The state was lost a great homegrown talent. Former Kentucky guard Terry Mobley passed away this morning. He was 74 years old.
The Harrodsburg native played for Adolph Rupp from 1962-65. The highlight of his career came in 1963. His 15-footer in the finale of the Sugar Bowl Classic gave the top-ranked Cats an 81-79 victory over No. 9 Duke. It’s considered one of the best clutch baskets in Kentucky basketball history.
After graduation he could not stay away from the university. He spent 33 years in various roles, from chief development officer to Board of Trustees member.
