One of the more curious calls in Kentucky basketball history started a chain of events that led to Sam Malone becoming one of UK's walk-on players this coming season. His father, Joe Malone, was a Massachusetts state treasurer in 1992 when he turned on the television in his Boston area home to watch upstart UMass play mighty Kentucky in an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game. UK fans with good memories will recall UMass refusing to lose, to borrow a phrase, and rallying in the second half.
