Kentucky Wildcats Basketball Tickets

The Kentucky Wildcats played their first basketball game in 1903, but it was more than a decade later before the team started to show some real promise under the coaching of George Buchheit. When Adolph Rupp started his 42-year stint as head coach of the Wildcats in 1930, the team came into its own. In 1946, Kentucky beat Rhode Island to win its first National Invitational Championship. The Wildcats team won its first NCAA Championship in 1948 and its second the following year. The Wildcats won four NCAA Championships under Coach Rupp and another title under his successor, John B. Hall, in 1984. Rick Patino became a coach in 1989 and led the team to the National Championship in 1996. Coach Tubby Smith was at the helm when the Wildcats clinched the Championship in 1998 and its most recent National win in 2012. The Kentucky Wildcats program has played in the Final Four 17 times. Twelve Kentucky Wildcats have represented the United States at the Olympic Games, and several have been selected to play in the NBA.
