Best UK game you've ever been to

[Joneslab]

I like the NBA, I’m not one of those guys who despise it, but the price of a ticket and gas to get to the nearest arena from me would be a lot. If I’m spending that kind of money, I would rather watch the team that I’m passionate about, our Cats.

That’s a pretty cool memory for you tho, I think the playoffs would be insane to attend. I’m old too but not old enough to remember the early 90’s very well. I’m 37 but feel like 97.. lol

I'm 47. We went to Knoxville with our high school team to see that game, so it probably would've been early '90s. I think I would've been a freshman. Wiki tells me King's last year with the Bullets was 1991.

Davis block game for sure.

Close second, and it's a weird one: Chuck Hayes getting the game-winner in the 2005 SEC Tournament against LSU. Unbelievable (and kind of forgotten) game. Hayes was a warrior that day.

I was at this one, too.

Herculean effort.

Oh, one I forgot: Cousins tip in Nashville in 2010. Unreal experience, grown men climbing over seats and hugging strangers, just total bedlam.

To this day in the sport of basketball there's not been a better miss than Bledsoe pulled off with that.

That’s pretty cool man and something you will never forget!

I don’t really have a favorite team in the NBA, I just have players I like to watch, mostly UK players. So I can watch about any team and have a few guys to root for. It’s less stressful for me to watch the NBA, as I don’t care who wins. But I’m a total nut job and fanatic when Kentucky is playing, my wife refuses to watch games with me anymore.. 🤣 She will go shopping or something everytime now. To be fair, I warned her how crazy I get during games when we first met but she didn’t listen.. 😂

Top two best would be last year against Zaga and the 2016 SEC title game. Memorable games would be seeing the 12 and 15 teams opening round games in Louisville.

Random game I will always look fondly on is 2015 vs Auburn. They crushed them and Ulis threw a ridiculous behind the back pass to WCS. My favorite player, #00 Tony Delk, also went into the rafters that night.

Honestly I have only been to ooc cupcake gamed and some vandy games n Nashville. I did attend the 2000th win against Drexler so I guess that one.

I remember UK beating KY state by like 60 as a kid on the team turmoil season.

This was mine.. - January 11, 2011, Terrence came off the bench for the first time, after not being able to participate in that day's practice due to illness. That very night he broke the UK freshman single-game scoring record. He scored 35 points on 11-of-17 shooting against Auburn University.

A close 2nd would be the Cats kicking UofL butt on Dec 21st, 2023 at the Yum Center. The arena was ALL BLUE.

2012 Final Four games were awesome. Went with wife, my 3 kids and aunt and uncle. We had a blast!

2009 vs VMI, row A ......

[TM2013]

2016 SEC Championship against TxAM when Murray, Ulis and Willis were draining everything.

I've been to a lot of games. FF games and SEC tourney games. Hard to pull one out. But I did particularly love the beatdown of UCLA in the United Center. UCLA only had like 7 points in the first half?

The FF games in '12 were momentous. Beating UL then Kansas!!

[KCKUKFan]

Sitting baseline at the Garden, next to Chris Paul, to watch the Davis Cats spank Kansas (the first time). Epic.

UK v LSU 1990. Pitino's first year Shaq, Chris Jackson, and Stanley Roberts. UK wins 100-95.

That's the one for me. They had routed the Cats earlier in the season in Baton Rouge. Pitino and Brown got into it in that one. In the rematch UK came out on fire. The absolute loudest I've ever heard Rupp Arena. They called an early timeout. Me and my friend sitting by me were yelling at each other and couldn't hear each other. Cats survived a barrage of baskets by Jackson at the end to win.

A William Clyde Special. You should consider yourself honored.

Rarely have we seen such incompetence at this esteemed basketball program

Me and Jon Hale catching a game together there are the end of undergrad.
