No. 22 Kentucky (19-6, 9-3) headed to South Carolina (21-4, 8-4) to take on the SEC-leading (at the time) Gamecocks. The Wildcats would prevail handily though 89-62 even after coach John Calipari was ejected from the game for arguing with the refs. It turns out that Cal was also pretty happy about the win even though he watched most of it from the locker room.
