WILDCATS TAKE UNBEATEN <strong>SEC</strong> ROAD RECORD TO GEORGIA<br />
The Wildcats travel to Athens where they will put their unbeaten <strong>SEC</strong> road record on the line against<br />
the Georgia Bulldogs. UK is 2-0 on the road in the conference, collecting wins at Ole Miss (68-58) and<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> had its 11-game winning streak and its 10-game Rupp Arena winning streak snapped<br />

time in two months a UK foe had made at least half <strong>of</strong> its shots.<br />
UK owns a 106-21 all-time mark against Georgia, including a current five game winning streak<br />
against the Bulldogs and a 36-14 mark in Athens. The Wildcats are 29-11 all-time against the Bulldogs<br />
in Stegeman Coliseum including two straight wins on the Bulldogs’ home floor. However, UK has a<br />
mark <strong>of</strong> 29-13 in the Coliseum all-time, losing two NCAA Tournament games on the floor during the<br />
1971 tournament.<br />

UK-GEORGIA SERIES HISTORY<br />
• This is the 128th meeting between the<br />
Wildcats and the Bulldogs.<br />
• <strong>Kentucky</strong> is 106-21 all-time against Georgia.<br />
• UK has won five in a row against Georgia,<br />
including last year’s series sweep (69-55 in<br />
Athens; 68-61 in Lexington)<br />
• <strong>Kentucky</strong> owns the series’ longest winning<br />
streak at 20 consecutive victories from 1950-<br />
1966.<br />
• The Wildcats are 36-14 all-time against<br />
Georgia in Athens and 29-11 against the Bulldogs<br />
in Stegeman Coliseum. UK is 29-13 all-time in<br />
Georgia’s home arena, having lost two games<br />
(107-83 to Western <strong>Kentucky</strong>; 91-74 to<br />
Marquette) in the 1971 NCAA Tournament.<br />
• Tubby Smith is <strong>15</strong>-4 against his former school,<br />
with all games being played since he came to<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS<br />
• Located in Athens, Ga. (378 miles south <strong>of</strong><br />
Lexington), Georgia is in the <strong>SEC</strong>’s East division.<br />
• Georgia enters Wednesday’s game with a 3-2<br />
record in league play. The Bulldogs come into the<br />
game <strong>of</strong>f a heartbreaking loss at No. 10 Alabama<br />
on Saturday, where they never trailed until a<br />
buzzer-beating shot by Ronald Steele sank the<br />
Bulldogs 78-76.<br />
• Prior to the Alabama game, the Bulldogs had<br />
won three league games in a row (vs. USC, vs.<br />
Vanderbilt, at Arkansas). They are also one <strong>of</strong><br />
only four teams (<strong>Kentucky</strong>, Florida, Vanderbilt)<br />
to have a league road win, doing so at Arkansas.<br />
• The Bulldogs are under the direction <strong>of</strong> fifthyear<br />
head coach George Felton. Felton has guided<br />
Georgia to a 50-55 record. He is <strong>15</strong>0-109 in nine<br />
years as a head coach, having served as the head<br />
man at Western <strong>Kentucky</strong> for five years before<br />
going to Athens. Felton is 3-5 against UK.<br />
PEACH STATE SUCCESS<br />
Over the years, the Wildcats have met with<br />
success when it comes to schools from the Peach<br />
State. <strong>Kentucky</strong> possesses a 168-37 (.820) record<br />
against teams from the state <strong>of</strong> Georgia. The bulk<br />
<strong>of</strong> UK’s games against Georgia based teams have<br />
come against <strong>SEC</strong> rival Georgia (106-21).<br />
The Wildcats also enjoy a 99-43 record when<br />
playing in the state <strong>of</strong> Georgia.<br />
WHO AM I?<br />
Bespectacled, husky-voiced and heavily built<br />
(though he has lost weight in recent years), this<br />
Georgia attendee has been one <strong>of</strong> Hollywood's<br />
busiest and most recognizable character actors<br />
since the early-1990s. He was an undergraduate at<br />
the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Georgia where a pr<strong>of</strong>essor once<br />
told him that if he loved the theatre, he should<br />
stay big. He left the college as an honor student<br />
but one credit shy <strong>of</strong> a degree to pursue his career<br />
at the Barter Theatre in Virginia. He is best<br />
known for his role as Newman, the self-serving<br />
postman on the hit TV show Seinfeld.<br />
Answer: Wayne Knight<br />

football at Hopkins Central.<br />
CATS COME AND GO IN RANKINGS<br />
After an eight-week hiatus <strong>Kentucky</strong> returned<br />
to the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll this week<br />
at No. <strong>25</strong>, but dropped out <strong>of</strong> the AP Top <strong>25</strong>. The<br />
Wildcats had entered the AP rankings at No. <strong>25</strong><br />
last week.<br />
The Cats began the season ranked 22nd and<br />

also tops the league in field goal percentage<br />
defense (.360).<br />
The Wildcats also lead the league (and are sixth<br />

percentage against UK since the 1961-62 Cats<br />
held foes to just .368.<br />
<strong>SEC</strong> DOMINATION<br />
Since the <strong>SEC</strong>’s inception in 1932-33, the<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong>. In <strong>SEC</strong> regular-season play, he’s 134-<br />
47 (.740), the third-best league win percentage <strong>of</strong><br />
all-time. He’s captured five <strong>SEC</strong> Championships<br />
and seven <strong>SEC</strong> Eastern Division crowns in nine<br />
seasons in the Bluegrass. He also owns a 23-6<br />
record in 11 <strong>SEC</strong> Tournaments, winning five<br />
titles.<br />
CATS’ D LEADS TO SUCCESS<br />
When <strong>Kentucky</strong> returned from Maui after losing<br />
a pair <strong>of</strong> games to UCLA and Memphis,<br />
Tubby Smith emphasized the need to play better<br />
defense. Since then, UK has won 12 <strong>of</strong> 14 games<br />
and has held the opposition below 40 percent<br />
shooting in 12 <strong>of</strong> those 14 contests.<br />
Wildcat foes were shooting 45 percent from<br />
the field in the first five games, but have made<br />
only 35 percent in the 14 games since.<br />
In addition the Wildcats’ rebounding numbers<br />
have seen a jump. UK averaged 32.0 rebounds<br />
per game through the first five games, but has<br />
averaged 40.1 over the last 14 games.<br />

MORE FLOOR TIME, MORE MORRIS<br />
Early in his career, Randolph Morris’ playing<br />
time was <strong>of</strong>ten limited due to foul trouble. This<br />
season, however, the Wildcats have seen more <strong>of</strong><br />
Morris on the floor. His minutes played average<br />
has increased from 19.8 as a freshman, to 24.4 as<br />
a sophomore to 28.4 this season.<br />
Morris’ increased minutes can be directly attributed<br />
to a decrease in his foul rate. As a freshman,<br />
Morris committed a foul every 6.6 minutes on the<br />
court. This year, that figure is 14.6.<br />
UNPARALLELED TRADITION<br />
The Wildcats own an unparalleled tradition<br />
<strong>of</strong> success. Since 1903, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
has fielded 104 basketball teams. The first<br />
national championship was an NIT title in 1946.<br />
The first NCAA title came in 1948 and the latest,<br />
No. 7, occurred in 1998. No other program can<br />
claim the unparalleled success that matches the<br />
Wildcats’ efforts over the past century.<br />
Highlights include:<br />
• Seven NCAA titles<br />
(1948, '49, '51, '58, '78, '96, ‘98)<br />
• The all-time winningest college teams:<br />

quite a bit this season. He has scored in double-digits<br />
in 18 <strong>of</strong> 19 games this year. He scored<br />
<strong>25</strong> points, tying his career high, against Eastern<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
He has also posted seven double-doubles this<br />

BRADLEY LEADS <strong>SEC</strong> FROM THE LINE<br />
Junior guard Ramel Bradley is the <strong>SEC</strong>’s leading<br />
free throw shooter, converting 86 percent<br />
(54-<strong>of</strong>-63) <strong>of</strong> his charity attempts.<br />
Since moving to the two-guard position seven<br />
games into the season, Bradley’s numbers have<br />
dramatically increased.

