CoachCalcom
It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

One year after a blowout victory over UCLA Coach Cal warns
fans to not expect a similar result Thursday at Pauley Pavilion

(continued from page 12)
took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue andwhite as its official colors in 1892 UK studentshad first decided on blue and light yellow beforethe Kentucky-Centre football game Dec 19 1891The yellow was soon dropped from the combina-tion and replaced by white
The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

(continued from page 12)
took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

By Metz Camfield
CoachCalcom
It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

(continued from page 12)
took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue andwhite as its official colors in 1892 UK studentshad first decided on blue and light yellow beforethe Kentucky-Centre football game Dec 19 1891The yellow was soon dropped from the combina-tion and replaced by white
The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University
UK Dance Team
The University of Kentucky Dance Team helpsgenerate excitement and enthusiasm at Wildcat
athletics events Under the tutelage of Dawn Dun-can Walters and assistant coach Andrea Mastersthe dance team includes both Blue and Whitesquads The team won its first national champion-ship at the 2005 national competition sponsoredby the United Spirit Association It backed thatup with a second-place finish in 2006 and tookhome third at the 2007 championships The 2010squad placed fifth in the Pom Division at UDA2010 Nationals

in 1976-77 including 14 of the last 15 yearsAnd the tremendous fan base is not limited to
just Lexington Each year Kentucky fans flock toFreedom Hall in Louisville to fill the arena withmore than 20000 fans for an annual ldquohomerdquo game
The Southeastern Conference TournamentWell it might as well be called the Kentucky Invi-tational March Madness Nearly the same result
The nationrsquos largest media contingent followsthe Cats from start to finish simply because of thefansrsquo incessant appetite for information on theirWildcats

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

(continued from page 12)
took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

It was nearly one year ago that No 1 Ken-tucky faced UCLA in Chicago in the inau-
gural CBS Sports Classic What ensued was anhistoric outcome and one of the most impres-sive performances in UKrsquos 38-1 season
Just donrsquot expect to see it again Thursday atPauley Pavilion in Los Angeles
ldquoLast year was an outlierrdquo UK head coach
John Calipari said Monday ldquoI had a ridiculousteam And they would go into a game like thatto smoke somebody like they did Kansas Theywould go in with that mentality This team iswe donrsquot have that mentalityrdquo
Billed as one of the more intriguing match-ups of the nonconference season last yearKentucky entered its game vs UCLA with astrong reputation after having thoroughly out-played Kansas in Indianapolis in the State Farm
Champions ClassicInstead Kentucky put together as complete
of a performance on a national stage as youwill ever see and the intriguing matchup be-came a jaw-dropping blowout UK raced outto a 24-0 lead and led 41-7 at halftime thelowest scoring output by a UK opponent in thepast 31 years of UKrsquos storied history
This yearrsquos team may not have that mentali-ty yet that Coach Cal is asking for but it shouldbe noted that in its biggest game of the year atop-five showdown against Duke at the Champi-ons Classic it did play its best and most completegame of the season It should also be noted thatUK had sophomore Tyler Ulis in that game andhis status is still uncertain for Thursdayrsquos matchupagainst UCLA with a hyperextended right elbow
But after a sluggish performance Mondaynight at Rupp Arena where the Wildcats weremissing Ulis and struggled to gain separationfrom a pesky Illinois State team Coach Cal ismore concerned with how his team will respondto physicality in the paint than replicating anysort of performance from last season
ldquoI tell you what if they watch this gametheyrsquore going to post us uprdquo Calipari said ofUCLA after Mondayrsquos game against the RedbirdsldquoTony Parker is every time they throw it theyrsquoregoing to go at our bigs So we better have some
ideas what have wersquore going to dordquoHersquos also concerned with his team doing a bit
of self-reflection and self-evaluation After a num-ber of inconsistent performances Coach Cal saysmany of his players need to look in the mirrorfind out what they do best and become the bestversions of themselves
Coach Cal held individual meetings witheach player on the team over the past week ForMarcus Lee the question centered around whatthe outgoing springy forward needed to do to getto the next level The answer of course is bringenergy to the game grab rebounds and be a de-fensive presence
After his first career double-double Lee wasabsent in the ensuing three games so Calipari

Of the 11 times these two famed programshave met only once have they faced off in LosAngeles Kentucky won that matchup 68-66 onDec 4 1959 ndash nearly 56 years to the day fromthis seasonrsquos meeting
Symmetry aside Thursdayrsquos game will be alitmus test of sorts for both teams Kentucky withor without Ulis will be able to see how it faresagainst a quality opponent on its home courtUCLA (4-3) on the other hand will host the No1 Wildcats with an opportunity to get its first mar-quee victory of the season and exact a bit of re-venge from a 39-point defeat one year ago
UK arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday after-noon and got a practice in at the Los AngelesLakersrsquo practice facility The team then practicedagain Wednesday at famed Pauley Pavilion
On Thursday nearly one year after its blow-out victory over the Bruins and 56 years after itsfirst and only appearance in Los Angeles Ken-tucky will have a chance to see if it can makea little more history find out more about itselfand get some answers from its self-evaluation
ldquoThe history of that programrdquo Calipari saidof UCLA ldquoAnd I think us having an opportu-nity to go there hellip itrsquos going to be neat A neattriprdquo

fans to not expect a similar result Thursday at Pauley Pavilion

(continued from page 12)
took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo
In addition to the obvious differencein personnel from a year ago Thursdayrsquosgame is also the first true road game ofthe season for Kentucky

