Kentucky Triumph Over Villanova Despite Few Experienced Players
Alan Mayer notes a 57-58 Kentucky win on Jim Line's decisive field goal. Kentucky's freeze operation kept the ball from Villanova as they honored Coach Adolph Rupp who began the season with only two seasoned players. Villanova's Arizin impressed but Kentucky's superior ball handling carried the game. Tulane started strong against Bradley, but Bradley tied it 6-6 and then led decisively.
