    What is your "Biggest Shot," in Kentucky History?

    Because I'm older that some, I'll start the discussion with the 48' shot Vernon Hatton hit against Temple. This was at Memorial Coliseum and there's a nail driven in the floor where he shot the ball from.

        I have seen a lot of them over the years. Kyle Macy hit a quite a few. He made one in a remarkable comeback against Kansas, Also hit a last second shot at LSU to win the SEC regular season championship in 1980.

        Kenny Walker's last second layup in the 1984 SEC tournament final against Auburn.

        Harrison's three games in a row of hitting the winning shot becomes more and more astounding as times goes on. That was a truly remarkable run.

        Cameron Mills shot that put UK ahead for good in that 1998 Duke game was as impactful as any I have ever seen. You could just hear the state of Kentucky roar when that shot went in.

          There are many to choose from.....but my favorite is Boogie at the SEC tournament in 2010 against Miss State

            Terry Mobley against Duke in the 1963 (I think) Sugar Bowl Classic.

              Has to be the Cameron Mills shot in the regional final for me. It goes above the Harrison shots simply because it ultimately ended in a title. For sheer AWESOMENESS, it would be Harrison's shot against Michigan.

              Padget had a good one to beat Kansas in the tourney...

              Walter McCarty's corner three to take the lead in "The Comeback" against LSU stands out.

                I'll be different--Aaron against Wichita St. 2014 because we were 8 seed knocking out undefeated 1 seed.

                Lots of good ones to choose from. Honorable mention to Patrick Sparks. Coulda been Sean Woods if someone didn't spoil it.

                  Great list lol. There's been so many over the years. I don't want to be redundant, so I'll say Delk's shot against Syracuse in the '96 NC game. LOOOONNNNGGGGG three just in front of UK's bench. He got fouled and ended up nearly under our bench....and instantly got mobbed by Wayne Turner and everyone else on the bench. Super exciting to remember even to this day. Spark's shot against UL certainly comes to mind.

                    Here's a few more last second shots that produced wins:

                    Kyle Macy, again, in 1980 against Auburn in Rupp Arena.

                    Cedric Jenkins a last second tip in against Louisville in 1987.

                    Tayshaun Prince beat Florida on last second shot about 2001.

                      Uncle Dave I am pretty sure that was Derek Anderson that hit that shot and got fouled..But it was a big one regardless.

                        The famous four-point play he's talking about was Delk.

                          Two that were clutch to me but didn’t produce wins were Sean Woods against Duke and Anthony Epps hitting shot to send us into overtime against Arizona in Final. Biggest miss ever was Dirk Minnifield blowing the game winning layup against Uof L in elite 8

                            I have to go with A. Harrison. The fact he did it two games in a row makes it even better....

                              How about 3 in a row?
