Hoops history - Georgia Tech & Kentucky

Found this very interesting site with a lot of great pictures as well. It chronicles kentucky's record against all opponents, including GT - link here.

The most famous GT victory came in 1955, when GT beat Kentucky in their house ending their 126-game home winning streak. Did I mention they were #1 in the country. Here is a re-cap of that game with the following quote:

Georgia Tech employed no witchcraft in strategy, in surprising Kentucky, 59-58, here tonight.

"Strategy ? Naw, naw. Those kids just went out and played their hearts out," said joyous Tech coach Whack Hyder of the amazing victors.

"Those five kids who went all the way -- they deserve all the credit. All I did was pray in those last five minutes."

Pulling the "Iron man" stunt for Georgia Tech were Bobby Kimmel, the sophomore captain and former Valley High star, Joe Helms, Dick Lenholt, Lenny Cohen and Bill Cohen.

Among the last to leave the arena was Hyder. "They probably won't believe that score down in Atlanta," he said. "Especially since we got beat by Sewanee our last time out. But, you know, I've said that this bunch could beat any given club on any given night. "Yep, they probably won't believe that score down in Atlanta."
