Coach Rupp's Wildcats have won
SEC titles, three NCAA national championships and have appeared in the NCAA tourney more
times than any other college. Kentucky under Coach Rupp has been
picked by sportswriters and coaches as one of the top 20 teams in
the nation many times since he
took over as coach in 1930.
Kentucky lost three valuable
starters, from last year's squad,
Phil Grawemeycr, Bob Burrow and
Jerry Bird- V- Coupled -- with- these
losses and the recent injury to
Ray Mills, probable starter at one
of the forward positions, the Wildcats will present an inexperienced
team to the fans Saturday.
Coach Rupp believes this possibly may be the weakest Kentucky team' he has coached because of this lack of experience.

But the recent
taken by the many sports writers
throughout the nation pay high
