... in 2009, Billy Gillispie was fired as the coach of Kentucky. Kidding. On this date in 1978, Jack "Goose" Givens put the hammer down scoring 41 points against Duke in the Championship game, giving UK its fifth NCAA Title. #1 Kentucky held off Duke 94-88, giving coach Joe B. Hall his first and only Championship. Seniors Rick Robey (20 pts-11 rebs) and Jack Givens (18-27 from the field) led the charge in front of 18,721 at the Checkerdome in St. Louis. Coach Hall pulled the starters when the Cats went up 16, but had to reinsert them into the lineup with ten seconds left, as the lead had been cut to four. Keep in mind this score happened before a three point shot and shot clock.