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue andwhite as its official colors in 1892 UK studentshad first decided on blue and light yellow beforethe Kentucky-Centre football game Dec 19 1891The yellow was soon dropped from the combina-tion and replaced by white
The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road

took the California native out of thestarting lineup and told him if he want-ed to play he had to bring energy Whatfollowed was a 13-point 12-reboundperformance against Illinois State thathad his Coach gushing afterward
Now Coach Cal is looking for thesame from Alex Poythress in becomingan elite athlete day in and day out Ja-
mal Murray to get to the line and IsaiahBriscoe to hit free throws among otherplayers
ldquoThe thing about elite athletes andworld-class athletes they can evaluatetheir performance and say all rightI got to fix thisrdquo Calipari said ldquoTheyself-evaluate and thatrsquos what this teamneeds to do
ldquoIt is demoralizing when guys go up
and miss four front-end one-and-onesin the first half and we miss 10 freethrows Four of them front-end one-and-ones Thatrsquos like missing 14 freethrows It is demoralizing Now youcan miss a couple but you canrsquot missthem all and expect to be on that courtYou just canrsquot So again self-evaluateIrsquom going to get to that line Irsquom goingto want to be at that line Irsquom not goingto shoot air balls from the foul line Itrsquosnot going to be who I amrdquo

The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a

The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue andwhite as its official colors in 1892 UK studentshad first decided on blue and light yellow beforethe Kentucky-Centre football game Dec 19 1891The yellow was soon dropped from the combina-tion and replaced by white
The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University
UK Dance Team
The University of Kentucky Dance Team helpsgenerate excitement and enthusiasm at Wildcat
athletics events Under the tutelage of Dawn Dun-can Walters and assistant coach Andrea Mastersthe dance team includes both Blue and Whitesquads The team won its first national champion-ship at the 2005 national competition sponsoredby the United Spirit Association It backed thatup with a second-place finish in 2006 and tookhome third at the 2007 championships The 2010squad placed fifth in the Pom Division at UDA2010 Nationals
Fan-tasticThe Kentucky cheerleaders band and dance
team combine to entertain the nationrsquos largest andmost loyal fan base in college basketball SureAshley Judd Tommy Lasorda Muhammad Ali andBackstreet Boy Kevin Richardson steal the atten-tion but those Big Blue stars are just a few of theCat fans in attendance at UK games Itrsquos each andevery one of the many Kentucky fans who deservethe credit for helping the Wildcats lead the nation
in attendance 22 times since Rupp Arena opened
in 1976-77 including 14 of the last 15 yearsAnd the tremendous fan base is not limited to
just Lexington Each year Kentucky fans flock toFreedom Hall in Louisville to fill the arena withmore than 20000 fans for an annual ldquohomerdquo game
The Southeastern Conference TournamentWell it might as well be called the Kentucky Invi-tational March Madness Nearly the same result

The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University

The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue andwhite as its official colors in 1892 UK studentshad first decided on blue and light yellow beforethe Kentucky-Centre football game Dec 19 1891The yellow was soon dropped from the combina-tion and replaced by white
The particular Kentucky shade of blue closeto royal blue was determined without ceremonyAfter settling on the base colors a student posedthe logical question ldquoWhat color bluerdquo Letter-man Richard Stoll looked down at his necktie andraised it to the air The vote was unanimous
Wildcats Nickname
The official nickname for the University ofKentuckyrsquos athletics teams is ldquoWildcatsrdquo The nick-name became synonymous with UK shortly after a6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct 9 1909on the road
Commandant Carbusier then head of the mili-tary department at old State University (UK) told a
group of students in a chapel service following thegame that the Kentucky football team had ldquofoughtlike wildcatsrdquo
Later the name Wildcats became more andmore popular among UK followers as well as withmembers of the media As a result the nicknamewas adopted by the University
UK Dance Team
The University of Kentucky Dance Team helpsgenerate excitement and enthusiasm at Wildcat
athletics events Under the tutelage of Dawn Dun-can Walters and assistant coach Andrea Mastersthe dance team includes both Blue and Whitesquads The team won its first national champion-ship at the 2005 national competition sponsoredby the United Spirit Association It backed thatup with a second-place finish in 2006 and tookhome third at the 2007 championships The 2010squad placed fifth in the Pom Division at UDA2010 Nationals

in attendance 22 times since Rupp Arena opened
in 1976-77 including 14 of the last 15 yearsAnd the tremendous fan base is not limited to
just Lexington Each year Kentucky fans flock toFreedom Hall in Louisville to fill the arena withmore than 20000 fans for an annual ldquohomerdquo game
The Southeastern Conference TournamentWell it might as well be called the Kentucky Invi-tational March Madness Nearly the same result
The nationrsquos largest media contingent followsthe Cats from start to finish simply because of thefansrsquo incessant appetite for information on theirWildcats
Trademark Swoosh
Only the best wear Nike Kentucky not onlywears Nike but is under an all-school contractwith the athletic apparel company In 1997 UKsigned the contract with the popular makers ofthe trademark swoosh Thanks to Nikersquos extensiveresearch and product development UK student --athletes stay on the cutting edge of quality and
