Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball History
The University of Kentucky Wildcats have one of the most storied programs in all of men’s college basketball, leading all NCAA Division I basketball teams with the most all-time wins, highest all-time winning percentage and a record for total NCAA Tournament appearances. Kentucky has won an impressive 53 regular-season conference titles and 33 conference tournament championships, in addition to the National Invitation Tournament in 1946 and 1976. The Wildcats have been crowned NCAA Tournament champions eight times between 1948 and 2012.?
The University of Kentucky men's basketball team played their first season in 1903, one year after the school’s women's basketball team was founded. Adolph Rupp took over as head coach for the men’s team in 1930, leading the Wildcats to their first four titles in 1948, 1949, 1951 and 1958. Rupp was replaced upon his retirement in 1972 by assistant coach Joe B. Hall, who brought Kentucky their fifth title in 1978. After coaching the NBA’s New York Knicks, Rick Pitino took over in 1989 and captured the 1996 championship before leaving after the next season to coach the Boston Celtics. In 1998, first-year coach Tubby Smith led Kentucky to a seventh championship, though it would take the Wildcats another 13 years to reach another Final Four and 14 years before winning their eighth title under current head coach John Calipari.
Countless legends have suited up for Kentucky, including coaches Pat Riley and Travis Ford, as well as such players as Dan Issel, Louie Dampier, Antoine Walker, Kenny "Sky" Walker, Rajon Rondo and Rex Chapman. Within the past decade, contemporary NBA stars such as Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall have played for the Wildcats. Kentucky has numerous conference and national rivals, but their in-state rivalry with Louisville is the most heated, further stoked by former Wildcats coach Rick Pitino leading the Cardinals from 2001 to 2017.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 3 out of 5 Disappointed
by Nkycats on 2/28/24Rupp Arena - LexingtonThe seats were partially blocked by jumbo tron. When purchasing tickets, that was NOT in the picture..very deceptive.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Kentucky vs. Alabama
by Hopsing on 2/28/24Rupp Arena - LexingtonWatching Kentucky put up 117 points against Alabama was a tremendous experience. Rupp Arena was rocking. The fan base was loud and we loved it. There’s nothing like experiencing a basketball game in Rupp Arena, the environment is like none other. I look forward to watching many more in the future.
Rating: 2 out of 5 obstructed view
by Cal on 2/27/24Rupp Arena - Lexingtonit was a great game in a fun environment. but Section 228 row J seats 1-3 are partially blocked by the jumbotron making it difficult to see the score board and difficult to see the court when standing.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Love Rupp. Better after improvements to nosebleed section.
by Hm on 2/4/24Rupp Arena - LexingtonAfter remodel on sides and new chairs,the climb to nosebleed section much more doable. The ends with basketball nets still bleachers in nosebleed section. Concessions seem more frequent on main level also so that was nice.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Seats were ok, not great.
by SB on 1/23/24Rupp Arena - LexingtonOur seats were right behind the walkway. Not what we expected. There was also a railing in our view. Will not purchase these seats again. We paid extra for the seats and I feel like this should be disclosed.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Bad Experience
by Frankie on 12/5/23Rupp Arena - LexingtonI bought tickets to the Kentucky game on December 2nd In section 211 because it says on the website that chair back seats have replaced bleachers in section 211-217 and 228-234 so I got section 211 row b and when I got there they were bleacher seats , false advertising first of all and I have a very bad back so I couldn’t stay very long , wasted money and I’m 2 hours away from rupp arena
