I've been to lots but mine was the 2012 First round games.

So many to chose from. 95 SEC Tournament Championship game, went to OT against Arkansas. Such an emotionally draining game. Plus got to chest bump Coach Pope and Jeff Sheppard after the game.Last edited by WildcatRick; 07-01-2025, 08:43 PM.People shouldn't be afraid of their government.

Chuck crying on the floor, Hurt going after Chuck, UT game where UK came from behind to win in the last 30 seconds (think we were down by 7), Alan Houston where we won by about 70 points, Villanova with Tim Thomas (loud that day). Any game in 78 hearing GOOOOOSE from the crowd. Too many to choose from for sure.Last edited by Pobilly; 07-01-2025, 08:14 PM.Proverbs 25:24Comment

I’ve only been to one game and that’s sad. I live out of state and work too much now. I was very poor as a kid and never had the luxuries of attending anything like a college game. I’m still poor but I work my guts out now. Hoping to make it to a game this year!Comment

Boogie hitting the layup against Miss St in the SEC tourney.
Davis blocking UNC in Rupp.
John Wall going HAM in the Garden vs UCONN.
And getting to stand on the UK during starting lineups during a Vandy game the Billy Clyde first year (for personal reasons).
I'm sure there's more, but this is what comes to mind immediately.

BTW I used to be John Clay Rice Jr in the old Wildcat Nation days.Comment

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.Comment

Same here. Just one UK game and it came during the 2011-12 Championship season. The game against Samford. I have been to more NBA games back when I lived in San Antonio. Went to some Spurs game. Got to see Davis both at UK and during his rookie year in New Orleans. I saw Cousins, Patterson and Hayes when they came to town with Sacramento.Comment

I'm going really far back

2014 Football vs South Carolina. Never felt commonwealth shake like that.
I failed to notice this was in the bball board….
I’ve been to tons of games but seem to miss the truly “great gamesâ€. I want to every home game in 96 and the Arkansas game that year where Shep came from behind to stuff that guy at the rim was pretty great. He looked like an adult rejecting a day camper.
In 2012 I went to a game where Darius Miller threw down a nasty dunk in someone’s face…

I’ve never been to an NBA game but not sure I would enjoy that type of environment anyways.
I went to my first game in 2022. It was a blast but wasn’t a big time game. I’m going to try to make it to the Indiana game, would love to go to a UK-UL game but it’s at UL this year.Comment

I went to see the Pacers play with my son's high school team four or five years ago. It's different, but still VERY fun. The Pacers arena is freaking unbelievable.
I'm so old I watched Michael Jordan in a preseason game in Knoxville back in the '90s. Bernard King was still playing with the Bullets, which is who the Bulls played.Comment

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
