UK plans to honor its 1948 team at halftime of the South Carolina.
There will be an autograph session earlier in the day at the Kentucky Basketball Museum. One hundred fans will have an opportunity to get autographs from team members that participated in the 1948 NCAA championship season. The autograph session will take place Saturday, at 11:00 a.m. at the museum. Tickets will be distributed to the first 100 fans at the entrance of the museum on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. One ticket will be given per person and fans will be allowed one item to be autographed.

Kentucky also plans to use Saturday’s game to recognize the 2007 football team, which won a second straight Music City Bowl on Saturday. The ceremony will be after the national anthem at about 12:45 p.m. EST.
