To complete the rout, Bradley bowled over western Kentucky, 95 to 86, and San Francisco, without a senior on its squad, humbled Utah, 64-63, on Frank Kuzara's 30-foot one-hand shot in the last seconds of play. The defeat of Kentucky, winner of 29 of 30 regular-season starts and loser only to St. Louis over the span, furnished the king-size shocker. But Coach Adolph Eupp, who had envisioned an unprecedented tournament slam for his Wildcats, took the setback in stride. "I knew it had to come some time," he said afterward.
