Tubby Smith will have a jersey retired in his honor at Rupp Arena on Friday, celebrating the coach’s 263 victories, five regular-season SEC championships, five SEC Tournament titles and one national championship during his 10-year stint at Kentucky.
Smith’s High Point squad will take on the Wildcats at noon ET, with the jersey ceremony set to begin at 11:40 a.m.
“It is with great pride, enjoyment and a sense of excitement that we add one more name to the list of people who will see their names in the rafters of Rupp Arena and that’s Orlando ‘Tubby’ Smith,” UK AD Mitch Barnhart said.
