I've been doing some projects regarding UK's history, and I know you often hear on ESPN and the like the greatest basketball upsets of all time? Well if they're really serious about the "all-time" part, then I think this one fits the bill perfectly as far as our team is concerned.

And BTW, that is NOT an exhibition game, it was a real regular season one. I wonder if the fact that it was on a Friday the 13th made have had something to do with it...
 
The write up of that is hilarious, just with terminology.

And if you click on the game before it appears that Centre beat us 51-9 the game before that. Assume that is Centre, being as it says Central College and is in Danville.

Apparently it was rough, and resulted in a "fistic encounter". Lol. "Ellis and Will Seelbach In Fistic Encounter In the First Half"

And apparently the beating was so bad their coach told them to let a guy score ... and it only took him 3 tries to make it. Lol.

At this juncture, Rodes of State, who was trying to throw a field goal, was given a clear field by Central, Captain Mason calling to his men to cease play and let the State man get two points. Rodes after making three attempts, succeeded in placing the ball in the basket.
