Kentucky Basketball

The University of Kentucky basketball teams are called the Kentucky Wildcats. These Kentucky Wildcats basketball teams in both the male and female divisions are part of the teams that compete in the Southeastern Conference or SEC. The Southeastern conference consists of 12 member schools across 9 states in the southeastern part of the country. Aside from the Kentucky basketball teams, other member schools include the University of Florida, the University of Mississippi, the University of Georgia and the Audubon University, among others.

Ranked 8th in the NCAA Western division, the Kentucky Wildcat basketball team for men made it to the second round of the 2007 NCAA national championships. The University of Kentucky basketball team plays their home games in the Rupp Arena. The Rupp Arena can seat up to 23,000 people, and it is named after one of the greatest coaches the Wildcats has ever had, Adolph Rupp.

The UK basketball team for both men and women have proven time and again that they are a force to be reckoned with. With the guidance of Adolph Rupp, the University of Kentucky basketball coach who led the team to the first NCAA championship title, the Rupp Wildcats set the standard for the following Wildcats teams in the succeeding years. After the four NCAA Championship titles that UK basketball coach Rupp helped the team win, the next University of Kentucky basketball coach had some pretty big shoes to fill. The Adolf Rupp game is regarded as the basic formula for Kentucky basketball since his glorious eats at the NCAA championships.
