Fletcher McGee dribbles the ball off his foot. Picks the ball up and dribbles again with no double-dribble call from the refs before hitting a shot to tie the game. And for the life of him Jim Spanarkel can’t figure out what Cal might be upset about. Frustrating.

For those who don’t know, this was the very 1st Sports Illustrated ever published. But it’s not considered the official 1st by SI corporate because it was published by Dell in 1949. Henry Luce of Time bought the rights to the SI name & rebooted it in 1954 with Eddie Matthews.

Kentucky under John Calipari has had three teams which returned more than 50% of their previous year's points scored. 2009-10, 2011-12 and 2014-15 All those teams performed extremely well. @KySportsRadio
