... in 1948, the U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball team struck gold in London as they destroyed the Frenchies 65-21. This meant back-to-back golds for the Americans. The team consisting of Adolph Rupp's Fabulous Five and players from the Phillips Oilers had a comfortable margin in each game. Alex Groza had 11 points in the final. Wah-Wah Jones and Ralph Beard added four each, Ken Rollins two, and Cliff Barker did not score. Rupp's Kentucky players were the first Wildcat basketball players to ever win a gold medal. More would come.
