Lexington Center employee Craig King held the ladder for Bob Stoops as he checked the speakers on Big Bertha on March 18, 1985. The speaker cluster had been lowered to the Rupp Arena floor for a complete cleaning before the NCAA Final Four later that month. A new center-hung scoreboard and sound system is being added to a more tech-friendly Rupp Arena. Photo by Charles Bertram | Staff
