Kentucky loses 3rd straight home game for 1st time in Rupp Arena history

The Kentucky men's basketball program is a blue blood that has seen some lows over the years. But it has never lost games quite like this before.

The No. 17-ranked Wildcats fell 89-85 to unranked Gonzaga on Saturday, their third straight loss at home. It is the first time Kentucky has ever lost three in a row at Rupp Arena, which opened in 1976 and has seen six head coaches over the years.

The last time Kentucky lost three home games in a row was 1966, the year Rupp Arena's namesake, Adolph Rupp, had arguably the worst season of his career, with a 13-13 record.