BRADLEY RECORDS DOUBLE-DOUBLE<br />
Ramel Bradley has been on a tear lately, scoring<br />
double-digits in 12 straight games. It all came to<br />
a head against Auburn (1/10) when Bradley<br />
scored his first career double-double tallying 18<br />
points and a career high 12 rebounds. He fell just<br />
three assists short <strong>of</strong> the second triple-double in<br />
school history finishing with seven assists.<br />
COMING OF AGE<br />
UK’s junior triumvirate <strong>of</strong> Ramel Bradley, Joe<br />
Crawford and Randolph are currently all averaging<br />
double figures in points scored as well as being<br />
ranked among the <strong>SEC</strong>’s Top 20 scorers.<br />
With another year under their belts, the junior<br />
class is leading by example, and the pro<strong>of</strong> is in the<br />
numbers. The trio has combined for 826 <strong>of</strong> UK’s<br />
1,374 points (60%), 314 <strong>of</strong> the team’s 722<br />
rebounds (43%) and 144 <strong>of</strong> the 311 assists<br />
(46%).<br />

DOUBLE, DOUBLE-DOUBLES<br />
Morris wasn’t the only one with a double-double<br />
against Indiana. Senior Bobby Perry recorded<br />
the first double-double <strong>of</strong> his career against the<br />
Hoosiers scoring 11 points and pulling down a<br />
season high 10 rebounds.<br />
It was the first time since March 7, 2004 in<br />
UK’s 82-62 win over Florida that two Wildcats<br />
recorded double-doubles in the same game. In<br />
that game, Erik Daniels scored <strong>15</strong> points and<br />
pulled down 14 rebounds while Chuck Hayes<br />
chipped in 12 points and 12 rebounds.<br />
TRIPLE-DOUBLE<br />
One could argue that Bobby Perry scored the<br />
second triple-double in <strong>Kentucky</strong> basketball history<br />
against Indiana. Perry finished the game with<br />
11 points and 10 rebounds. Thanks to a late game<br />
head bump over his left eye, Perry was required to<br />
get 12 stitches after the game. His final tally: 11<br />
points, 10 rebounds, 12 stitches.<br />
STARTING INGREDIENTS<br />
Since his addition to the starting lineup, freshman<br />
guard Derrick Jasper has improved in nearly<br />
every aspect <strong>of</strong> his game. Coming <strong>of</strong>f the bench in<br />
the first seven games <strong>of</strong> the season, Jasper averaged<br />
3.6 points per game compared to 6.2 in the<br />
last 12 games in which he has received the starting<br />
nod. His assists per game has seen a jump<br />
from 2.8 to 3.6.<br />
More importantly, the Wildcats are 11-1 when<br />
the Paso Robles, Calif., native starts.<br />
SELECTIVE SHOOTING<br />
Freshman guard Derrick Jasper continues his<br />
prudent shot selection. In a 10-game stretch, he<br />
has taken on average, 3.4 shots per game, however<br />
he’s made the most <strong>of</strong> his opportunities. In that<br />
stretch, Jasper has hit 27-<strong>of</strong>-34 from the field<br />
(.794).<br />
UK VS. <strong>SEC</strong> EAST<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> owns a 121-31 (.796) record against<br />
<strong>SEC</strong> East teams since the league split into divisions<br />
in 1992.<br />
Since the split, the Wildcats have never finished<br />
below .500 against the <strong>SEC</strong> East, and have gone<br />
unbeaten (10-0) three times (1995, 1996 and<br />
2003).<br />
Tubby Smith is 70-22 against the East teams in<br />
his nine seasons at UK and 81-31 overall.<br />
TUBBY’S CATS ARE NIFTY AT FIFTY<br />
During the Tubby Smith Era, UK is 111-2<br />
(.982) when shooting 50 percent or better,<br />
including a 7-0 mark this season.<br />
SWAT PARTY<br />
Freshman forward Perry Stevenson made a<br />
strong first impression, blocking seven shots in<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>’s 57-46 season opening victory over<br />
Miami (OH), the most ever for a Wildcat in his<br />
first game. It tied the freshman record <strong>of</strong> seven<br />
blocks by Andre Riddick, who did it twice as a<br />
yearling in the 1991-92 season. It was also the<br />
most for a Wildcat in 12 years, since Riddick had<br />
seven rejections vs. Arkansas in the 1994<br />
Southeastern Conference tournament, and ties<br />
for the fourth most in a single game in school history.<br />
STEVENSON THE STARTER<br />
Perry Stevenson, who started the first five games<br />
<strong>of</strong> the season, became the first freshman Wildcat<br />
to start a season opener for UK since Rajon<br />
Rondo and teammate Randolph Morris started<br />
against Coppin State in the 2004-05 season. Prior<br />
to those two, the first freshman Wildcat to start a<br />
season opener was Jason Parker starting against St.<br />
Johns to begin the 2001 season.<br />
ROOKIES MAKE POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS<br />
UK’s four scholarship freshmen - guards<br />
Derrick Jasper, Jodie Meeks and Michael Porter<br />
and forward Perry Stevenson - have made quite an<br />
impression early in their collegiate careers.<br />
Stevenson started the first five games <strong>of</strong> the season<br />
and is second on the team with 23 blocks.<br />
Jasper ranks second on the team in steals (27) and<br />
assists (63). Meeks is the leading reserve in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> points (6.4 ppg) and three point field goals<br />
made (<strong>15</strong>) and scored a career high 18 points in<br />
UK’s win over U <strong>of</strong> L along with being named the<br />
<strong>SEC</strong>’s Freshman <strong>of</strong> the Week that week. Porter is<br />
8-<strong>of</strong>-21 (.381) on long-range shots, the highest<br />
percentage <strong>of</strong> any Wildcat coming <strong>of</strong>f the bench.<br />

MORRIS NAMED <strong>SEC</strong> PLAYER OF THE WEEK<br />
Junior center Randolph Morris was named the<br />
<strong>SEC</strong> Player <strong>of</strong> the Week on Jan. 1 after leading<br />
the Wildcats to a 78-65 win over Eastern<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>. He recorded his fourth double-double<br />
<strong>of</strong> the season and the sixth <strong>of</strong> his career.<br />
Morris' <strong>25</strong> points tied a career high for the 6-<br />
11 junior and recorded a 20 point-10 rebound<br />
game for the second time this season. He is the<br />
first Wildcat to have two 20-10 games in the<br />
same season since Tayshaun Prince in 2001-02.<br />
Morris has scored in double figures in every game<br />
but one this season.<br />
MEEKS NAMED <strong>SEC</strong> FROSH OF THE WEEK<br />
Freshman guard Jodie Meeks was named the<br />
<strong>SEC</strong> Freshman <strong>of</strong> the Week (12/18) based on his<br />
performance against Louisville (12/16).<br />
The 6-5 Norcross, Ga. native recorded a career<br />
and game high 18 points in helping lead the<br />
Wildcats to a 61-49 win over the Cardinals in<br />
Freedom Hall. Meeks nailed four three pointers,<br />
including a three-pointer at the 10:20 mark <strong>of</strong> the<br />
second half that put <strong>Kentucky</strong> on top to stay. He<br />
hit 4-<strong>of</strong>-5 from the free throw line including three<br />
in a row when he was fouled in the act <strong>of</strong> shooting<br />
a three-pointer. His three free throws extended<br />
the <strong>Kentucky</strong> lead to eight points with 6:36<br />
remaining.<br />
NAISMITH CANDIDATE<br />
Junior center Randolph Morris added<br />
‘Naismith candidate’ to his list <strong>of</strong> pre-season honors<br />
as he was listed on the Top 50 candidates for<br />
the 2007 Naismith award, the most prestigious<br />
national award presented annually to the men’s<br />
and women’s players <strong>of</strong> the year. The Top 50 list<br />
was compiled by the Atlanta Tip<strong>of</strong>f Club’s Board<br />
<strong>of</strong> Selectors, comprised <strong>of</strong> leading basketball journalists,<br />
coaches and administrators from around<br />
the country. The board based its pre-season criteria<br />
on player performances from last season and<br />
expectations for the 2006-07 season.<br />
NAISMITH CANDIDATES SQUARE OFF<br />
It was a contest inside a contest when the<br />
Wildcats traveled to Chapel Hill to take on the<br />
North Carolina Tarheels. <strong>Kentucky</strong> Naismith<br />
candidate Randolph Morris vs. UNC Naismith<br />
candidate Tyler Hansbrough. When the dust settled,<br />
Morris got the better <strong>of</strong> the individual battle<br />
posting 23 points, seven rebounds and three<br />
assists to Hansbrough’s seven points and three<br />
rebounds.<br />

