Host Wildcats Begin Play in NABC Classic The Kentucky Wildcats open their 99th season of college basketball in the National Association of

Basketball Coaches Classic, facing instate rival Western Kentucky in the first game before battling GeorgeWashington or Marshall in either the tournament consolation or championship on Friday. The event is the first preseason tournament Kentucky has played host to since the 1999-00 season when the

first two rounds of the Preseason NIT were held in Rupp Arena. Host North Carolina won last year’s NABCClassic in Chapel Hill. Coach Tubby Smith’s fifth UK team will take the floor behind Preseason first-team All-American Tayshaun

Prince who, along with junior Keith Bogans, withdrew his name from the NBA Draft last June to return toKentucky.

office. Tickets for the two-day tournament are $58 each. All tickets can be charged by calling 800-928-CATS or859-257-1818 or at ukathletics.com. Season Openers Kentucky is 81-17 in season openers. Last season, the Cats were upset in New York by St. John’s, 62-61. It

was the first season-opening loss during the Tubby Smith era at UK. Smith is 8-2 in season openers during hishead coaching career.

probable starting lineup

Home Openers Kentucky is 84-14 all-time in homeopeners. Nine of those losses occurredbefore Adolph Rupp began coaching in1930. The Cats are 65-5 since 1930, losingthe home opener in 1955 to Temple, 1962to Va. Tech, 1972 to Iowa, 1988 toNorthwestern State and last season to PennState.

UK is 23-2 in home openers at RuppArena.

Western Kentucky Series This will be the fifth meeting betweentwo of the nation’s all-time winningestteams. Kentucky leads the nation in victo-ries with 1,795, needing only five morewins to become the first college basketballteam to reach 1,800. The Hilltoppers rank17th nationally with 1,414. In head-to-head competition, UK holds

a 3-1 series advantage over the Hilltoppers.WKU’s only win came on March 18, 1971,the teams’ first meeting which saw Westernknock the Wildcats out of the NCAATournament with a 107-83 win. Kentucky now has a three-game win

streak over WKU with the last victory com-ing on Feb. 15, 1992, a 93-83 final inLexington. Tubby Smith has only coached against

WKU one time, a 70-68 win during the 1994-95 season at Tulsa. Hilltopper coach DennisFelton has never coached against UK butserved on Rick Barnes’ staff at Clemson whichbeat the Cats in the 1996 BCA Classic inIndianapolis before losing to UK the follow-ing season in Phoenix.

George Washington Series Kentucky has played the Colonials only

one time in its 98-year history. CoachTubby Smith is 1-0 against GW with the70-55 win coming in the opening game ofthe 1997 Maui Invitational.

GW Coach Karl Hobbs is making hishead coaching debut in the NABC Classic.

Marshall Series Marshall has never tallied a win over theWildcats in a nine-game series dating backto Jan. 21, 1914, a 46-6 Wildcat victory. The teams last met on Dec. 19, 1995, a

118-99 UK win in Louisville during the

Wildcats’ 1996 championship run.Former UK assistant Billy Donovancoached the Herd during that game. Tubby Smith has never coachedagainst the Thundering Herd, while MUCoach Greg White has never faced theWildcats as a head coach.

Scout Troop More than 30 NBA scouts have pur-chased tickets to the NABC Classic, rep-resenting 25 of the league’s 29 teams. Thebig draw? Western’s 7-1 center ChrisMarcus.

Records Watch UK junior Keith Bogans enters the

2002 season just 12 points shy of becom-ing the 49th member of UK’s 1,000-pointclub.

Bogans finished the 2001 season with988 career points after averaging a team-high 17.0 ppg, including a 17.3 ppg averagein NCAA play.

He’ll join current teammate TayshaunPrince on the list. Prince scored his 1,000thpoint at Tennessee last season and currentlyranks 31st in scoring at UK with 1,215points. He’s five points shy of catchingDerrick Hord (1980-83) and moving intothe school’s top 30.

AP Names Prince All-American Forward Tayshaun Prince added yet

another honor to his resume last week ashe was named to the The Associated PressPreseason All-America team, the only sen -ior on the list.

