I keep thinking if we win this Bucknell, game that puts us first to win #2,400 official wins since the 1902-03 season started?

But then again, I see another site saying the Bucknell game would be for win 2,402 ( against 759-1 .760 W-L%) ?? (https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/kentucky/men/) ??

so I'm not sure ? But I like the idea I got that if we win this one, Coach Pope gets his second win and we get our 2400th !

Sweet!

Go Big Blue !

FWIW, the place I keep UK's all-time record is on the following page:

UK-Schedule Hyperlinked

I have them as having a record of 2399-758-1. So the next win will be number 2400 (at least using current official records).

From what I can see that's consistent with the NCAA's All-Time listing of 2398-758-1 at the start of this season.

NCAA Offiical Record Book 2023-24 (Page 73)

I don't know where Sports Reference is getting their numbers. It appears they have UK with 2 additional victories and 1 additional loss. I did a scan of their season-by-season record for UK and didn't see any discrepancies so it's kind of a mystery.

I've had your site bookmarked for forever it seems. Let me say sir that that has got to be the most comprehensive stat page of any team in any sport. It's a wealth of info that fans can read for days on end and I just want to thank you for that.

Many thanks for the clarification, and hyperlink !

Yeah, I 'dunno where they got the extra victories, but I look to your site as the quintessential stat site for the Cats. And it's just rich in every detail. I couldn't find that on there ! Thanks for maintaining !

Beat Bucknell !

Go Big Blue !
