Kentucky vs Vanderbilt (On time)

On This Day In UK Basketball History

On February 17, 1934, UK establishes a national record with its 23rd consecutive win (47-27 over Vanderbilt). Near riot erupts as fans vie for seats in Alumni Gym.

 

On February 17, 1951, Bill Spivey joined the 1,000-point club.  He did it in 52 games.

 

On March 14, 2010, Kentucky won their 26th SEC Tournament championship in thrilling fashion, beating Mississippi State 75-74 in overtime in front of 20,082 fans at Bridgestone Arena. DeMarcus Cousins' putback with no time remaining sent the game to overtime and John Wall's leaning three-pointer over a defender gave UK just enough cushion to beat State in extra time for the second time that season.
