... in 2003, Erik Daniels and Gerald Fitch got the ball rolling for your University of Kentucky Wildcats, beating Nike Elite in an exhibition 107-89. Daniels and Fitch combined for 50 points to help #11 Kentucky win going away. And as the Big Blue faithful learned, exhibitions weren’t always a guaranteed win. Just one year earlier, Nike Elite had come into Rupp Arena and beaten Tubby Smith’s Cats 84-75. The defense was usually great, but the offense always took some time to get going, much to the chagrin of the rabid UK fan base. Fitch had 26 points on 10-16 shooting, and Daniels shot 12-21 and finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. The unusual 107 point performance was a breath of fresh air to the fans, letting them know it was there, just not consistently there.
