November 21, 20169 yr Author They may have been. Not really sure. Their coach had Transy ties, but I can't remember his name right now. Lee Rose
November 21, 20169 yr My first game was February 1967 in Memorial. The year after Rupp's Runts. They beat LSU 104-74, but had a really bad year for a UK team. They still had Dampier, Riley, and Jaracz but the loss of Conley and Kron was huge. After watching games only in high school gyms I was blown away by the size of Memorial Coliseum.
November 21, 20169 yr My first time to see them was when I lived in Indiana. I took my father in law to see them play Notre Dame in South Bend, it was Antoine Walkers Freshman year. We stood in line with one of his high school coaches waiting on the doors to open. Cats won easily, team was a year away from winning the title.
November 21, 20169 yr Pretty sure mine was the Tayshaun Prince UNC game... I was there for that one, probably the most exciting start to a UK game I've ever seen. When he pulled up just after crossing half court I cringed then damn near fell out of my seat in laughter when the ball passed through the net. To this day, I've never seen anything like that. As far as my first game goes, I'll have to look through some ticket stubs to figure it out, but it was late in the 2000 season or the beginning of the 2001 season.
November 21, 20169 yr Did have the opportunity to see Tony Yates trying to ruin the game of basketball. One of the first times I had a chance to see them with decent seats.
November 21, 20169 yr Feb. 1990...Pitino's first year LSU came in ranked #8...had Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts, and Shaq... Cats got the upset in a crazy Rupp Arena atmosphere...unforgettable
November 21, 20169 yr My first UK game my seats where top row till halftime. Then I found some seats 8th row.

November 21, 20169 yr Back when Tubby coached. Unsurprisingly, I know nothing more than I did when I asked the question. Must have been a long game.
November 21, 20169 yr Unsurprisingly, I know nothing more than I did when I asked the question. Must have been a long game. Tubby against is son Saul. Saul coached at some small school.
November 21, 20169 yr Took my wife to Cleveland to watch them against ND in the Elite 8 two years ago. I wore my ND shirt. Last year we were given the Presidents seats by a friend to a game at Rupp, I think against Vandy. I wore nondescript black

November 21, 20169 yr Wasn't Purdue coming off of a F4? They went to the Final Four that year. I'm sure he was referencing the 1980 season.
