On This Day in UK Basketball History

On March 7, 2015, playing under a two-platoon system for most of the year, the Wildcats complete the regular season 31-0 with a victory over Florida, becoming the first team from a “power five” conference to go undefeated in the regular season since Indiana did it in 1976. UK completes the SEC season with an 18-0 record and goes on to win the SEC Tournament championship, its 28th title. The Wildcats eventually post a 38-0 record to reach the Final Four, the first team in college basketball history to record such a record, before losing to Wisconsin in the national semifinals.
