In a game where 3 centers and 4 total players fouled out, Anthony Davis' 2012 team laid claim as best of the many Kentucky champs with a 92-76 win over Kentucky's 1978 squad.
The win puts moves our preseason #3 team back up to #13 and within half a rating point of #7 in our all-time ratings heading into a Final 4 against either UNLV or a team 2 hours to the north in Cincinnati.
Davis and the 1978 center Rick Robey are two of the greatest foul drawing centers in the history of college basketball. Davis is incredible at avoiding fouls and turnovers as the greatest college player of the century, and he drew the 5th foul first on Robey, but still had to contend with a great backup center in Mike Phillips, and both of them eventually fouled out.
The 2012 squad then went small with an extra point guard Darius Miller, who also fouled out as well guarding all-time great pg Kyle Macy. Macy's elite PG status led to a 12 not being a steal late in the game, at which point Macy drilled a 3-pointer to finish 21 points.
However with Robey's early foul out, Davis scored 24 before fouling out then Terrence Jones scored 20 with 10 rebounds and 3 steals.