Prince joined Duke’s Jason Williams,Stanford’s Casey Jacobsen, Missouri’sKareem Rush and Illinois’ Frank Williams. Prince is just the second Wildcat to earnthe preseason honor from the APsince thenational news organization began naming apreseason team in 1985. Jamal Mashburnwas a preseason All-American prior to the1992-93 season. Prince also was named first-teamPreseason All-America by collegeinsid-er.com, Athlon Sports, Blue RibbonBasketball, The Sporting News andBasketball News. He was a second-team selection by APat the end of last season.

2001-02 schedule - results

Production Returning Kentucky lost one senior from last year,

returning 12 lettermen and four starters from ateam that finished as co-champions of theSoutheastern Conference and won the leaguetournament. With the loss of Jason Parker forthe season, the numbers change to three return-ing starters. The statistics below reflect thereturning production, excluding Parker: Points 80.6% Rebounds 82.4% Assists 71.4% Blocks 83.4% Steals 72.1%

Last Time Out Athletes in Action used 14-of-30 shooting

from beyond the three-point arc to take theWildcats to overtime before the Cats managed to

pull out the win, 88-83. Three Cats scored in double figures, led by

Tayshaun Prince’s 19 points. Gerald Fitch scored18 highlighted by 70 percent shooting from thefield and two important free throws late in over-time.

Did You Know? AIA’s three-point performance on Sunday

matched its mark from last year’s exhibition gameagainst the Cats, a 94-84 UK win. The exhibitionsquad has now shot 14-of-30 from three-pointrange two years in a row.

Did You Know II? That Kentucky is ranked No. 3 in the SportsIllustrated College Basketball Preview Issue whichwill be released next week? The Cats trail Dukeand Illinois, meaning a Blue Devil will own theinfamous cover. For the complete poll, check outpage 5 of these notes.

The Walking Wounded Thankfully, the Wildcats have their deepest

roster in more than a decade. UK continues to bat-tle injuries as the season begins. Rashaad Carruth suffered an ankle sprain in

practice two weeks ago and is questionable forThursday, while Marquis Estill continues tobattle back spasms and also is questionable forWKU. J.P. Blevins sprained his ankle againstAthletes in Action on Sunday and is listed asquestionable for UK’s game with theHilltoppers.

Their Old Kentucky HomeThis season’s roster boasts six products from the

Bluegrass State, the most since the 1991 season. J.P. Blevins (Edmonton), Marquis Estill

(Richmond), Cory Sears (Corbin), MattHeissenbuttel (Lexington), Josh Carrier (BowlingGreen) and Adam Chiles (Louisville) all hailfrom within the state’s borders.

In ‘91, Reggie Hanson, Richie Farmer, JohnPelphrey, Deron Feldhaus, Michael Parks andTodd Bearup all came from Kentucky. Muchlike Sears and Heissenbuttel, Parks and Bearupwere both walk-ons 11 seasons ago.

Face Lift Fans attending UK’s season opener will rec-ognize changes at floor level. In addition to thenew floor that was purchased last summer,courtside fan seating has been added as well.

Currently, 14 new “scholarship seats” have dis-placed some traditional media seating and beeninstalled across from the UK bench while sixhave been added across from the visitor’s bench.

unparalleled tradition The Wildcats own an unparalleled tradition ofsuccess. Since 1903, the University of Kentuckyhas fielded 98 basketball teams. The first nationalchampionship was an NIT title in 1946. The firstNCAA Championship came in 1948 and the latest,No. 7, occurred in 1998. No other program canclaim the unparalleled success that matches theWildcats’ efforts throughout the past century.

Highlights include:• Seven NCAA titles

(1948, '49, '51, '58, '78, '96, ‘98);• The all-time winningest team in college

hoops: 1. Kentucky 1,795 2. North Carolina 1,781 3. Kansas 1,738

junction with Lexington Civic Center officials. Itwas constructed by Robbins, Inc., in Cincinnati,Ohio at a cost of $125,000.

Three Mania Kentucky’s streak of hitting a three in consec-utive games sits at 441 games, the second-longestamong teams who have failed to make a three inevery game since the rule was adopted in 1987.

Overall, it's the nation's fourth-longeststreak, trailing UNLV, Vanderbilt and GeorgiaTech. UNLV, Vanderbilt and Princeton havehit a three-pointer in every game since the rulewas adopted.
