Well that doesn’t seem to be the case, as it is being reported that Orton left for California to prepare for the NBA Draft before taking the time to finish out his last semester at UK.”

On This Day in UK Basketball History

On December 1, 1950, UK plays its first game in the new, $3.9 million, 11,500-seat Memorial Coliseum. Skeptics label the building a “white elephant.”  The Wildcats made the first game played in Memorial Coliseum a memorable one as they routed the West Texas State Buffaloes.

 

On December 1, 2011, Kentucky blocked 18 St. John's shots for the most blocks ever recorded by a Kentucky team.
