The freshman from Owensboro scored a game-high 26 points in the 85-51 win at Freedom Hall. Click here to see other images of Chapman from our archives. Despite playing only two years at Kentucky, Chapman is 50th on UK’s all-time scoring list with 1,073 points. In 1988, he was drafted eighth overall by the Charlotte Hornets. He is now a commentator on UK’s pregame radio show. The ex-Wildcat star has recently been vocal about his political views. Leaders of UK’s radio network, past and present, say it’s better not to mix sports and politics. Herald-Leader File Photo
