86 points in one half - on the road
I was at this game.
Sheppard closes out the half with a 3, halftime commentary is fun

The greatest college team of all-time. I don’t care what anybody says.
There were a handful of UK fans sitting around - all as far up as you could get
At the half we were like "what did we just see"

and on the sideline, Dale Brown was sitting there on the bench thinking, "what did I just see"? 🤣

I probably watch this game on YouTube once every 2 years. Damn near get surprised each time!
I just wish this footage looked better on a 50" TV. I showed the video to my son and he couldn't get past the quality, lol. I recently saw a video from Pebble Beach 1962 that looked significantly better
Awesome, surreal first half of basketball

Easily the best of my lifetime (born in 1980), that's for sure
Jefferson Pilot spared no expense on technology for sure.
I remember that game, was on the road for work and hurried back to watch at the hotel thinking LSU might give us a game. Unbelievable game, paid someone on old catpaw to put on a DVD even.

there are 2 or 3 versions on youtube out there but the quality is all bad
imagine this team against the 2015 team.
Still hilarious to this day.
Also, Clark Kellogg must be on the same diet as Paul Rudd. Neither side looks like they've hardly aged in 30 years.
I remember this one well. I was in 9th grade. My mom was sick and had gone to bed. When I went and told her the halftime score she got at me for messing with her. I was telling the truth! Lol.
2 of the most memorable SEC games in the 90s for Kentucky happened in Baton Rouge. 2 years prior to this was the 31 point comeback.
Rick Pitino gave Dale Brown PTSD
We’ve had some fun seasons, but none have been more fun than that one. Never seen a team dominate like that one. It was like a Mike Tyson fight. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And man that team did a lot of face punching.
And sandwiched in between those games the Cats hung 127 on them. Man those Pitino teams were fun to watch. I miss those days. Just an all out assault on opponents.
If I remember correctly, Tubby’s UGA team was the only SEC regular season opponent to stay under double digits, and we beat them by 8 or 9 in Athens.
I’ve never seen another team that dominant in terms of record or margin of victory since.
I remember that we missed the first several minutes of the game when it was live. I was furious.
I was 2 months from turning 23 and just out of the USAF living in Denver. Was impossible to get this game back then, so had to ask my folks in KY to VHS it and I’d watch when I came to visit a few months later.
I rewound that half 4 times just giddy, and of course this was well after we won the entire thing. We used to just blow the pants off of every team we played. What a great time in UK fandom.

I was on the road working, got to the motel checked in and cable was out. By the time I found
a sports bar the first half was almost over. I was pissed, thought I'd missed the whole game.
Fortunately, I decided to hang around and have a drink or two so did see the second half.

Watching that LSU game, and knowing Syracuse's point guard had an injured hand, you wonder how we didn't blow them out by 30 points in the championship game. Yeah, they played that zone, but turnovers create fast break points.
