The one thing you can say about that game was that there were few dull moments.
Running some numbers from Tuesday night’s UK-Arkansas nail-biter.
- Kentucky’s last loss in an overtime game was at Arkansas, Feb. 23, 2011 when the Cats fell 77-76.
- Last season, UK beat Missouri 90-83 in overtime at Rupp on Feb. 23 and Texas A&M 72-68 in College Station in overtime on Feb. 2.
- Kentucky was called for a season-high 31 fouls, topping the 30 fouls the Cats were called for at North Carolina. The Tuesday total is the most since 31 against Louisville on January 5, 2008. Prior to that, you have to go back to Dec. 4, 2004 at North Carolina for the last time the Cats were called for 31-or-more fouls.
- The last time Kentucky outrebounded an opponent by 18-or-more rebounds and lost was Nov. 14, 2008 against VMI. Billy Gillispie’s team won the boards 48-29 but lost the game.
- The last time Kentucky scored 85 points in a game and lost was March 4, 2009 against Georgia at Rupp Arena. UK lost 90-85.
- The last time Kentucky scored 85-or-more points in an overtime game and lost was March 27, 2005 when the Cats lost to Michigan State 94-88 in Austin in an Elite Eight game of the NCAA Tournament.
- Kentucky had won 47 straight games in which it had scored 85-or-more points.
- The last time UK held an opponent under 40 percent shooting and lost was March 7 last year against Georgia in Athens. The Bulldogs shot 36.5 percent and beat Kentucky. Arkansas shot 37.7 on Tuesday night and beat the Cats.
- Kentucky’s offensive efficiency rating (points per 100 possessions) was 101.4. That was its lowest since 103.9 vs. Louisville on December 28.
