According to official records, Kentucky and Transylvania have not competed in basketball since March 3, 1911. That 100-year gap closes when the teams play an exhibition game Wednesday in Rupp Arena. But lost in time is a scrimmage the teams staged in 1952. As might be expected, this competition made life-long memories for Transy’s players. “We country boys got to play in Memorial Coliseum,” Bill Ward, 80, said last week. “That was something for us.”
