*The Kentucky zone defense, plus the hot hands of Kenny Walker and Jim Master, led the 'Cats to a 73-61 victory over the Florida Gators in the O'Connell Center. Kentucky's aggressive zone defense forced Florida to shoot 20-foot jumpers and did not allow them the inside game which is its forte. The Wildcats held a 33-28 halftime lead and slowly widened the margin the rest of the way. Four 'Cat players were in double figures, led by Walker and Master with 18 points apiece. Walker, known as 'Sky', also pulled down eight rebounds to lead Kentucky in that category.
?Kentucky won its fifth game in a row, handing Vanderbilt an 82-63 white-washing in Rupp Arena before 23,782 fans. Again it was Jim Master and Kenny Walker leading the way as Master hit eight of 10 shots for 22 points and Walker scored 16 and grabbed a
game- and career-high 18 rebounds. He became the first 'Cat to grab more than 13 rebounds in a game this season. Kentucky started fast. Leading 15-8 the Wildcats outscored the the Commodores 25-7 and took a 44-21 halftime lead. Vanderbilt shot only 19.4 percent from the field in the first stanza Vandy could get no closer than 53-39, when Master then connected from the top of the key and Walker had a stuff and sank two free throws. The win lifts the Wildcats to 10-4 in Southeastern Conference play and 18-5 overall.
The Kentucky Lady Kats bid farewell to seniors Valerie Still, Lea Wise, Patty Jo Hedges and Terri Naiser with a 77-55 blowout of Auburn before 8,223 fans at Memorial Coliseum. Still led all scorers with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Wise had 10 points and nine assists while Hedges scored 12 and dished out seven assists.
