Kentucky's records on Senior Day
This Thursday, the University of Kentucky will honor Darius Miller and Eloy Vargas, and then face the Georgia Bulldogs.
In the 108 final home games of each previous season, UK is 93-15 (86.1%).
In the 78 final home games since UK joined the SEC, UK is an absurd 74-4 (94.9%).
In fact, UK won on 30 straight Senior Days (1933 through 1963, no season in 1952-53), and then topped that by winning on 32 straight Senior Days (1965 through 1996).
The vast majority of matchups have been with conference opponents, and among those teams, only Arkansas has never been scheduled on Senior Day.
With all that winning, the losses really stand out in your memory. Who can forget the 1997 disappointment against Eddie Fogler's Gamecocks, allowing South Carolina to steal the regular season crown? Or the 2009 loss to Georgia, which probably sealed Billy Gillispie's fate?
UK's most common opponents on Senior Day and their record against them:
Vanderbilt: 24-1
Tennessee: 13-1
Auburn: 7-0
Florida: 6-1
Mississippi State: 5-0
Centre: 4-1
Xavier: 4-0
Alabama: 4-0
LSU: 4-0
Georgia Tech: 4-0
Georgetown College: 3-1
Georgia: 3-1
UK's largest margins of victory on Senior Day:
1) +62, 2003 against Vanderbilt (106-44)
2) +47, 1995 against LSU (127-80)
3) +43, 1955 against Tennessee (104-61)
3) +43, 1946 against Xavier (83-40)
5) +39, 1974 against MSU (108-69)
6) +38, 1996 against Vanderbilt (101-63)
7) +37, 1947 against Georgia Tech (83-46)
8) +36, 1954 against Vanderbilt (100-64)
9) +35, 1972 against Auburn (102-67)
10) +33, 1949 against Vanderbilt (70-37)
