I don't think we ever beat Kentucky until the 60's and that just once and it wasn't with Pete.

Dale made it his mission to beat Kentucky, and at times I think it compromised some other games and even into post-season, but he was obsessed with beating them.

I can remember crowds wrapped around the building in 1980 to watch 2 top 5 teams squaring of in the Assembly Center.

Too many stories to tell, but you'll get some good ones in this thread.

We had to have beat them in 1952/53 and/or 1953/54. Bob Pettit took the team to the Final Four those two seasons & only the SEC Champ went to what was then, only the Sweet Sixteen.

ETA: I guess not!
