(Kentucky's home floor winning streak started against Ft. Knox on Jan. 4, 1943, following a loss to Ohio State two nights earlier. Before Ga. Tech snapped the string, the Wildcats had posted a national record 129 consecutive victories. All told, since the Ohio State loss, the Ruppmen have won 275 and lost only 21 at home. Since Memorial Coliseum became the home floor at the start of the 1950-51 season, the record is 191-21.)
