November 7th: On this date...

... in 2007, Billy Clyde Gillispie’s second game turned out to be a disaster as the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs upended the #20 Wildcats, 84-68 in Rupp Arena. The game was supposed to be an easy win on the way to a four team tournament in Madison Square Garden with Connecticut, Oklahoma, and .......ahem....... Memphis. Gardner-Webb’s win forced them to fly cross country the night before the Madison Square Garden game because they hadn’t planned on making the trip to New York. At this point, it was clear to many Kentucky fans that Billy Clyde’s honeymoon was over. I’m just not sure Billy Clyde ever got that memo. Years later, the aforementioned Kentucky head coach would be arrested for Driving Under the Influence after completing a round of golf at 2:30am in Lawrenceburg, KY. I wish I was making that up.
