On This Day in UK Basketball History

On March 25, 1978, No. 1 Kentucky defeated No. 5 Arkansas, 64-59, in the 1978 NCAA Final Four.  Lexington products Jack Givens (23 points) and James Lee (13) led UK past Arkansas’ famous “Triplets” — Ron Brewer (16 points), Marvin Delph (15) and Sidney Moncrief (13) — before 18,271 fans in the Checkerdome in St. Louis.

 

On March 25, 2011, freshman Brandon Knight missed seven of his first nine shots. Still, he knocked down his second game-winner of the postseason, a 15-footer with 5 seconds left to lift the Wildcats to a 62-60 victory over No. 1 seed Ohio State in the East regional semifinals.  Josh Harrellson held his own against Ohio State super freshman Jared Sullinger, scoring 17 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
