Dominican national basketball team player Karl-Anthony Towns was key to the University of Kentucky winning of the regular season on Saturday, 7 March 2015. The U of K Wildcats went 31-0 and became the first program from a major conference to go without a defeat in the regular season since Indiana University did so in 1975-66. In his first year at the University of Kentucky, Towns was recruited for the University of Kentucky when John Calipari agreed to coach the Dominican Republic national team. At the time, Towns was 16 years old.
