003 with a jersey retirement ceremony at halftime of the Alabama game. She became the first female letter winner in any UK sport to have her jersey retired. Still is the leader among all Wildcats (men or women) for career scoring (2,763) and rebounding (1,525). She was a consensus All-American. She led the program in scoring four straight seasons with a career average of 23.2. At one point during the 1981-82 season, she led the nation in both scoring and rebounding before finishing second in both categories (24.8 ppg and 14.3 rpg). She led the Cats to their highest national ranking (4th) in 1983 and helped UK roll up a 30game home court win streak from 1980-82. In 1983, Still led the sixth-ranked Cats to an 80-66 upset over powerhouse Old Dominion before a record crowd of 10,622 in UK's Memorial Coliseum. After leaving Kentucky, Still had a successful career in the Italian Professional League. While in Italy, Still was a television actress and hosted her own TV show, "Still Basket." She is also an accomplished print model and a professional caliber jazz, pop and concert pianist. Upon her return to the United States, Still became a charter member of the American Basketball League for Women and was a two-time MVP of the ABL Championship Series. Still later played for the Washington Mystics of the WNBA before retiring from basketball. She also was an assistant coach for the Orlando Miracle for two seasons. Still returned to Lexington to complete her degree in animal sciences and graduated with honors in 2001. She went on to earn a master’s degree in African American and African studies at The Ohio State University and is currently working on a doctorate in sports and humanties from there as well. In September 2005, Still was inducted into the charter class in the newly created UK Athletics Hall of Fame. She was the only female of the 88 inductees. Still lives in Powell, Ohio with her son, Aaron. Along with teaching and completing her doctorate at OSU, Still runs The Valerie Still Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that works to ensure that girls are encouraged and instructed to develop their talents.
UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart and UK President Dr. Lee Todd Jr. present Still with her Hall of Fame honor in September 2005.

Still was presented with the key to the city of Lexington in 2003 by Mayor Teresa Isaac.

Bearer agrees to indemnify and save harmless the SEC, its member institutions, and their respective agents, employees, directors, officers, student-athletes, coaches, and contractors, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands and causes of action asserted by persons and entities other than the SEC and its member institutions (jointly “Claims”) arising out of any act or omission, or anything done or purported to have been done, by Bearer, including but not limited to Claims arising from Bearer’s breach of any term or condition hereof. With respect to any Claim that might give rise to liability of the Bearer as an indemnitor, the indemnified party shall: (a) have the right to fully participate in the litigation of such claim with counsel selected by the indemnified party at the sole expense of the Bearer, and (b) not be obligated, without its consent, to participate in any settlement of such Claim. SEC Real-Time Internet Policy By acceptance and use of an SEC media credential, the holder agrees to the following conditions for any and all athletic events hosted by the SEC and its member institutions: 1. The SEC and its member institutions grant a media organization a limited license to use certain gathered information on the media organization's own Internet or online site beginning at the start of an athletic event and up to the conclusion of such event, all subject to the following limitations and conditions: (a) No more than 10 still photographs may be used for news coverage of the game and other editorial purposes during the event. (b) Video tape may only be shown as part of a single, non-archived, online "simulcast" of a television station's regularly-scheduled news program. (c) While a game is in progress, the use of textual statistical information is time-delayed and limited in amount (e.g., updates pertaining to score, injuries and national, conference or institutional record-breaking performances, a condensed half-time story) so that an organization's Internet or online game coverage does not undercut the authorized and rights-paying fee organization's rights to play-by-play 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.

The University of Kentucky is in the midst of a landmark 10-year deal for the University’s expanded multi-media marketing rights. The agreement was signed in 2005 with IMG College (formerly Host Communications) and Gray Television. IMG partnered with Lexington’s top-rated television station, WKYT, to pay the University $80.5 million over the 10 years of the agreement, making it one of the most lucrative deals of its kind in NCAA history. Also, enhancing Kentucky’s national presence is the SEC’s new unprecedented 15-year deal with ESPN. Beginning in 2009, at least 60 SEC women’s basketball games will be available on national or regional television. “The SEC Network, through the efforts of ESPN, will be the largest college sports syndication television package in the country,” SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. “The SEC will be the most widely distributed conference in the country, utilizing every known distribution platform, including national network, national cable, over the air syndication, regional cable, Internet, broadband, and mobile TV phones, all of which will be supplemented by the SEC Digital Network and our local institutional packages.” ESPN’s deal is reportedly worth more than $2 billion, the most lucrative in history for a college athletics conference.

