Flashback Friday: Samaki Walker destroys Kentucky

Quick Hitters

-The day was January 1, 1995 and 5th ranked Kentucky came into Freedom Hall.

-Jim Nantz and Billy Packer were on the call for CBS.

-Starters for Louisville: DeJuan Wheat, Tick Rogers, Eric Johnson, Jason Osborne, and Samaki Walker.

-Samaki had the first four points for Louisville and set the tone early with his defense and energy.

-We also saw the first triple-double in Louisville basketball history when freshman Samaki Walker finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 blocks. Not bad.

-DeJuan Wheat was incredible against the press this game.
