Big Blue Booyah on Tom Leach... in 1978, your #3 University of Kentucky Wildcats were close to unstoppable as they blitzed visiting Alabama, 97-84, behind flawless performances from all three starters in the frontcourt. A total of thirteen players saw court time, led by point guard Kyle Macy’s 39 minutes. The most impressive stat lines of the night, though, belonged to The Goose, Rick Robey and Mike Phillips. Their efficiency was off the charts.
Jack Givens: 25 minutes, 9-10 FG, 4-4 FT, 22 points - 4 rebounds - 2 assists.
Rick Robey: 25 minutes, 6-6 FG, 6-6 FT, 18 points - 6 rebounds - 5 assists.
Mike Phillips: 20 minutes, 5-7 FG, 1-2 FT, 11 points - 2 rebounds
The team as a whole shot 67% from the field (34-51 FG) and 85% from the free throw line (29-34 FT) as Kentucky built a 16-point lead by halftime. The reserves, along with Macy, did everything they needed to in half two to seal the victory. Joe B & Co went on to have a fine finish to the 1978 season.
