Big Blue Nation remembers Terrence Clarke

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Big Blue Nation is remembering a former Kentucky basketball star who died in a crash.

One year ago Friday, Terrence Clarke ran a red light, hit a truck and crashed into a pole in Los Angeles.

He died at the hospital.

Coach John Calipari and the Kentucky basketball team attended his funeral.

UK women’s basketball star Rhyne Howard honored Clarke by wearing a number five jersey during her senior day game against Auburn.

Coach Cal tweeted Friday morning, “I can still remember where I was when I got the call about Terrence passing.”

He says not a day goes by where he doesn’t think of him.

Hard to believe it’s been a year.

I can still remember where I was when I got the call about Terrence passing. He and his family remain on my prayer list and not a day goes by where I don’t think of him. He was a shining light to us all. pic.twitter.com/A5Z1zmblOa
