VMI stuns Kentucky, 111-103 - College Basketball - Rivals.com

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)?It was Gardner-Webb all over again for Kentucky, only this one may even have been worse.

Virginia Military Institute handed the Wildcats an early-season stunner for the second straight year with a 111-103 victory Friday night at Rupp Arena.
The upset came just over a year after Gardner-Webb?s 84-68 victory over the Wildcats in Billy Gillispie?s second game as coach. The sequel came in Kentucky?s season opener in year two.

The Kewdets hadn?t beaten a program from a major conference since knocking off Virginia Tech 72-66 on Dec. 4, 2004.

It looked like a blowout early, as VMI led by as many as 26 points. But Kentucky used a furious comeback to take the lead with five minutes left before giving it back up.

I caught the early part of that on my car radio. The UK announcers weren't taking it well.

VMI was picked to finish 7th out of 10 in what was last season the 27th ranked conference out of 31

Sounds like Kentucky pulled a Michigan.

I'll decipher this comment tomorrow.

One of the greatest moments of my life was being at the 99 UK-Dayton game and watching the Flyers get the win. So many angry red necks.

Easy on the Big South... Gardner Webb is a member too.

So the Big South is to UK basketball what a football team with a pulse is to Charlie Weis?
