U N PA R A L L E L E D T R A D I T I O N 1948-49 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS KENTUCKY 46, OKLAHOMA A&M 36 March 26, 1949 • Seattle, Wash. Paced by Alex Groza’s 25 points and a defense that limited the Aggies to a mere nine field goals, the Wildcats were crowned NCAA Champions for the second straight year. Groza, a unanimous selection as the “Player of the Tournament,” scored more than twice as many points as any other player. A&M’s Jack Shelton was the game’s only other player to score in double figures. He finished with 12 points. The Aggies, coached by Hank Iba, led 5-2, but the Wildcats scored seven straight points, five by Groza, and never trailed again as they took a 25-20 first-half lead. UK extended the lead to 31-21 early in the second half and coasted the rest of the way.
