Pelphrey Defeats Woods in Battle of Unforgettables

A pair of former Kentucky Wildcats that will forever be linked to one of UK's most famous teams coached against each other today as Arkansas hosted Mississippi Valley State. Arkansas is coached by John Pelphrey and the Delta Devils are under the direction of Sean Woods. The former Cats were teammates at Kentucky as members of "The Unforgettables."

Game recap from AP:

Arkansas used a balanced attack to snap a four-game losing streak Saturday, defeating Mississippi Valley State 91-54.

The Razorbacks (3-5) had lost consecutive home games to Morgan State, East Tennessee State and South Alabama, and a road game at Oklahoma before Saturday. But against the Delta Devils (1-7), Arkansas had little problems, shooting 51.6 percent from the floor while outrebounding Mississippi Valley State, 45-28.

Nine Razorback players scored, led by Jemal Farmer with 18 points. Stefan Welsh came off the bench to add 15.

Saturday's game pitted former college teammates John Pelphrey and Sean Woods against one another on the bench. Pelphrey and Woods were members of Kentucky's team tabbed as "The Unforgettables" and both have their jerseys retired in Rupp Arena.
