Product Description:
The most storied and successful collegiate basketball program in history, featured in the new, exciting, and completely original Sports by the Numbers series!
THE TEAM: The Kentucky Wildcats are college basketball: Seven NCAA titles, two NIT titles, more SEC championships than all other teams, combined, in the history of the Southeastern Conference (43 in 75 years), and the highest winning percentage of any college basketball program ever. From Adolph Rupp through Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith, the story of excellence at UK transcends five generations of college hoops. The Sports by the Numbers franchise unlocks the storied history of the Wildcats by providing fans with a unique and captivating look at the legends who created the dream of running the point and shooting from the outside at Rupp Arena.
THE FORMAT: The presentation created by the authors distinguishes Sports by the Numbers from everything else available today. University of Kentucky Basketball is composed of ten chapters, each offering one hundred numbered 'mini-stories'-facts, anomalies, records, coincidences, and enthralling lore and trivia. Each chapter begins with an introduction that highlights the many exciting stories detailed in that chapter.
INTERACTIVE: Numerical entries tagged with SBTN-All Star or SBTN-Hall of Fame logos are scattered throughout this book. These logos indicate that more information is available at our web site www.sportsbythenumbers.com.