BIG BLUE MANIA<br />
KEIGHTLEY RECORDS 1,400TH GAME AT UK<br />
Not to be lost in the hype <strong>of</strong> the opening game<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 2006-07 season was equipment manager<br />
Bill Keightley’s 1,400th game with the Wildcats.<br />
Keightley is in his 46th season as equipment manager<br />
<strong>of</strong> the UK basketball team. The beloved “Mr.<br />
Wildcat” began assisting in the equipment room<br />
during the 1961-62 season and since then, UK<br />
has played 1,418 games, owning a 1,088-330<br />
(.767) record.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, which has fielded 104 teams, has<br />
played 2,541 games, meaning Keightley has<br />
played a role in 55.8% <strong>of</strong> the games.<br />
The Lawrenceburg, Ky., native, who has a jersey<br />
retired in the rafters <strong>of</strong> Rupp Arena, has<br />
worked under five different head coaches at UK -<br />
- Rupp, Hall, Sutton, Pitino and Smith. The current<br />
Cats have a modern nickname for the 80-<br />
year-old Keightley -- “Smooth.”<br />
“SUPER FAN” IN 54TH SEASON<br />
UK fan Bob Wiggins, 78, continues his amazing<br />
streak <strong>of</strong> following the basketball Cats. The<br />
2006-07 season is his 54th watching <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
play in person and through his own record-keeping,<br />
he has attended 1,369 UK games.<br />
His home-court streak spans 45 years and 656<br />
games. During that period, which dates back to<br />
1960-61, UK has a home record <strong>of</strong> 581-75<br />
(.886).<br />

CAT FACTS<br />
Decision Time<br />
When it came down to it, Michael Porter had<br />
a choice between <strong>Kentucky</strong> and Southern Cal.<br />
What made the choice difficult was that it was<br />
the Trojan football program that was recruiting<br />
Porter. However, he committed to <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
which prompted a call from USC head football<br />
coach Pete Carroll asking if he was sure <strong>of</strong> his<br />
decision. Michael is currently wearing #1 for the<br />
Wildcats.<br />
Making Music<br />
Bobby Perry has proven his talents on the<br />
hardwood, but it’s his abilities on the ivory that<br />
few people are aware <strong>of</strong>. Perry is an accomplished<br />
piano/keyboard player and can <strong>of</strong>ten times be<br />
found laying down some beats for teammates<br />
Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford.<br />
On the Road Again<br />
As if Bobby Perry isn’t on the road enough during<br />
basketball season, over the summer he traveled<br />
to Brazil with other members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>SEC</strong><br />
with the Sports Reach program. During the trip<br />
he preached his faith, provided clinics to local<br />
children and played against local pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
clubs.<br />
Strong Gene Pool<br />
Jodie Meeks was a state finalist in the long<br />
jump in Georgia. He comes by his athleticism<br />
honestly as his father was an All-America long<br />
jumper at Middle Tennessee.<br />
Sophomore center Jared Carter also comes<br />
from quite the athletic family. His father played<br />
basketball at Georgetown College and his brother<br />
currently plays at Union College.<br />
Grand’Son <strong>of</strong> a Preacher’ Wo-man<br />
Ramel Bradley’s grandmother is an ordained<br />
minister in Brooklyn, New York.<br />
ATTENTION!!<br />
It takes discipline and athleticism to become<br />
an outstanding shotblocker. The Wildcats’ own<br />
Sultan <strong>of</strong> Swat Perry Stevenson was born with the<br />
athleticism and discipline comes from his parents<br />
<strong>of</strong> which his mother is retired military.<br />
Two-Sport stars<br />
Senior forward Bobby Perry is the team’s selfproclaimed<br />
ping pong champion. With a table in<br />
the basement <strong>of</strong> Wildcat Lodge, players can <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
be found engaged in some heated ping pong<br />
matches during what little free time they have.<br />
Perry says that freshman Jodie Meeks is his best<br />
competition and that the most impressive stat is<br />
that he has defeated teammate Ramel Bradley <strong>15</strong><br />
consecutive times.<br />

1992. The league began the award in the 1985 season. From<br />
1988-1992 the conference handed out a Rookie <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Week award. The Freshman <strong>of</strong> the Week started up again in<br />
the 2006 season.)
LAST TIME vs. GEORGIA - <strong>KENTUCKY</strong> 68, GEORGIA 61 (2/<strong>15</strong>/06)<br />
entucky used a carousel <strong>of</strong> lineups - including three new<br />
Kstarters - to defeat Georgia 68-61, snapping a three-game losing<br />
streak.<br />
In the battle <strong>of</strong> long scoring runs for both teams, 11 Wildcats<br />
saw playing time and 10 <strong>of</strong> them got at least one basket. Rajon<br />
Rondo, who leads the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals,<br />
was among the starters benched and had a season-low four points.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> was coming <strong>of</strong>f losses to Florida, Tennessee and<br />
Vanderbilt - the first three-game losing streak for the Wildcats in<br />
<strong>SEC</strong> play since Eddie Sutton's last season in 1988-89.<br />
During practice this week, <strong>Kentucky</strong> coach Tubby Smith, who<br />
led the Bulldogs for two seasons in the 1990s, declared a "fresh<br />
start" on the struggling season. Every job on the team was open to<br />
competition, Smith said, and those who practiced best would start.<br />
He wasn't kidding.<br />
In were three newcomers - Lukasz Obrzut, Ravi Moss and<br />
Brandon Stockton, who was making his first ever start and hadn't<br />
even played in five <strong>of</strong> the last seven games. Out was the team's<br />
best guard, Rondo, best center, Randolph Morris, and breakout<br />
sophomore swingman Joe Crawford.<br />
The experiment worked well early as the Wildcats got out to a<br />
5-1 lead, but then turnovers plagued them. Smith called for Morris<br />
five minutes into the game with <strong>Kentucky</strong> down 10-9, and Crawford<br />
and Rondo followed a minute later.<br />
Lost amid the substitutions, however, was Sheray Thomas, who<br />
entered with the usual starters and scored the game's next six<br />
points on a dunk, layup and long jumper. Thomas led the team with<br />
13 points, making six <strong>of</strong> eight shots.<br />
His first six points ignited a 13-0 run for the Wildcats, but<br />
Georgia immediately followed with a <strong>15</strong>-2 run <strong>of</strong> its own to regain<br />
the lead.<br />
Although the Bulldogs missed <strong>15</strong> <strong>of</strong> their first 19 shots to start<br />
the game, it took a Morris dunk and layup in the final seconds to<br />
preserve a 28-<strong>25</strong> advantage for <strong>Kentucky</strong> at halftime.<br />
That was the beginning <strong>of</strong> an 8-0 <strong>Kentucky</strong> run, and they'd add<br />
yet another - a 12-2 run - in the second half.<br />
Two bright spots for Georgia were guards Billy Humphrey, who<br />
led the team with 14 points, and freshman Mike Mercer, who added<br />
13 - including consecutive 3-pointers in the first-half that pulled the<br />
Bulldogs within striking distance.<br />
Amid the UK positives, there were some negatives for the<br />
Wildcats. They turned the ball over 26 times, compared to 14 for<br />
Georgia, and made only four <strong>of</strong> 11 free-throws.<br />

Rupp Arena (20,444)<br />
Lexington, Ky. • Nov. <strong>15</strong>, 2006<br />
Miami (Ohio) 46<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 22/22 57<br />
Freshman forward Perry Stevenson blocked seven shots and<br />
No. 22 <strong>Kentucky</strong> scored the final 10 points <strong>of</strong> the game to pull away<br />
from Miami <strong>of</strong> Ohio 57-46 in its season opener.<br />
The Wildcats led by 10 in the second half before two free<br />
throws by Nathan Peavy cut the edge to 47-46 with four minutes<br />
left.<br />
Ramel Bradley hit a jumper in traffic and Randolph Morris made<br />
two free throws, then scored from the post to stretch it back to a<br />
seven-point deficit.<br />
Joe Crawford led the Wildcats with 18 points.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> got <strong>of</strong>f to a sluggish start, making only two <strong>of</strong> its first<br />
11 shots while Miami hit six <strong>of</strong> its first 11, including four from 3-point<br />
range.<br />
An open three by center Monty St. Clair midway through the<br />
half capped a 13-3 run for the RedHawks, who took their biggest<br />
lead at 16-6. Peavy led the RedHawks with 17.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> didn't reach double-digits on the scoreboard for 13<br />
minutes, until Crawford hit a jumper to cut the lead to 18-10. The<br />
junior guard connected on five <strong>of</strong> 12 shots - including three from<br />
long-range.<br />
The Wildcats got back into the game with a 16-3 run in the final<br />
three minutes <strong>of</strong> the first half.<br />
Freshman guard Jodie Meeks tied it at 27 by grabbing<br />
Bradley's miss and scoring on the putback. Crawford made a 3-<br />
pointer and added a free throw on the next possession to give<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> a 31-27 halftime lead.<br />
A layup by Morris early in the second half gave <strong>Kentucky</strong> its 10-<br />
point lead, but fouls and turnovers kept the RedHawks in it. Morris<br />
picked up his fourth foul, making him a non-factor for much <strong>of</strong> the<br />
second half.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> played the game without two key players. Senior forward<br />
Sheray Thomas was suspended for an undisclosed rules violation<br />
and sophomore center Jared Carter is out with a dislocated<br />
right shoulder.<br />
Carter hurt himself in practice and could miss about a month.<br />
His injury was part <strong>of</strong> the reason <strong>Kentucky</strong> coach Tubby Smith<br />
opted to start Stevenson.<br />
The team's two healthy centers, Morris and Lukasz Obrzut,<br />
have been prone to foul trouble, and Smith didn't want to risk a<br />
quick exit for either.<br />

