Kentucky coach John Calipari has never lost on Senior Night, and now, neither has Derek Willis.

Before the Wildcats' matchup with Vanderbilt on Tuesday night, the senior forward dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring.

His girlfriend, Keely Potts, said yes:

Not a bad start to Senior Night for Willis, who is averaging 7 points and 4.8 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game this year for the No. 9 Wildcats.

Daniel Wilco has worked at the AJC, Sports Illustrated, and SEC Country. His writing has also appeared on SI.com, Men’s Health, and The Cauldron.
