No, I’m not talking about the loss to Duke to start this season. I’m talking about the 16-point loss to Gardner Webb in Rupp Arena on November 7, 2007 — one of the lowlights of the Billy Gillispie era at Kentucky.
According to Lunardi, Kentucky will meet Gardner-Webb for the first time since that game, in the first round of the tournament. Gardner-Webb will play in the tournament for the first time ever after clinching its spot on Sunday by winning the Big South Championship.