Lexington, Ky. • Nov. 17, 2006<br />
Miss. Valley St. 56<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 22/22 79<br />
Ramel Bradley had a career-high 21 points and No. 22<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> started with a <strong>15</strong>-0 run in defeating Mississippi Valley<br />
State 79-56 in Tubby Smith's 500th game as a college coach.<br />
Bradley, who has been working on his shot selection as<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s new point guard, picked good ones against the Delta<br />
Devils. He made 8 <strong>of</strong> 11 attempts from the field and 5 <strong>of</strong> 7 from 3-<br />
point range.<br />
Randolph Morris had 18 points and nine rebounds.<br />
Smith, now in his 16th year as a head coach and 10th at<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, improved his record to 367-133. He has coached 314<br />
games at <strong>Kentucky</strong>, 122 at Tulsa and 64 at Georgia.<br />
In their final tune-up before heading to the Maui Invitational, the<br />
Wildcats signaled they're ready for stiffer competition. They'll get it<br />
in Hawaii with a first-round matchup Monday against DePaul and<br />
possibly a second-round game Tuesday against national runner-up<br />
UCLA.<br />
The Delta Devils didn't score until Larry Cox made a layup four<br />
and a half minutes into the game. In the first 12 minutes, <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
added an 11-0 run to their beginning burst.<br />
Mississippi Valley State had only five points with eight minutes<br />
remaining in the first half and <strong>Kentucky</strong> used eight steals and 14<br />
fast break points to build a 41-18 halftime lead.<br />
Bradley ignited the early rally and began both halves with a 3-<br />
pointer. In one 20-second span, Bradley made a jumper then<br />
grabbed a loose ball, using an underhanded flip from beneath the<br />
basket to score again.<br />
Bradley fed freshman forward Perry Stevenson one <strong>of</strong> his two<br />
first-half dunks.<br />
Stevenson, who had seven blocks in the Wildcats' opener<br />
Wednesday against Miami <strong>of</strong> Ohio, had three Friday in his second<br />
straight start. He set the defensive tone by swatting away the Delta<br />
Devils' first shot - a 3-point attempt by Carl Lucas.<br />
Another freshman, guard Jodie Meeks, had 13 points for<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, but was cold from 3-point range, hitting only 1 <strong>of</strong> 6<br />
attempts.<br />

DePaul 81<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 20/22 87<br />
Randolph Morris scored 20 points, including nine <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s<br />
final 11, and the 20th-ranked Wildcats held <strong>of</strong>f DePaul 87-81 in the<br />
opening round <strong>of</strong> the EA Sports Maui Invitational.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> was never able to shake the Blue Demons in a game<br />
that saw both teams shoot better than 53 percent from the field.<br />
Sammy Mejia and Wilson Chandler both had 17 points for<br />
DePaul, which was within 74-69 on a 3-pointer by Marcus Heard<br />
with 4:45 to play. Morris scored the last four points <strong>of</strong> a 6-0 run that<br />
had the Wildcats up 80-69 with 2:50 to play.<br />
Morris' last field goal <strong>of</strong> the game, a baseline move with 2:10 to<br />
play, put <strong>Kentucky</strong> up 82-71, but DePaul scored six straight points<br />
to get to 82-77 with 1:22 to go.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> went 5-for-6 from the free throw line over the final 53<br />
seconds and the Wildcats drew two charges to finally seal the win.<br />
Ramel Bradley had 16 points for <strong>Kentucky</strong>, which shot 57.1 percent<br />
(32-for-56).<br />
Heard had 11 points for the Blue Demons, who finished 32-for-<br />
60 from the field (53.3 percent).<br />
Morris, who was 7-for-13 from the field and 6-for-9 from the free<br />
throw line, had nine rebounds as the teams finished even on the<br />
boards with 28 each.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, which won this tournament in 1993, scored the first<br />
10 points and was up 16-4 five minutes into the game. The<br />
Wildcats led 18-7 with 14:29 left after making eight <strong>of</strong> their first 11<br />
shots from the field.<br />
Draelon Burns <strong>of</strong> DePaul then scored the next seven points <strong>of</strong><br />
the game - he finished with nine. <strong>Kentucky</strong> was able to take one<br />
more double-digit lead in the first half - 33-21 with 8:50 left on a 3<br />
by Jodie Meeks - but DePaul was within 43-38 at halftime.<br />
The Blue Demons took the lead twice, the last time at 50-49 on<br />
a layup by Mejia with 14:59 to play.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 20/22 68<br />
UCLA No. 5/5 73<br />
Luc Richard Mbah A Moute scored 18 points despite playing<br />
the final 8 1/2 minutes with four fouls, leading No. 5 UCLA to a 73-<br />
68 victory over No. 20 <strong>Kentucky</strong> in the semifinals <strong>of</strong> the EA Sports<br />
Maui Invitational.<br />
Mbah A Moute scored six <strong>of</strong> UCLA's last 10 points, ignoring the<br />
foul trouble to go inside for the first four points and then throwing<br />
down a dunk on the break to make it 69-65 with <strong>25</strong> seconds to play.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> got to 71-68 on a layup by Randolph Morris with 2<br />
seconds to go, but Arron Afflalo, who struggled from the field all<br />
game, made two free throws with .6 seconds to go for the final margin.<br />
Afflalo finished with 14 points on 5-for-18 shooting, including 1-<br />
for-8 from 3-point range, while Lorenzo Mata added 12 points and<br />
11 rebounds.<br />
Joe Crawford had 16 points for the Wildcats, while freshman<br />
guard Derrick Jasper had 12 points and nine rebounds.<br />
UCLA jumped out to a 26-9 lead, but the Wildcats were able to<br />
get it down to 38-30 at halftime.<br />
The final 10 minutes were the kind <strong>of</strong> game one would expect<br />
from the two most successful programs in college basketball history<br />
- UCLA holds a record 11 NCAA championships, four ahead <strong>of</strong><br />
runner-up <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
The Wildcats were finally able to tie the game for the first time<br />
at 48 on a 3 by Crawford with 11:46 to play, and their first lead <strong>of</strong><br />
the game came 1:24 later on two free throws by Jasper.<br />
There were three lead changes and four ties the rest <strong>of</strong> the way<br />
and neither team managed more than a five-point lead until<br />
Afflalo's dunk with 8 seconds left made it 71-65.<br />
Mbah A Moute scored down low to make it 67-62 with 2:20 left<br />
and Crawford answered with a three-point play 18 seconds later.<br />
After a <strong>Kentucky</strong> turnover and a UCLA miss, Wildcats coach<br />
Tubby Smith called two timeouts in a 13-second span, but Bruins<br />
point guard Darren Collison foiled any strategy by stealing the ball<br />
from Ramel Bradley and then found Mbah A Moute on the break for<br />
the game-clinching dunk.<br />
Afflalo, one <strong>of</strong> two returning starters from last season's national<br />
runner-up, entered the game shooting 56 percent from the field<br />
and 55 percent on 3s. In his first two seasons at UCLA he shot 46<br />
percent overall and 37 percent from beyond the arc.<br />

