Remember When
1957: UK vs. Temple
The headline in the Lexington Herald-Leader Dec. 7, 1957 read, "Temple Stern Threat to UK's Unbeaten Mark Tonight."
That might have been the understatement of the year. Coming into the early season test, Kentucky had beaten nationally ranked Duke and Ohio State. But could anyone have guessed it would take three overtimes to defeat the Owls?
Twice in the first half, Temple held eight-point leads. Kentucky fought back, however, to take a 27-26 lead into the locker room. Kentucky could have been excused for being frustrated after the game was sent to overtime.
But All-American guard Vernon Hatton, after being ineffective in regulation, redeemed himself in the extra periods. Hatton hit a 47-foot set shot with one second remaining in the first OT to knot the game. He also scored the Cat's final six points to assure the victory.
The final OT was capped off with Hatton connecting on a 20-foot shot with 1:40 to play and then adding a pair of free throws a few seconds later following a steal.
Temple standout Guy Rodgers and Mel Brodsky led the Owls with 24 points each. Jay Norman had 23 rebounds.
Johnny Cox paced Kentucky with 22 points and 16 rebounds. UK's Ed Beck hit only two of 17 from the floor but hauled in 20 rebounds.
