August 2nd: On this date...


... in 1948, the U.S. Olympic basketball team was on their way to a gold medal, routing the European champions, Czechoslovakia, 53-28. Wildcat Ralph Beard led the Kentucky players with 7 points. Kenny Rollins had 6, while Cliff Barker scored 5. Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones and Alex Groza went scoreless. Then they forced all the nations in the world to proclaim Kentucky as the greatest basketball program in the history of the world. The End.
