Is another classic on tap?

Now that we’ve looked back, it’s time to move forward. It will be a battle of college basketball blue bloods on Friday March 24th. Kentucky and UCLA have combined to win 19 national championships. The Bruins had the upper hand against the Cats in Rupp Arena in December, winning 97-92.

Big Blue fans are anxious for the Wildcats will reverse that outcome. Who knows, maybe someday this game will earn a spot on future lists of great Kentucky Basketball Sweet 16 games. We hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane.
