    They beat Boyd County in the first round when I was a senior there in 2000 and BC led late in the game. Went to stall ball and lost.

        Best game I ever saw in person was a football game. Florida in 2021. The loudest most rocking game I've seen at Commonwealth.

          That was also a really close, tight game until late.
          Yeah it was, he lost the game for them 100%, the IU side was silent.

                    I wish I had seen that one in person. It was awsome on TV. I'll always say that was Joe B's best win and finest hour. Even > 78 NC.

                      Probably the Tayshaun vs UNC game...when he hit that logo 3 I thought Rupp was going to crumble.

                        Legendary game. That’s incredible that you were there in person.

                        Kentucky’s win in that game ended a 34 game winning streak and was followed by a 33 game winning streak. Indiana was 67-1 in that stretch - and played much tougher competition than UCLA did when UCLA ran up its win streak. Indiana beat UCLA twice in that streak, and two top-ten ranked Notre Dame teams, a Kansas team ranked #7, DePaul and other major programs, in addition to its Big Ten schedule.

                          It was my 8th game in person. Had been to the regionals in 70, 72 and 73.

                              UNLV at Rupp March 4,1978{I had to check date). I was a student. Most electric sports environment I've ever witnessed. I thought the crowd was gonna blow the roof off the place.

                                That was Senior Day for that illustrious and beloved group, IIRC. Wasn’t there in person but it was wild even on TV.
