My buddy hit me with this question, took me 3 guesses but I got it. Sure y’all better than me but here it goes

“There are a handful of teams that uk has played multiple times without a win. The most is 3. Name the team that has a 3-0 record against the cats”

it is a current division 1 team so no Lexington YMCA

 

[Col. Angus]

USC

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

USC

yes....well that was fun

 

[BassProCat]

Evansville

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Evansville

Only a Walter McCarty led Evansville team can beat the mighty UK

 

[Col. Angus]

I actually knew that. Took about 5 seconds to jog the memory.

I kept guessing PAC-69 teams before I got the right one. Remember white mamba beating us

well done

 

[SemperFiCat]

I thought I had seen that UAB was one.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I thought I had seen that UAB was one.

I also considered them. It appears UK is 3-3 all time against UAB

 

[catzfanjim]

I thought I had seen that UAB was one.

I think we beat UAB this past year at Rupp.

 

[Random UK Fan_rivals71127]

USC!

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

USC!

you’re 46 hours late

Since the first question was already answered, I ask a another one: Who did Kentucky defeat to earn their first official win in 1903?

 

[morgousky]

Pretty sure this one is USC. I remember Dave Baker asking this question during the UK / Pacific game in 2004.

 

[FurdTurgason]

Name the only school to beat UCLA, North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia by 39 points.

Kentucky

 

[Brushy Creek Cat]

Name the only highschool to ever produce two number one picks in the NBA draft.

 

[NewHock15]

I think the high school is Dematha in Maryland. Markelle Fultz and I think Adrian Dantley.

 

[Brushy Creek Cat]

good guess but nope

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Name the only highschool to ever produce two number one picks in the NBA draft.

My guess was going to be McClymonds in Oakland, where Bill Russell played but then I cheated, googled Russell and read he wasn’t the #1 pick. I know Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson, Curt Flood all played baseball together at McClymonds. Absolutely insane. Also been other NBA and MLB players there, Ernie Lombardi HOF catcher for one

No idea. Transylvania?

Lexington YMCA?

 

[GoBigBlue712]

Lexington YMCA?

Correct!

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Correct!

All those times reading the Kentucky Yearbooks growing up has paid off!

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

No idea. Transylvania?

WRONG. Suck it

 

[HagginHall1999]

Pretty sure this one is USC. I remember Dave Baker asking this question during the UK / Pacific game in 2004.

It's Charleston highschool, now Capital High in Charleston WV. Hot Rod Hundley was one of the players. I don't remember the other guys name without looking. Edited to add. Mark Workman was the other #1 pick.

 

[FurdTurgason]

In the Hatfields and McCoys feud, which family lived in Kentucky and which in West Virginia?

 

[mrhotdice]

McCoys in Pike County Kentucky and Hatfields from Logan County almost heaven West Virginia

 

[JPScott]

I couldn’t find the reference but I believe I’ve seen before that Rupp recruited Workman fairly hard. He ended up playing for WVU.

Okay here's one: name the only P5 conference team that UK has never played.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Okay here's one: name the only P5 conference team that UK has never played.

Northwestern?

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

Northwestern?

No but that's a good guess as they haven't played in almost half a century.

 

[FurdTurgason]

Okay here's one: name the only P5 conference team that UK has never played.

Washington State?

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

Washington State?

No but another good guess. We have played them only once in the mid 70s.

 

[FurdTurgason]

Nebraska?

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

Nebraska?

Nope. Last played in the early 70's again. I'll give you the conference:





ACC

 

[Doctor-J]

Boston College

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

Boston College

We have a winner!
