November 26, 200619 yr I was at Charlotte Coliseum when UK won their regional championship with a big win over Florida State. That was about 1993 or 1994, I think. UK was led by Jamal Mashburn and FSU was led by Sam Cassell. That was an awesome experience for me.
November 26, 200619 yr That's the fastest I've ever clicked on and then off a link in my life:eek: :scared: Me Too......:madman:
November 26, 200619 yr My favorite UK moment comes from Tayshaun Prince, when he drilled 5 3 pointers in the opening minutes against North Carolina. One of the best individual performances I've ever seen, to open a game. I was at that game.
November 26, 200619 yr 98 Region Finals against Duke is my second favorite moment. My Favorite was when Kenny "Sky" Walker hit a shot from about fifteen feet that hit the rim went straight up and then in the basket just before the horn against Auburn. This was in the finals of the SEC tourney. The best part was watching Charles Barkley sitting on the floor, hitting it with his fist and crying.....he had ran his mouth all year against UK. Chuck Person was also on that team. I love that shot. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
November 26, 200619 yr 1998 against Duke in the elite 8 and the huge comeback we had. That game was an awesome game, and led the comeback cats to be the National Champions...
November 26, 200619 yr Although it was a heartbreaking loss, my most memorable moment was attending the 97 national championship game in Indy. The atmosphere was like none other that I have ever experienced (and I have attended many college/professional sporting events). A pure thrill from beginning to end.:thumb:
November 26, 200619 yr Someone should report this post!!!!:madman: Sometimes the truth hurts. Such is life. Like it or not, that is THE most memorable moment in UK history (outside the 96 team obviously) on a national level right now...
November 26, 200619 yr Prince's torrent start versus UNC. He hit the last three from the K! I was in the rafters in row double E or something, but even there everyone was going nuts.
November 26, 200619 yr Author 1998 against Duke in the elite 8 and the huge comeback we had. That game was an awesome game, and led the comeback cats to be the National Champions... Check out my link to watch that last 2 minutes of that game again.
November 26, 200619 yr Being in Rupp the night #1 Florida came to town in 2003. They came out, we punched them in the face and never looked back. I was there that night 13 rows behind the Florida Bench. It was a crazy game and the crowd that night was awesome.:thumb: :thumb:
November 26, 200619 yr I was at that game. Was there too! One of the loudest moments I have ever heard in Rupp. Rivaled the Arkansas games in the early 90's. My favorite has to be the 1996 Final four. Stood in line at Giants stadium early that Saturday afternoon waiting to get my tickets for the semi and the final. Was offered $5000 for my tickets because the Meadowlands only seated 17K(tickets were going for crazy $'s). Walked over to the Meadowlands and watched UK vs. UMASS. Then the Monday final against Syracuse. I had an exam on Tuesday morning at 11am. Left NY at 12:30am and drove straight through all the way back to Ohio, got back at 10:45am, made a B+ on my exam went back to my apartment and slept until Thursday.
November 26, 200619 yr In 1978 watching at Rupp Arena during Rupps' infancy a rebound dunk by Rick Robey really got the crowd and myself into an uproar and left an unforgetable impression on me.
November 26, 200619 yr Sometimes the truth hurts. Such is life. Like it or not, that is THE most memorable moment in UK history (outside the 96 team obviously) on a national level right now... Not just bad, but Deep real Deep!!!!:cry:
