Rupp's overall home SEC record was 221-14 (94%).

The longest home winning streaks in college basketball history (and UK history)

(updated through 3/3/17)

Kentucky is the winningest program in college basketball history, and have been immensely successful at home.  Now and then, you'll hear about a school like Kansas racking up another long home streak.  But no one ever comes close to UK's all-time NCAA record of 129 home wins in a row.

On January 2nd, 1943, UK lost in Alumni Gym to Ohio State.  They went on to play 84 more home games at Alumni, the last in February, 1950.  ALL were wins.

Then they moved into Memorial Coliseum, and the streak continued.  45 MORE wins, for a total of 129.  They didn't lose until January 8th, 1955, against conference foe (at that time) Georgia Tech.  And it was a narrow 1-point defeat!

That's right.  Twelve years and six days without a home loss.  It's unlikely to ever be topped.

Longest home winning streaks in NCAA history:

1) Kentucky - 129 games (1943-1955, ended by Georgia Tech)

2) St. Bonaventure - 99 games (1948-61, ended by Niagara).  

3) UCLA won 98 straight at home during their prime (1970-76, ended by Oregon).  That is the most recent streak of 80+ games.

4) Cincinnati won 84 in a row at home, also during their heyday (1957-64, ended by Kansas).

5) (tie) Both Arizona (1945-51) and Marquette (1967-73) won 81 in a row at home.

Notes on other prominent schools:

- Kansas' longest streak at Allen Fieldhouse is 69 games (2007-11). 

- Duke's longest at Cameron Indoor is 46 (1997-2000), but they currently hold a 132-game winning streak in home non-conference games.  Most of those have come against garbage opponents, but I'll begrudgingly grant that it's a very impressive mark.

- Indiana's longest streak at Assembly Hall is 50 games.

Here are the longest home streaks in Kentucky history...

1) 129 games
Coach: Adolph Rupp
Venues: Alumni Gym (84 games) and Memorial Coliseum (45 games)
Loss that preceded it: 1/2/1943 vs. Ohio State
First win: 1/4/1943 vs. Fort Knox
Last win: 12/30/1954 vs. St. Louis
Loss that ended it: 1/8/1955 vs. Georgia Tech (59-58)
Highlights during the streak: Where to start?  This era was when UK basketball truly arrived on the scene.  Championships in 1948, 1949 and 1951.  Elite Eights in 1945 and 1952.  
Victories over blue bloods: North Carolina (1950), Kansas (1950), UCLA (1951), Duke (1953)

2) 54 games
Coach: John Calipari
Venue: Rupp Arena
Loss that preceded it: 3/4/2009 vs. Georgia (Senior Day)
First win: 11/13/2009 vs. Morehead State
Last win: 11/23/2012 vs. Long Island
Loss that ended it: 12/1/2012 vs. Baylor (64-55)
Highlights during the streak: 2012 National Champions, 2010 and 2011 Final Fours.  First college program to reach 2000 wins (vs. Drexel 12/21/09)
Victories over blue bloods: North Carolina (2009), Indiana (2010), North Carolina (2011)

3) 42 games
Coach: John Calipari
Venue: Rupp Arena
Loss that preceded it: 2/27/2014 vs. Arkansas
First win: 3/4/2014 vs. Alabama (Senior Day)
Last win: 11/25/2016 vs. Tennessee-Martin
Loss that ended it: 12/3/2016 vs. UCLA (97-92)
Highlights during the streak: 2014 Final Four, the near-undefeated 2015 season
Victories over blue bloods: North Carolina (2014)

4) 40 games (regular season, official home games only - 30 if you count tournament games)
Coach: Joe B. Hall
Venue: Rupp Arena
Loss that preceded it: 1/28/1980 vs. LSU
First win: 2/2/1980 vs. Tennessee
Last win: 1/5/1983 vs. LSU
Loss that ended it: 1/15/1983 vs. Auburn (75-67)
Important note about this streak: UK lost not once but TWICE at Rupp during this streak, but the losses were a 1980 NCAA Tournament game against Duke and the 1982 SEC Tournament Championship game against Alabama.  If you count those as home losses (which they weren't, officially), then the longest part of the streak was actually 30 games (between the Duke and Alabama games).

5) 39 games
Coach: Adolph Rupp
Venue: Alumni Gym
Loss that preceded it: 1/2/1933 vs. Ohio State
First win: 1/10/1933 vs. South Carolina
Last win: 2/21/1936 vs. Creighton
Loss that ended it: 2/22/1936 vs. Creighton (31-29, the day after beating the same team by 30 points)
Note about this streak: it began in the first season of Southeastern Conference play, at a time when Sewanee, Tulane and Georgia Tech were in the SEC

6) 30 games (regular season, official home games only - 33 if you count tournament games)
Coach: Rick Pitino
Venue: Rupp Arena
Loss that preceded it: 1/25/1992 vs. Arkansas
First win: 1/29/1992 vs. Ole Miss
Last win: 2/2/1994 vs. Alabama
Loss that ended it: 2/9/1994 vs. Arkansas (90-82)
Highlights during the streak: 1992 Elite Eight run by the Unforgettables, 1993 Final Four
Important note about this streak: UK also won the 1993 SEC Tournament at Rupp, which would add 3 games to the "Rupp streak" but not the "home streak."

What about Kentucky's home SEC streaks?

1) 69 games (1939-55) under Rupp - ended against Georgia Tech

2) 49 games (1967-73) under Rupp and Hall - ended against Vanderbilt

3) 33 games (1955-60) under Rupp - ended against Georgia Tech

4) 28 games (2014-present) under Calipari

5) 24 games (2010-13) under Calipari - ended against Texas A&M

6) (tie) 22 games (1980-82) under Hall, 22 games (1989-92) under Sutton and Pitino, 22 games (1999-2002) under Tubby

And finally, UK's non-conference home streaks?

1) 78 games (1943-55) under Rupp - ended against Georgia Tech

2) 39 games (1991-97) under Pitino - ended against Louisville

3) 36 games (2012-16) under Calipari - ended against UCLA

4) 34 games (2008-12) under Gillispie and Calipari - ended against Baylor

5) 29 games (1979-84) under Hall - ended against Southern Methodist

More 3-point history for UK basketball

One might argue that it all started with "Pitino's Bombinos."  Rick's early teams were obsessed with shooting beyond the arc.  And while UK's use of long-range shots has waxed and waned over the years, it has certainly remained a fixture in Big Blue culture.  We love the three.  So it's unsurprising that the 'Cats would manage to leave another scratch in the record books by becoming the first team to hit a three in 1000 consecutive games.  Truth be told, UNLV's streak started earlier.  But once UK got going (and kept having successful seasons which allowed for more games played), they eventually passed everyone else.

How about some UK 3-point history?

GAMES / MOMENTS

There are too many to count, but here are some that stand out for me, in chronological order.

4/1/96: Tony Delk falling into his own bench and getting mobbed by his teammates after being fouled on his SEVENTH made three of the National Championship game against Syracuse, about midway through the second half.

3/22/98: Cameron Mills made his only three of the game a big one, putting UK in the lead after trailing Duke by 17 midway through the second half.  This was Elite 8 revenge for the Cats.

12/8/01: Tayshaun Prince scored the first 15 points of the game for Kentucky on 5 consecutive threes, the last just BARELY inside the UK logo at midcourt, to send a message to North Carolina.  He ended up with 31 points and 7 made threes in a 20-point blowout.

3/27/05: Patrick Sparks made a frantic, buzzer-beating three against Michigan State to force overtime in a classic Elite 8 game.  Not only did the shot barely fall in after hanging on the rim forever, but it had to be reviewed for several minutes because it was unclear whether Sparks was behind the line.  It's sad that this memorable shot didn't lead to victory.  UK wasted opportunities in the first OT and then ran out of gas in the second.

