March 13th: On this date....

..... in 1992, your #9 University of Kentucky Wildcats defeated Vanderbilt, 76-57, in their first postseason action in three years. The SEC Tournament was held in Birmingham, Alabama, and Big Blue Nation came out in full force. It was a nice way to cap things off for one of the most beloved senior classes in program history. The leader on the day was sophomore superstar Jamal Mashburn, who ended the afternoon with 24 points and 10 rebounds, on 8-9 shooting (3-3 from deep). Kentucky made its presence known quickly after dominating the league in 1991, despite being unable to play in the SEC Tournament due to probation. The Unforgettables controlled the game from the onset, building a nine point lead by the break. Behind Mashburn, the experienced group threw a balanced attack of Sean Woods (10 points - 8 assists - 6 rebounds), Gimel Martinez (8 points - 7 rebounds), John Pelphrey (8 points - 5 rebounds), and Richie Farmer (10 points) at the Commies to win going away.
