August 3rd: On this date...

..... in 1948, the Wildcat-laden men's Olympic basketball team squeaked out a win over Argentina, 59-57. Alex Groza's key bucket gave the Uncle Sam's the lead for good late in the game. He finished with 11 points, Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones had 4, and Ken Rollins 3. Two other Kentucky players, Cliff Barker and Ralph Beard, did not play. No other team would get this close to defeating the Americans. These colors don't run.
