Cinderella Kentucky Takes On The Rebels
Because the Kentucky Wildcats compiled only a meager 16-12 mark during the 1985 campaign, and because the Cats lost four of their last six and because the final game was a disappointing 58-55 defeat at the hands of Florida, one can easily understand why UK has been given little respect in recent weeks.
Those statistics gave critics plenty of ammunition in arguing against the Wildcats' invitation to the NCAA this month. But those same critics also forgot that the Wildcats played one of the nation's toughest schedules, that UK beat such notables as Kansas, N.C. State, Alabama and Auburn, not to mention close losses to the likes of numerous other teams.
Still, Kentucky has no respect when the Wildcats arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, last Wednesday, facing huge odds of staying past the first game. After all, the Cats shouldn't be in the mood to send retiring Washington coach Marv Harshman home early. But the Cats did. And then, there was No. 9 UNLV, perhaps the most explosive team west of Georgetown. This, certainly, would be the end.
Cats Not In Awe Of Runnin' Rebels
Most of the pregame hype surrounded the ability or inability to keep the Rebs from running the Cats all the way across the Rockies before the ten-minute mark of the first half. Fear, said some, would end UK's season within the first five minutes.
That, it did not. In fact, it was Kentucky which leaped out to a 17-10 lead midway in the first half as Kenny "Sky" Walker totally dominated play, scoring 13 first-half points on six of nine from the field as the UNLV man-to-man defense was helpless.
UNLV. though, rallied back late in the half with a 10-point spurt of its own and took command of a 30-28 score on Spoon James' 24-foot jumper with 0:08 left as the Rebs held for one shot.
Not to be outdone, reserve James Blackmon raced back down court and pumped up an 18-footer at the buzzer to give the Cats a 30-30 tie.
First Half Stats Told The Story
Many times, statistics are misleading, but this game, the stats really told the story of a stand-off first half. Believe it or not, each team shot 46.4 percent from the floor on identical 13 of 28 firing. Each team scored four free throws with UK shooting seven to UNLV's five. Each club was credited with 16 rebounds and each club had six turnovers. It was only fitting that the score stood at 30-30.
