^Thanks to Butch Moore's clutch field goal, SMU was able to defeat UK 56-54 at Rupp Arena. Not since 1983, when UK lost to Auburn 75-67 had the 'Cats lost a game at Rupp Arena. The streak ended at 23.
Moore's timely basket fell through with four seconds remaining. The Wildcat players tried to call a timeout, which the officials, to UK coach Joe B. Hall's amazement, did not see. James Blackmon's attempt from near midcourt went astray.
Junior Kenny Walker scored a game-high 19 points while Paul Andrews hit a perfect four for four from the field for eight points.
Carl Wright and Moore netted 17 and 15 points, respectively, while 7-foot center Jon Koncak added 13 points and 15 rebounds.
>^ All-SEC stars George Adams and Paul Calhoun either shared or won four of the eight Wildcat awards at the annual UK postseason football banquet.
The two were named co-winners of the team's Most Valuable Award. Adams, rushed for 1,085 yards in a great finish to a brilliant career, won the "Best Offensive Back" award while Calhoun won the "Kicking" award for his 44.5 yards per punt average and shared the Best Defensive Back award with linebacker Cam Jacobs.

>^The UK basketball team opened their December schedule with a 106-73 blowout of Colorado at home and then headed to the West Coast, where it defeated John Wooden's UCLA Bruins, 68-66, lost to USC, 87-73, and St. Louis, 73-61, for its worst start (2-2) since Adolph Rupp became head coach 29 years earlier.
After the loss to USC, the Wildcats were en route to their hotel when a car ran a red light and their bus hit the car broadside, pushing it 30 or 40 feet down the street and wrapping it around a telephone pole. One person in the car was killed.
The Wildcats finished that season, 18-7, failing to get an NCAA bid for the first time since the program was suspended during the 1953-54 season.
