My normal sports blog reading brought my to this post at With Leather about #20 Kentucky getting smoked by Gardner-Webb in early NCAA basketball action.
Apparently, the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs didn’t get the script, because #20 Kentucky got its clock cleaned by a school that was expected to be at the bottom of the Atlantic Sun conference. The Wildcats opened the game by falling behind 14-0, and they never came closer than seven points the rest of the game, as white people with weird names like Grayson Flittner (22 points) and Auryn McMillan shocked the nation’s winningest college hoops program at fabled Rupp Arena.
The name that caught my eye was Grayson Flittner. He went to my high school, Tri-Central, in Tipton County, Indiana. He transferred from hated rival Tipton early in high school (surely pissing off the Blue Devil fans) and went on to be an absolute stud for my alma mater Trojans. Now the Gardner-Webb sophomore puts up 22 on the Wildcats at Rupp Arena and gets all over the Sports Center highlights.
Sadly, ESPN is stupid and doesn’t have a way for you to embed video highlights from their site like YouTube or something, but you can check the highlights in the video on this ESPN story.
