Basketball

Starting in 1906, Kentucky won the first three games but only before Centre College did the same, tying the series at 3. For the next three games Kentucky and Centre traded wins and the series lead, unil Centre went on a fivegame win streak winning of the last games.

The series was put on hold in 1910 and resumed in 1912 with Kentucky winning both series that year. The series was again put on hold for the 1913 and 1914 seasons. The next year the two met in Danville, with the result being the same, Kentucky blowing out Centre 38-5. Kentucky would win the next two games and extend their streak to five, also tying Centre's longest streak. Five was as long as the streak would go, when Centre beat Kentucky twice in the next three games.

Starting in 1918 it was Centre's turn to dominate once again. The Colonels would rally of six straight wins over the Wildcats, once again taking the series lead over Kentucky. Kentucky would bounce back though, and win three straight games. Then Centre would winning back to back games. These two games would be Centre's last against Kentucky.

Going into the 20's Kentucky held a losing record of 15-11 to their rival. Kentucky however was shedding it's label as a struggling program under Coach Buncheit and later Coach Mauer. Kentucky would defeat Centre in every game after 1924, carrying their win streak to a total of 11 by the end of the series in 1930. The same year Coach Rupp would take the coaching job after John Mauer.
