UK is 50- 12 under Calipari following a loss (record does not count end-of-season losses). The Wildcats have only lost back-to-back games 12 times during the Calipari era with three of those losses having come during a four-game losing streak from Feb. 3-14, 2018. That was the first four-game losing streak under Calipari. Previously, the last time UK lost four games in a row was in February 2009, when the Wildcats dropped four straight games to end the regular season. It was the first time Calipari had lost four straight since the end of the 2004-05 season at Memphis. UK has never lost back-to-back home games under Calipari. Walter McCarty's Evansville Squad Upsets Kentucky in Rupp Arena Immanuel Quickley had 14 points and a career-high eight rebounds, but top-ranked Kentucky fell to Evansville 67-64 on Tuesday night at Rupp Arena in a historic upset. It marked just the third loss ever by Ken- tucky in 57 games at Rupp Arena as the No. 1 team in the country. It also snapped UK's 52-game home winning streak vs. unranked non-conference opponents. Kentucky (2-1) got 13 points from defend- ing Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week Tyrese Maxey, while Nate Sestina had nine points and five rebounds for UK. The Cats grabbed an early three-point lead, 8-5, before Evansville scored five straight to lead 10-8. The lead would change hands four times before the Aces went on a 9-0 run to take a 24-16 advantage with 6:13 to play in the first half. Kentucky would cut into the lead, but Evansville took a 34-30 advantage into the break. Early in the second half, Evansville main- tained its lead before Kentucky assembled an 11-2 run to take a 48-46 advantage with 11:17 to play. That lead lasted all of 17 seconds, as Evansville's Shamar Givance nailed a 3-pointer to give the Aces the lead back, 49-48. Kentucky would fight back to tie the game at 53-53 with 8:00 to play on a layup by Sestina. But Evansville grabbed the ad- vantage yet again, 56-53, on a 3-pointer by K.J. Riley with 7:15 to play. The Aces would never trail again. The Cats got within one on a layup by Maxey with eight seconds left. But a pair of Sam Cunliffe free throws with six seconds remaining sealed the upset for Evansville. Evansville (2-0) took advantage of its op- portunities from behind the arc, hitting nine of 30 from 3-point land. Kentucky was able to hit just 4 of 16 from behind the arc. Over- all, Evansville hit 23 of 60 (38.3%) from the floor, while Kentucky connected on 20 of 54 (37.0%) of its shots. Evansville's Riley led all scorers with 18 points, while Cunliffe added 15 for the Aces. Of note ... • Kentucky made a season-best 80% at the free throw line (20 of 25) • UK fell to 189-17 (.917) under John Calipari when holding the opponent to 40% or worse from the field • Kentucky is now 220-31 all-time when ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press 25 and 69-8 under Calipari BBN Showcase Kentucky's game vs. Utah Valley is the first of four consecutive games the Wildcats will play as a part of the BBN Showcase. The BBN Showcase is a multi-team event. In addition to Monday's matchup, UK will play Mount St. Mary's on Friday, Lamar (Nov. 24) and UAB (Nov. 29) as part of the event. UK will play all four games at Rupp Arena. Immanuel Off to a Quick(ley) Start Coming into his Kentucky career, Im- manuel Quickley had quite the résumé. It included high school All-America hon- ors, two state high school championships, and inclusion on USA Basketball's U17 and U19 teams. He showed flashes of confidence last in the season and was anointed the team's most improved player by John Calipari. In year two, Quickley has taken that develop- ment and springboarded it into a stellar start to his sophomore campaign. Quickley is the only Wildcat to score in double figures in each of the team's first three games. He's averaging 14.0 points per game and shooting a teambest 95% from the free-throw line. He's drained a 3-pointer in all three games and is affecting the game in a mul- titude of ways. He dished out a career-high five assists in a win over Eastern Kentucky and then narrowly missed on a double-dou- ble with a career-high nine boards against Evansville.