Honolulu, Hi. • Nov. 22, 2006<br />
Memphis No. 11/12 80<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. 20/22 63<br />
Freshman Willie Kemp scored 10 <strong>of</strong> his 12 points in the opening<br />
four minutes <strong>of</strong> the second half and No. 12 Memphis topped<br />
No. 20 <strong>Kentucky</strong> in an 80-63 victory in the third-place game <strong>of</strong> the<br />
EA Sports Maui Invitational.<br />
The Tigers were too fast for the Wildcats because <strong>of</strong> Kemp and<br />
fellow guard Andre Allen pushing the ball on the break. And they<br />
were too much inside with 6-foot-9, 260-pound Joey Dorsey keying<br />
the game-breaking 14-0 run in the second half with two monster<br />
dunks.<br />
Memphis bounced back from a disheartening 92-85 semifinal<br />
loss to No. 19 Georgia Tech, a game which the Tigers held a 16-<br />
point halftime lead only to be outrebounded 29-9 in the second<br />
half.<br />
There was no problem on the boards against <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
Memphis had a 38-27 rebound advantage, including 11-5 on the<br />
<strong>of</strong>fensive end.<br />
Center Randolph Morris was most <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s <strong>of</strong>fense<br />
throughout the first 30 minutes <strong>of</strong> the game. He finished with 18<br />
points and Joe Crawford had <strong>15</strong>.<br />
Robert Dozier, who was scoreless and fouled out in the loss to<br />
Georgia Tech, had <strong>15</strong> points for Memphis, while Chris Douglas-<br />
Roberts and Jeremy Hunt each had 13. Dorsey finished with six<br />
points and seven rebounds.<br />
Memphis led 43-40 after a first half that saw four lead changes<br />
and two ties over the final seven minutes. That all changed at the<br />
start <strong>of</strong> the second half when the 6-2 Kemp, who started all four<br />
games and came in averaging 8.7 points, took over.<br />
He was scoreless in eight minutes in the first half after picking<br />
up two fouls. He hit two 3s then scored twice on drives as the<br />
Tigers took a 55-46 lead four minutes into the second half.<br />
The pace <strong>of</strong> the game changed to what the Tigers like and<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> suddenly wasn't getting any <strong>of</strong>fense from Morris down<br />
low.<br />
Dorsey dunked to start the deciding 14-0 run. He then blocked<br />
a shot by Sheray Thomas and took <strong>of</strong>f on the break. The run was<br />
worth it when he took a short pass on the wing and threw down a<br />
power dunk. <strong>Kentucky</strong> coach Tubby Smith called a timeout but the<br />
tide was definitely the Tigers' way.<br />
Antonio Anderson's 3-pointer with 8:21 to go capped the run<br />
and Memphis was up 73-50.<br />
The third-place finish matched Memphis' best (1992) in four<br />
appearances on Maui.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, which lost 73-68 to No. 5 UCLA in the semifinals,<br />

Rupp Arena (22,477)<br />
Lexington, Ky. • Nov. 28, 2006<br />
Col. <strong>of</strong> Charleston 61<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 77<br />
Freshman Perry Stevenson came <strong>of</strong>f the bench for the first time<br />
with a career-high 14 points as <strong>Kentucky</strong> rebounded from a setback<br />
in the Maui Invitational with a 77-61 victory over College <strong>of</strong><br />
Charleston.<br />
Randolph Morris led the Wildcats with 17 points and eight<br />
rebounds, but it was Stevenson who nailed the early shots with the<br />
game on the line. He missed all three free-throw attempts but connected<br />
on all seven field-goal tries -- more than doubling his previous<br />
high <strong>of</strong> three.<br />
The Wildcats, who dropped out <strong>of</strong> the Top <strong>25</strong> this week after<br />
losses in Maui against now-No. 1 UCLA and Memphis, missed<br />
their first nine shots and didn't hit a field goal until more than six<br />
minutes had passed.<br />
Stevenson's dunk pulled the Wildcats to within three points<br />
midway through the first half and began a 17-0 run that buried the<br />
Cougars.<br />
Seconds later, Stevenson showed <strong>of</strong>f a new signature move --<br />
an under-the-basket hook flip that gave the Wildcats their first lead<br />
at 12-11. He did it again the next time down, drawing the foul --<br />
albeit missing the free throw -- in the process.<br />
Charleston's star guard Dontaye Draper had only two points in<br />
the first half but found his shot in the second, leading the Cougars<br />
with <strong>15</strong> points.<br />

Smith Center (21,147)<br />
Chapel Hill, N.C. • Dec. 2, 2006<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 63<br />
North Carolina No. 7/6 75<br />
Wayne Ellington scored 17 points, Brandan Wright added 16<br />
and No. 7 North Carolina went on to beat <strong>Kentucky</strong> 75-63 in a<br />
game between college basketball's winningest schools.<br />
Reyshawn Terry also scored 16 points and capped the Tar<br />
Heels' decisive run with a pair <strong>of</strong> 3-pointers.<br />
The Tar Heels overcame Randolph Morris' 23 points on 11-<strong>of</strong>-<br />
12 shooting to earn their third straight victory in this series. North<br />
Carolina is 41 behind the Wildcats' NCAA record <strong>of</strong> 1,930 victories.<br />
Wright has scored at least 10 points in each <strong>of</strong> his seven games<br />
as a Tar Heel. For Terry, this was his second consecutive strong<br />
performance against <strong>Kentucky</strong>. He had a career-high <strong>25</strong> in the Tar<br />
Heels' win last December.<br />
The pivotal 11-2 stretch in this one started with a Roy Williams'<br />
lecture. He pulled his five starters with 17:16 remaining, upset that<br />
they allowed <strong>Kentucky</strong> to make its first three shots in the second<br />
half, pull within 36-33 and get to one loose ball in particular.<br />
Moments after Wright started the run with a hook shot, he and<br />
the other starters were benched for about 2½ minutes while they<br />
caught grief from their coach.<br />
When they returned, Terry got hot. He made two 3-pointers 26<br />
seconds apart to push the Tar Heels' lead into double figures for<br />
the first time, 47-35, with just over 13 minutes left. <strong>Kentucky</strong> never<br />
got closer than nine the rest <strong>of</strong> the way.<br />
Joe Crawford had 16 points and Bobby Perry added 12 for the<br />
Wildcats, who outrebounded North Carolina 42-36 but lost their<br />
third game against a ranked team this season.<br />
For the most part, Morris was <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s <strong>of</strong>fense in the first<br />
half. He was 5-<strong>of</strong>-5 shooting with 11 points during the opening 20<br />
minutes. The rest <strong>of</strong> the Wildcats were a combined 6-for-23 and<br />
went 0-for-9 from 3-point range - out <strong>of</strong> character for a team that<br />
entered shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc.<br />
"Obviously, they let me catch the ball in the post," Morris said.<br />
"Anytime I feel like I catch the ball with somebody behind me, I<br />
have the potential to score. I was just making shots today."<br />
Tyler Hansbrough, the star <strong>of</strong> the Ohio State win with 21 points,<br />
struggled against the Wildcats for the second straight season.<br />
The sophomore preseason All-American has failed to reach<br />
double figures three times in his career -- and two <strong>of</strong> those came<br />
against <strong>Kentucky</strong>. A year after scoring just six points against the<br />
Wildcats, Hansbrough finished this one with a season-low seven.<br />
"We just tried to help pack it in on the inside and eliminate his<br />
touches, and trap when he gets the ball," Morris said.<br />

Freedom Hall (11,641)<br />
Louisville, Ky. • Dec. 5, 2006<br />
Chattanooga 63<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 79<br />
Ramel Bradley had a career-high 23 points, scoring six <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s season-high 13 3-pointers, as the Wildcats defeated<br />
Chattanooga 79-63 in their annual game at Freedom Hall.<br />
It was an outside shooting fest for both sides as the two teams<br />
combined for 72 points <strong>of</strong>f 3s. Chattanooga's Keddric Mays led the<br />
way with <strong>25</strong> points and seven 3-pointers, one shy <strong>of</strong> a career-high.<br />
With nobody in the Mocs' starting lineup taller than 6-foot-7,<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> coach Tubby Smith decided to go small too - giving freshman<br />
guard Derrick Jasper his first start.<br />
Jasper and Bradley split the point guard duties, and while<br />
Jasper came up with 10 rebounds, Bradley quickly rediscovered<br />
his outside shot.<br />
He nailed six <strong>of</strong> nine 3-point tries, breaking his career-high <strong>of</strong><br />
five 3s, which he set last month against Mississippi Valley State.<br />
Joe Crawford also made four 3-pointers among his seasonhigh<br />
19 points, and Bobby Perry had 17 points and was 3-for-3<br />
from long range. Randolph Morris also added 17.<br />
Jasper had one point and six assists to go along with his<br />
rebounds, but he also made some freshman mistakes. He drew a<br />
technical foul when he nudged a Mocs player and bumped into<br />
Morris when the <strong>Kentucky</strong> center was coming down with a<br />
rebound, turning the ball over to the Mocs.<br />
The Wildcats, who never trailed, took a 7-point lead before the<br />
Mocs pulled to 19-18 midway through the first half on a dunk by<br />
Casey Long.<br />