Neil Price, a 14-year radio veteran, enters his fifth season as the Voice of UK Hoops on the Big Blue Sports Network. He also serves as the host of the Coach Matthew Mitchell and the Coach Gary Henderson radio show, the Wildcat Sports Update (a daily radio feature on the network, highlighting UK's Olympic sports programs), and is the radio play-by-play announcer for UK Baseball. Price had a memorable first season as a member of the Big Blue Network, serving as the play-by-play announcer for a UK Hoops squad that advanced to its first NCAA Tournament since 1998-99 and a UK baseball squad that completed an historic worst-to-first turnaround to claim the school’s first SEC title. His last two seasons, UK Hoops has advanced to the third and quarterfinal rounds of the WNIT, respectively. Price, a native of Russellville, Tenn., joined the Big Blue Sports Network from Middle Tennessee State, where he spent three seasons as the school's broadcast coordinator. He called the action for the Blue Raiders' women's basketball and baseball teams, and was the sideline reporter for football broadcasts. Price, a 2003 graduate of MTSU, received his bachelor's degree in mass communications with an emphasis in electronic media journalism. While working at MTSU, he also began his master's degree in physical education with an emphasis in sport management. Prior to MTSU, he attended Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tenn., where he earned an associates degree in general studies with an emphasis in broadcasting. At the young age of 15, Price began working in the broadcasting business at WCRK in Morristown. He learned everything from serving as a studio producer for high school and college sports broadcasts to disc jockeying during morning and afternoon drives. He even worked as a part-time news anchor and reporter. It was also where he debuted as a radio sports broadcaster, serving as a playby-play announcer and color commentator on Morristown East HS football, basketball, and baseball broadcasts. Price, 28, resides in Lexington. The rights to the UK broadcasts are owned by Host Communications and Gray Television with WLAP Radio Lexington serving as the flagship station.

SEC Player of the Week The SEC will name a Player of the Week and a Freshman of the Week throughout the 2009-10 season. Each week’s selection will be selected on Monday for Tuesday a.m. publication.
SEC History The Southeastern Conference was formed Dec. 8-9, 1932, to include 13 schools: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. Frank L. McVey of Kentucky was the first president of the league. The first commissioner was former Mississippi governor Martin Conner (1940-48), followed by Bernie Moore (1948-66), A.M. “Tonto” Coleman (1966-72), Dr. Boyd McWhorter (1972-86), Dr. Harvey Schiller (198690) and Roy Kramer (1990-2002). The first SEC champions were crowned in 1933 in baseball, basketball, football and outdoor track. Cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and indoor track were added later. The SEC began recognizing women’s championships during the 1979-80 school year and women’s athletics officially came under the auspices of the conference office on Sept. 1, 1984. The SEC currently regulates nine men’s sports and 11 women’s sports. The men’s sports are baseball, basketball, football, golf, swimming, tennis and track (indoor, outdoor and cross country). The women’s sports are basketball, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and volleyball.
SEC GAME FORMAT The conference schedule has increased from 14 games to 16, beginning in the 2009-10 season. Each institution will play every other member institution once. Each team will also play five additional games consisting of one permanent opponent (South Carolina), two rotating opponents from its division (Georgia and Vanderbilt) and two rotating opponents from the other division (Auburn and Arkansas). The league as a whole is divided into the Eastern and Western Divisions but the women will not use a division format for scheduling.

A special award was introduced at halftime of the Vanderbilt game last season called the “Susan B. Feamster Trailblazer Award.” Presented by the Victory Club, the award is aimed to recognize alumni or friends of the program who have helped grow the game of basketball through their actions. Pictured above, former Wildcats’ head coach Sue Feamster presented the inaugural award to the first recipient, Gloria Singletary. Singletary, who was not able to attend, was instrumental in regaining the varsity status of women’s basketball in 1974. The wife of former UK President, the late Otis A. Singletary, Mrs. Singletary’s efforts have been felt across the entire UK campus, from athletics to art and beyond. The Victory Club also annually hosts an end-of-the-year banquet for the women’s basketball team called "Hoopla." For the past three seasons, the Victory Club has presented “A Day in the Park with Matthew Mitchell.” The event is free for UK Hoops fans and their families. It features food, inflatable games, music and a meet and greet with the Wildcat coaches and players.
