March 24, 200917 yr The year was 1985. This was the last time Kentucky won a true road game west of the Mississippi River. They beat Hawaii 98-65. The last time Kentucky won a game west of the Mississippi in the continental U.S. was at Kansas in 1984 (72-50)
March 24, 200917 yr That's actually pretty remarkable if you really think about it. Very interesting stat considering how good UK has been over those 25 years. I'd like to see how many games they actually played west of the Mississippi during that span.
March 24, 200917 yr WOW, hard to believe. Were we losing all the games or was there not that many games that was played West? Is there a record anywhere of the games played W vs. L?

The last time Kentucky won a game west of the Mississippi in the continental U.S. was at Kansas in 1984 (72-50) Really? That is amazing ... Kentucky has never won at Arkansas?
March 24, 200917 yr Really? That is amazing ... Kentucky has never won at Arkansas? They won there this year....
March 24, 200917 yr Author Crap. My geography is terrible. I meant to say non-conference Division I schools. They won at Alaska Anchorage in the GAS one year. Lost at Houston in 2007 Lost bad at Kansas in 2006 and 1990

Lost at Houston in 2007 Lost bad at Kansas in 2006 and 1990 I was going to mention the GAS, but those wouldn't be considered "true" road games right?
March 24, 200917 yr Interesting stat, whether or not it's entirely accurate. How many true road games have we played West of the Mississippi? Arkansas; Houston; Kansas... Who else? I cannot think of any teams that we've beaten; however, I'm having an equally difficult time thinking of any losses...
March 24, 200917 yr Author UK played UCLA in Anaheim one year but it wasn't at Pauley. In terms of Non-conference, D-1 schools, the road games at Creighton, Houston, Kansas, Hawaii, and UNLV (1980) have been the only games that fit this category since Rupp Arena opened in 1976. In other words, they don't go west on the road that often and win even less