Rupp Arena (24,<strong>25</strong>4)<br />
Lexington, Ky. • Dec. 9, 2006<br />
Indiana 54<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 59<br />
By the time <strong>Kentucky</strong> finished its border battle with Indiana,<br />
Bobby Perry had collected 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 stitches.<br />
"He had a triple-double," Wildcats coach Tubby Smith joked<br />
about his forward, who had to leave late in the game with a gash<br />
above his eyebrow.<br />
Although the Wildcats and Hoosiers came into the game<br />
unranked, don't tell the players this game - the 50th overall<br />
between the programs - has lost its luster. <strong>Kentucky</strong> survived the<br />
physical - and, in Perry's case, bloody - defensive struggle with a<br />
59-54 victory.<br />
"I think the weight has definitely been taken <strong>of</strong>f our shoulders,"<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> center Randolph Morris, who had 16 points and 10<br />
rebounds, said. "It feels good to win a close game against a very<br />
solid team and one <strong>of</strong> our rivals. It was definitely a statement for us<br />
to pull out a close one under pressure."<br />
With the Wildcats ahead 47-41, Roderick Wilmont nailed consecutive<br />
3-pointers to tie the game. Before that, the teams were a<br />
combined 3-for-29 from beyond the arc.<br />
Morris quickly answered with his signature turnaround jumper<br />
at the 6-minute mark and converted the three-point play after drawing<br />
a foul from D.J. White.<br />
"Randolph is developing that mentality - `Get it to me, and I'll<br />
put it in,"' Smith said.<br />
White, who finished with 23 points, hit a layup two minutes later<br />
that pulled the Hoosiers within two, but jumpers by Joe Crawford<br />
and Perry put <strong>Kentucky</strong> up 57-52.<br />
With less than two minutes to go, Joey Shaw <strong>of</strong> the Hoosiers<br />
stole an inbounds pass and scored to make it a one-possession<br />
game. But Indiana's Lance Stemler missed a closely guarded 3-<br />
pointer, and Jodie Meeks made two free throws with six seconds<br />
left to clinch the win.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>, which has concentrated on defense in recent practices,<br />
held Indiana to 30 percent shooting.<br />
"We defended OK, probably good enough to win," first-year<br />
Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson said. "I thought we rebounded well<br />
enough to win. But you've got to make shots."<br />
Indiana's tough defense and <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s poor shooting allowed<br />
the Hoosiers to build a seven-point lead midway through the first<br />
half, silencing the crowd.<br />
But <strong>Kentucky</strong> quickly found a high-percentage shot: the dunk.<br />
A thundering one by Morris woke up the building.<br />
Amid the noise the Hoosiers, who had only one turnover to that<br />
point, committed four in the next two minutes, allowing the Wildcats<br />
to go ahead in one <strong>of</strong> 14 lead changes in the game.<br />
Derrick Jasper followed Morris' theatrics with a steal and dunk<br />
on <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s next trip down court, and fellow freshman Perry<br />
Stevenson added another dunk a few possessions later.<br />

Louisville, Ky. • Dec. 16, 2006<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 6 1<br />
Louisville 49<br />
Playing with poise while some <strong>of</strong> his older teammates struggled,<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> freshman Jodie Meeks scored a career-high 18<br />
points to lead the quickly improving Wildcats to a 61-49 victory over<br />
instate rival Louisville.<br />
The win was <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s third straight in the series, and the<br />
Wildcats did it without major contributions from leading scorers<br />
Randolph Morris and Joe Crawford, who combined for just seven<br />
points - nearly 24 below their season average. Morris finished with<br />
just two points in <strong>15</strong> foul-plagued minutes while Crawford had trouble<br />
getting anything going.<br />
"We had to overcome Randolph's loss and I thought our guys<br />
showed a lot <strong>of</strong> heart and courage," Smith said.<br />
Particularly Meeks, who scored nine straight points midway<br />
through the second half after the Cardinals took a 41-40 lead. He<br />
hit consecutive 3-pointers and added three free throws while<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> held the Cardinals without a field goal for nearly seven<br />
minutes.<br />
Meeks looked right at home at the center <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> college basketball's<br />
fiercest rivalries, helping the Wildcats finish a brutal<br />
stretch that included losses to No. 1 UCLA and No. 3 North<br />
Carolina and a win over Indiana.<br />
While hard fought, the game showcased just how far one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nation's high-pr<strong>of</strong>ile rivalries has fallen in recent years. There were<br />
poor shots, missed layups, turnovers and no sense <strong>of</strong> rhythm. The<br />
teams combined for <strong>25</strong> turnovers, 42 fouls and 84 missed shots.<br />
Louisville came in averaging 77.5 points a game, but struggled<br />
to get anything going. The Cardinals shot just 27 percent from the<br />
field, including 13 percent (3-for-24) from 3-point range.<br />
David Padgett led Louisville with 16 points and 10 rebounds,<br />
but had little help from his teammates despite what coach Rick<br />
Pitino called "excellent" execution <strong>of</strong>fensively.<br />
"This is kind <strong>of</strong> a scary thought, that's the best we've ran our<br />
<strong>of</strong>fense this year," Pitino said. "It's an obvious thing. We are not a<br />
good shooting team. We missed open shots."<br />
The Cardinals had plenty <strong>of</strong> opportunities to take control. They<br />
led for much <strong>of</strong> the first half and did a decent job defensively, holding<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> to 42 percent shooting.<br />
The Cardinals got within 49-45 on a putback by Andre McGee<br />
with 3:59 to play - Louisville's first basket in nearly seven minutes<br />
- but Sheray Thomas hit a jumper to put the Wildcats up by six and<br />
Louisville would get no closer.<br />

Santa Clara 60<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 74<br />
Randolph Morris had 23 points and a career-high 13 rebounds<br />
as <strong>Kentucky</strong> stretched its winning streak to four games with a 74-<br />
60 victory over Santa Clara.<br />
It was the third double-double <strong>of</strong> the season for the <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
center, who picked up four fouls and was held to a season-low two<br />
points Saturday in the Wildcats' victory over rival Louisville.<br />
With two Santa Clara starters measuring at 6-foot-11, <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
needed its big man to stay out <strong>of</strong> foul trouble and contribute this<br />
time. Morris did both.<br />
He drew only one foul late in the game when <strong>Kentucky</strong> had a<br />
comfortable 11-point lead. He made 10 <strong>of</strong> 18 shots to match the<br />
season-high 23 points he scored earlier this season in a loss at<br />
North Carolina.<br />
Mitch Henke had 17 points to lead Santa Clara.<br />
With the Broncos ahead 23-22 late in the first half, Joe<br />
Crawford banked in a layup from beneath the basket, putting<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> ahead for good. Morris scored the next six points on the<br />
drive.<br />
Santa Clara scored the last five points <strong>of</strong> the half to pull to 30-<br />
28 and came within one with 14 minutes left in the game on a<br />
jumper by Danny Pariseau.<br />
But Morris answered with a jumper <strong>of</strong> his own a minute later,<br />
then came up with a critical steal to keep the Broncos from regaining<br />
the lead.<br />
Freshman Derrick Jasper put the game out <strong>of</strong> reach with six<br />
minutes left when he took an under-the-basket pass from Joe<br />
Crawford, scored on the layup, drew a foul and connected on the<br />
3-point play.<br />

Massachusetts 68<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 82<br />
Joe Crawford, Ramel Bradley and Randolph Morris each had<br />
14 points as <strong>Kentucky</strong> won its fifth straight with an 82-68 victory<br />
over Massachusetts, spoiling the homecoming <strong>of</strong> Minutemen<br />
coach Travis Ford.<br />
Freshman point guard Derrick Jasper had a career-high eight<br />
assists - the most by a <strong>Kentucky</strong> player this year.<br />
Ford, coming <strong>of</strong>f a victory against former coach Rick Pitino and<br />
Louisville, failed to become the first coach in nine years to beat<br />
both the Cardinals and Wildcats on their home courts in the same<br />
season.<br />
He is now 0-4 against his alma mater. The previous three<br />
games - including one in the NCAA tournament - came when Ford<br />
coached at Eastern <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s backcourt trio <strong>of</strong> Crawford, Bradley and Jasper had<br />
its most complete game since coach Tubby Smith went with the<br />
three-guard lineup Dec. 5 against Chattanooga.<br />
Crawford came out <strong>of</strong> a shooting funk by hitting three <strong>of</strong> four<br />
shots from 3-point range. Bradley made both <strong>of</strong> his long-range<br />
shots.<br />
Eight minutes into the game with the Minutemen ahead 19-16,<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> went on a 23-3 run to take a 17-point lead. Six different<br />
Wildcats scored on the 10-minute drive, highlighted by three consecutive<br />
3-pointers - two from Crawford and one by Ramel Bradley.<br />
The Minutemen trimmed a 21-point <strong>Kentucky</strong> lead down to 12<br />
with two minutes left but got no closer.<br />
The Wildcats dominated virtually every aspect <strong>of</strong> the game,<br />
shooting 59 percent from the field, holding the Minutemen to 37<br />
percent, and winning the rebounding battle 37-to-32.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the only sore spots for <strong>Kentucky</strong> was personal fouls.<br />
The Wildcats racked up 20 - five from Bobby Perry and four from<br />
Morris.<br />
James Life provided almost all the <strong>of</strong>fense for UMass, scoring<br />
24 points - including six 3-pointers. Stephane Lasme had five<br />
blocks, but the Wildcats kept challenging him, as Lasme fouled out<br />
with two minutes left.<br />
The newest Wildcat, Ramon Harris <strong>of</strong> Alaska, scored his first<br />
two points <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />

Eastern <strong>Kentucky</strong> 65<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 78<br />
Randolph Morris matched a career high with <strong>25</strong> points and<br />
Ramel Bradley had 20 as <strong>Kentucky</strong> pushed its winning streak to six<br />
with a 78-65 victory over Eastern <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />
Morris, who was 9 for 12 from the field, added 10 rebounds for<br />
his fourth double-double <strong>of</strong> the season. He didn't pick up his first<br />
and only foul until late in the game when the Wildcats led by 13.<br />
As it turned out, the Wildcats needed their junior center to produce<br />
inside because <strong>of</strong> the career day Eastern <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s freshman<br />
guard Adam Leonard turned in from outside. Leonard had a<br />
career-high 20 points - all but two <strong>of</strong> them from beyond the arc.<br />
Last season was the first since 1989-90 that <strong>Kentucky</strong> didn't<br />
manage at least one streak <strong>of</strong> six or more wins. They moved to 10-<br />
0 all-time against the Colonels, who they met most recently in the<br />
first round <strong>of</strong> the 2005NCAA tournament.<br />
Every time <strong>Kentucky</strong> tried to pull away early, the Colonels<br />
seemed to nail a 3-pointer to stay close. Leonard made his first<br />
seven shots - six <strong>of</strong> them from 3-point range - including one that cut<br />
the Wildcats' lead to 40-39 early in the second half.<br />
But Bradley followed with <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s first 3-pointer in 10 tries,<br />
then made a diving steal and fed Morris for a layup that extended<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s lead to 45-39. Bradley caught fire in the second half<br />
and ended up 4-for-7 from 3-point range.<br />
The Colonels never led after a Leonard 3 gave them an 18-17<br />
lead less than seven minutes into the game, but they did manage<br />
to tie up the Wildcats twice after that.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> made only four <strong>of</strong> its first 16 shots and had no assists<br />
in the first 10 minutes, but quickly corrected course. The Wildcats<br />
made 52 percent <strong>of</strong> their shots and dominated the boards 38-26.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> had its worst shooting game <strong>of</strong> the season but held<br />

victory over Santa Clara.<br />
A 3-point play by Oliver Lafayette with less than three minutes<br />
to go tied the game at 68, but Randolph Morris hit a turn-around<br />
jumper to give the Wildcats the lead for good.<br />
Morris led the team with 20 points - 10 <strong>of</strong> them from the freethrow<br />
line. He added 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double in<br />
six games.<br />
The Cougars, who lost three in a row prior to their visit to Rupp<br />
Arena, kept making clutch 3-pointers to keep it close. Lafayette led<br />
all Cougars scorers with 19 points.<br />

Tad Smith Coliseum (8,754)<br />
Oxford, Miss. • Jan. 6, 2007<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 68<br />
Ole Miss 58<br />
With a seven-game winning streak in jeopardy, <strong>Kentucky</strong> delivered<br />
defensively when the Wildcats needed it most.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> limited Ole Miss to 2-<strong>of</strong>-13 from the field over the last<br />
12 minutes as it beat Mississippi 68-58 in the <strong>SEC</strong> opener for both<br />
schools.<br />
"That was our best defensive effort <strong>of</strong> the year," <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
coach Tubby Smith said. "That's what won it for us. We really<br />
defended the perimeter."<br />
Joe Crawford led the Wildcats with 23 points - including <strong>15</strong> in<br />
the second half. <strong>Kentucky</strong>, coming <strong>of</strong>f a season-low shooting performance<br />
in a win over Houston on Wednesday, finished <strong>25</strong>-<strong>of</strong>-45<br />
from the field.<br />
Randolph Morris had 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Ramel<br />
Bradley added 13 points and five assists. Bradley was particularly<br />
effective in the stretch run by the Wildcats, scoring eight consecutive<br />
points during a 17-5 run to finish the game.<br />
"Joe Crawford had a great game and Bradley was great at the<br />
end," said Morris, who carried the Wildcats <strong>of</strong>fensively until the<br />
final 12 minutes. "We've got others that can score when I don't and<br />
then it's up to me to play defense."<br />
Todd Abernethy, who led Ole Miss with 17 points, accounted for<br />
both baskets over the difficult final 12 minutes.<br />
"That late surge, they just took the wind out <strong>of</strong> our sails and<br />
crushed us," Abernethy said.<br />
Dwayne Curtis had 13 points and 10 rebounds, battling Morris<br />
to a draw on both counts. Clarence Sanders had 12 points and<br />
Bam Doyne had 10 points for the Rebels, who managed only 22-<br />
<strong>of</strong>-57 from the field.<br />
"You can't beat <strong>Kentucky</strong> shooting 33 percent in the second<br />
half," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "<strong>Kentucky</strong> stepped up<br />
and made the big plays."<br />
Both clubs were tied or swapped leads 19 times in the opening<br />
28 minutes, with neither leading by more than six points.<br />
The Rebels, who led 37-35 at halftime, appeared to gain control<br />
with an 8-0 run that gave them a 53-51 lead with 12:02 left.<br />
Instead, it was <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s defense that found a higher gear.<br />
Bradley and Crawford, who finished 4-<strong>of</strong>-5 from 3-point range,<br />
established the <strong>of</strong>fensive edge on the perimeter, taking the pressure<br />
<strong>of</strong>f Morris in the decisive late surge.<br />
Jodie Meeks hit a 3-point shot, his only basket <strong>of</strong> the night, <strong>of</strong>f<br />
an assist from Bradley to give <strong>Kentucky</strong> a 56-53 lead with 8:56 left.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> never trailed again.<br />
The Wildcats shot 10-<strong>of</strong>-18 from the field in the second half<br />
while shutting down the Ole Miss <strong>of</strong>fense.<br />

Lexington, Ky. • Jan. 10, 2007<br />
Auburn 57<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 84<br />
Joe Crawford had 21 points and Ramel Bradley added 18 and<br />
a career-high 11 rebounds as <strong>Kentucky</strong> opened the home portion<br />
<strong>of</strong> its Southeastern Conference schedule with an 84-57 victory<br />
over Auburn.<br />
Crawford, who tied a personal best with 23 points Saturday in<br />
the Wildcats' conference opener at Mississippi, faded down the<br />
stretch but ignited the Wildcats' <strong>of</strong>fense early. He was perfect in<br />
three 3-point attempts and used two old-fashioned three-point<br />
plays - one in each half - to halt Auburn's attempts to get back into<br />
the game.<br />
The Wildcats stretched their winning streak to nine games and<br />
beat the Tigers for the 22nd time in their last 23 meetings.<br />
Against a smaller Auburn team, the ball kept bounding <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
glass to Bradley, whose previous rebounding best was seven.<br />
Another guard, freshman Jodie Meeks, tied his career high with<br />
nine boards.<br />
Twice, Bradley and Crawford teamed up for game-defining<br />
plays.<br />
In the first half, Bradley leaped into the air to pull down a steal,<br />
and Crawford followed Bradley's missed layup with a basket <strong>of</strong> his<br />
own, turning it into a three-point play.<br />
Then, with two minutes left, Bradley's no-look pass left<br />
Crawford alone in the lane to dunk it home.<br />
Randolph Morris had 12 points and Bobby Perry broke out <strong>of</strong> a<br />
shooting slump with 12 to give the Wildcats four double-digit scorers.<br />
In <strong>Kentucky</strong>'s previous six games, Perry has averaged fewer<br />
than five points. It was his highest point total since he got 17 Dec.<br />
5 against Chattanooga.<br />
Kelvin Lewis provided a lone spark for Auburn when he came<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the bench to connect on four 3-pointers and pick up a team-high<br />
14 points. But it was too late for the Tigers, who remain one win shy<br />
<strong>of</strong> matching their win total from last year.<br />
Quantez Robertson hit the Tigers' first shot from the field, but<br />
eight minutes and nine shots went by before Robertson picked up<br />
the team's second basket.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> used a 10-0 run early in the half and a 9-0 one later<br />
to build a 36-19 lead at halftime. The Wildcats never trailed, and<br />
Auburn managed only one tie - at 2-2.<br />

