UNC Wilmington head coach Takayo Siddle steered his team to an 80-73 upset win over No. 12 Kentucky on Saturday, a very familiar feeling for him.
Sixteen years ago, Siddle scored eight points as a guard at Gardner Webb when his team upset Kentucky in Rupp Arena during the 2007-08 season.
As a player, Siddle helped Gardner Webb beat Kentucky and capture its first victory over a ranked team in school history. On Saturday, UNC Wilmington secured its first road win over a ranked team in school history.
Prior to Saturday's matchup, Siddle told ESPN he didn't dwell on the feat he achieved at Rupp Arena as a player when he talked to his team.