1/13/09: In a forgettable season, Jodie Meeks saving the day at Tennessee with a MAMMOTH 54-point performance, including 10 threes, will never be forgotten.

3/30/14: Aaron Harrison made a three with 2.3 seconds left to beat Michigan and send 8-seed Kentucky to the Final Four.  Then...

4/5/14: Aaron Harrison does it AGAIN.  He hits one with 5.7 seconds left, bringing UK from down 2 to up 1, defeating Wisconsin and sending them to the National Championship game.  We won't talk about what happened there.

12/18/16: In an early-season heavyweight showdown, another UK star victimized UNC.  This time it was freshman Malik Monk, scoring 47 and hitting 8 of 12 threes, including one to tie with 1:15 left and another to go ahead with 0:17 left.  Wow.  Final score: 103-100.

Kentucky basketball vs. Alabama all-time (25 different coaches, 17 different arenas)

(Updated after their 2017 SEC tournament meeting)

Kentucky and Alabama have a long history in basketball.  147 total games (fewer than only three UK series - Tennessee, Vandy and Georgia).  

Alabama has managed a (relatively) decent home mark against the Cats, with 23 wins and 31 losses.  The Crimson Tide's home winning percentage against UK is third in SEC history behind Arkansas and Tennessee.  

And while their 5-23 mark at Rupp doesn't scream "success," those 5 wins are actually tied for second-most by any opponent in that arena (Florida has 7, LSU also has 5).

Many of the games have had high stakes, as the two teams have met 17 times in the SEC Tournament (fewer than only the 18 against LSU) and once in the NCAA Tournament.  UK holds a significant edge in those postseason matchups, at 16-2 overall (15-2 in the SEC Tournament, 1-0 NCAA).

Alabama has an excellent history in SEC basketball as a whole, with 14 combined titles:

- 8 regular season crowns (tied for third with Tennessee, behind UK's 47 and LSU's 11)

- 6 tournament titles (second behind UK's 28)

Only Tennessee (12 combined titles), LSU (12 combined titles), and Florida (11 combined titles) have come close to matching them in the fight against UK's dominance.

Alabama's most famous past coach is Wimp Sanderson.  He certainly had some success, especially against Hall, but the best winning percentage by any 'Bama coach against UK (minimum of 10 games)?  Believe it or not, that belongs to Mark Gottfried.  He was 5-8 against UK, including 5-6 against Tubby, with 2 wins in Rupp.

Kentucky basketball vs. Georgia all-time (26 different coaches, 20 different arenas)

(Updated through regular season matchups in 2017)

Georgia has been a bit of a strange opponent for the Wildcats in basketball.  They seem so difficult at times (even putting up quite a fight in Rupp), but their overall results Kentucky are easily the worst of any of the longtime "SEC East" foes.  Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Florida have all given UK much more consistent trouble.  That is NOT to say that we look forward to any trip to Athens.  It's always a physical battle.

Let's get to the numbers...

Kentucky is 123-26 overall against Georgia (82.6%).  Their only better marks against SEC opponents?  Missouri (100%), Ole Miss (89%), Auburn (83.6%), and MSU (82.9%).

Kentucky basketball vs. Florida all-time (21 different coaches, 12 different arenas)

(updated through 2017 regular season matchups)

Florida has been quite a pest for the Kentucky Wildcats, especially within the confines of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, also known as the O-Dome.

UK is only 20-17 at Florida's current venue, which has proved to be one of their most challenging environments.  Five of those losses were consecutive, from 2005 through 2009 (Tubby's last three, and both of Billy G's).  Calipari is 13-6 against Florida but only 4-5 in Gainesville.

Since Pitino left, it's been a relatively close battle.  Florida had some very strong teams under Billy Donovan (2006, 2007 and 2014 in particular).  UK is only 28-18 against UF since the Pitino days.

Overall, though?  UK has dominated Florida.  Just like any other SEC team.