Lexington, Ky. • Jan. 13, 2007<br />
Mississippi State 60<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> 64<br />
Randolph Morris blocked a game-tying shot with five seconds<br />
left as <strong>Kentucky</strong> and Morris survived their worst shooting performances<br />
<strong>of</strong> the season to defeat Mississippi State, 64-60.<br />
Morris, whose layup with a minute left put the Wildcats ahead<br />
for good, swatted away Jamont Gordon's shot to extend<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s winning streak to 10.<br />
The <strong>Kentucky</strong> center, who was ice cold earlier in the game, finished<br />
with 17 points - seven from the free throw line, including two<br />
with 20 seconds remaining. The Wildcats would need them both<br />
because Barry Stewart nailed a 3-pointer with less than 12 seconds<br />
remaining.<br />
Mississippi State came just short in its effort to beat <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
for the first time in four years and only the second time ever at<br />
Rupp Arena - the previous on Feb. 14, 1995.<br />
Until the end, it appeared they might get it.<br />
First, Jasper turned a layup into a 3-point play to tie the game<br />
at 53 with under five minutes left. Then he grabbed his eighth<br />
rebound on the defensive glass and fed Randolph Morris for a goahead<br />
layup.<br />
But Jasper also made a key mistake at the 1:40 mark, letting<br />
the shot clock expire before he could get <strong>of</strong>f a 3-point shot.<br />
The Bulldogs got the ball back and tied the game at 57 on a tipin<br />
by Charles Rhodes before <strong>Kentucky</strong> took the lead for good on<br />
Morris' layup.<br />
Joe Crawford had 14 points, including three 3-pointers, for the<br />
Wildcats and Ramel Bradley had 11 - his 10th straight double-digit<br />
scoring effort since moving from point guard to shooting guard.<br />
Gordon was the Bulldogs' lone double-digit scorer with 13.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> shot a season-worst 36 percent from the field -<br />
including several ugly misses by Morris early. But he connected on<br />
seven <strong>of</strong> eight free throws and hit the shots from the field down the<br />
stretch.<br />
Despite getting no <strong>of</strong>fensive rebounds in the first half, <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
won the battle <strong>of</strong> the boards 37-36 over the Bulldogs.<br />
The Bulldogs used an 8-0 run to build a first half lead but<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> immediately answered with an 11-0 run to pull back in<br />
front. <strong>Kentucky</strong> led 27-26 at halftime, courtesy <strong>of</strong> two late 3-pointers<br />
by Bradley.<br />

Columbia, S.C. • Jan. 16, 2007<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. <strong>25</strong>/NR 87<br />
South Carolina 49<br />
Joe Crawford had a feeling it could be his night.<br />
During warmups at the Carolina Coliseum, the <strong>Kentucky</strong> junior<br />
kept swishing outside shots.<br />
"I loved the rims today. I couldn't miss. I hit four 3s in a row,"<br />
Crawford said.<br />
Once the game began, Crawford's touch continued as he<br />
matched his career high with 23 points to help the Wildcats to their<br />
11th consecutive victory, 87-49 over South Carolina.<br />
Crawford was 3-for-3 from behind the arc in the first six minutes<br />
for <strong>Kentucky</strong>. When the Gamecocks tightened up their defense,<br />
Crawford easily found his points closer to the basket.<br />
The result was a blowout <strong>of</strong> historic proportions -- no team had<br />
beaten South Carolina this badly at home since Wake Forest's 64-<br />
11 win in 19<strong>15</strong>. The Gamecocks have lost four in a row by a combined<br />
112 points.<br />
Crawford finished 9-<strong>of</strong>-12 from the field, while Morris added 17<br />
points and 11 rebounds. Bradley had <strong>15</strong> points, all on 3s.<br />
But it was Crawford who sparked the <strong>of</strong>fense. He had 17 points<br />
in the first half as the Wildcats opened a 37-27 lead.<br />
Crawford had three field goals and Morris converted a layup<br />
during a three-minute sequence to put <strong>Kentucky</strong> ahead 30-19.<br />
When South Carolina cut the lead to 30-<strong>25</strong> -- the closest it<br />
would come the rest <strong>of</strong> the way -- the Wildcats finished the half on<br />
a 7-2 run, including two free throws by Crawford.<br />
Tre Kelley led South Carolina with 19 points.<br />
Crawford left the game for good with about five minutes to play.<br />
Moments earlier, the junior matched his career best <strong>of</strong> 23 points for<br />
the fourth time.<br />
Crawford started hot -- eerily similar to the 5-for-5 long-range<br />
performance Florida's Lee Humphrey hung on South Carolina to<br />
start that game -- and the Wildcats picked it up from there.<br />
South Carolina threatened briefly near the end <strong>of</strong> the first half<br />
when consecutive 3s by Kelley and Brandis Raley-Ross drew the<br />
Gamecocks to 30-<strong>25</strong>. Bradley answered with a 3, Morris made a<br />
layup and Crawford hit two free throws to give the Wildcats the 37-<br />
27 halftime lead.<br />
One game after Kelley questioned his teammates' desire and<br />
skills, he was still essentially a one-man show for South Carolina.<br />
Kelley had six <strong>of</strong> the Gamecocks' 10 first-half field goals and 16<br />
points. No other Gamecock had more than five points in the half.<br />
Kelley was held to a 3-pointer in the second half.<br />
"We work hard enough to not deserve losses in that type <strong>of</strong><br />
fashion," Kelley said.<br />

Rupp Arena (24,284)<br />
Lexington, Ky. • Jan. 20, 2007<br />
Vanderbilt 72<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> No. <strong>25</strong>/NR 67<br />
Vanderbilt used outstanding 3-point shooting to stun No. <strong>25</strong><br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> -- their third straight victory against the Wildcats and<br />
fourth win <strong>of</strong> the season against a ranked opponent.<br />
Before last year's win in Lexington, the Commodores had never<br />
beaten the nation's all-time winningest team in 28 meetings at<br />
Rupp Arena. Now they've won two straight in the building to snap<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong>'s 11-game winning streak -- third longest in the country.<br />
"You just have to accept you're going to come up here for 40<br />
minutes and get in a bar fight with the <strong>Kentucky</strong> Wildcats," said<br />
Dan Cage, whose 3-pointer with just over a minute left put the<br />
game out <strong>of</strong> reach.<br />
The teams traded leads until the end <strong>of</strong> the physical game, but<br />
Vanderbilt hit the key shots down the stretch.<br />
With less than three minutes to go, Ramel Bradley hit an <strong>of</strong>fbalance<br />
jumper to give the Wildcats their final lead at 59-58.<br />
However, Shan Foster answered with a layup, then got a steal to<br />
feed Derrick Byars, who led all scorers with 23, on another bucket.<br />
Cage then stretched the lead to nine on one <strong>of</strong> his two 3-pointers<br />
as the Commodores went on a 10-0 run to pull away.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> had a 32-27 edge on rebounds, even though star<br />
center Randolph Morris wasn't much <strong>of</strong> a factor until late in the first<br />
half. He didn't get his first point until making a free throw almost <strong>15</strong><br />
minutes in and finished with 11 points.<br />
Instead, Vanderbilt won from outside. The Commodores were<br />
11-for-23 on 3s, one game after making a season-high <strong>15</strong> on<br />
Wednesday in a victory over No. 10 Alabama.<br />
Besides the Wildcats and Crimson Tide, Vanderbilt has also<br />
knocked <strong>of</strong>f then-No. 16 Tennessee and then-No. <strong>25</strong> Georgia Tech.<br />
The Commodores' only loss against a ranked opponent came<br />
against then-No. 8 Georgetown in the season opener.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> never trailed by double digits, but every time the<br />
Wildcats started to make a modest run, Byars or one <strong>of</strong> the other<br />
Vanderbilt outside shooters seemed to answer with a 3.<br />
After starting 2-0, the Wildcats didn't lead again until the end <strong>of</strong><br />
a sloppy first half, when Bobby Perry's 3 gave them a 33-32 edge<br />
at halftime. However, Vanderbilt immediately answered with backto-back<br />
3s -- one each by Byars and Ross Neltner -- to start the<br />
second half.<br />
Although the Wildcats were only 6-<strong>of</strong>-22 from 3-point range,<br />
they dominated inside with season-best performances from forwards<br />
Perry and Sheray Thomas. Perry led five double-digit scorers<br />
for <strong>Kentucky</strong> with 13 points, and Thomas had 12 -- one point<br />
shy <strong>of</strong> a career best.<br />
