I didn't realize Kentucky got the death penalty in 1952 for paying players and illegally certified as eligible for NCAA participation. Sounds like the cheated all the way back to 1948 and also some players was arrested for shaving points. Probably won in 1951 with ineligible players. Rupp must of been some cheater and crooked coach.

Does anybody know who Ernie hurt his shoulder in the 1st half of Kentucky game?
