Cats Come From Behind Wins

[jedwar]

Not talking about any game in which we trailed, but one that we seemed to be about done. Which one is your favorite? Mine is the 17 pt come from behind win against Duke to go to the Final Four.

Honorable mention for me is the '95 SECT game against Arkansas and the Brassow tip against Arizona.

Gotta have the Mardi Gras Miracle in there for sure - might be number one on this list.

Forgot all about that one. A great comeback for sure.

It's not my favorite, but since the big ones have been mentioned I'll throw out the 2012 game at Mississippi State. In the first half nothing went right and we trailed by 13 at the break. After chipping away all second half then closing it out strong at the end for a 9 point win, any remaining doubt that we were a title team left my mind.

here is the KU game from 78

05 @ UL. I believe we were down by 17 at the half

and the '99 KU game

For meaningful games, the discussion pretty much begins and ends with the 1998 Regional Final against Duke.

Yes. 1998 EE Dook game... for so many reasons.

All other comebacks were great to watch, but can not compare to the significance of beating Dook, especially in that fashion, along the way to getting the title, avenging the 1992 EE game, etc.

This one belongs on the list.

Duke '98 but one pretty recently was UL'14 in the NCAA's. Down 6 with 4 to go.

And down 18 to 5 or something early without WCS. I thought it was over at that point, not even going to pretend otherwise.

For meaningful games, the discussion pretty much begins and ends with the 1998 Regional Final against Duke. Overall, the LSU comeback from 32 points down.

But a few that haven't been mentioned, and one that has:

Down five points inside a minute to Kansas in the NCAA tournament in 1999. Cats win in OT.
Down six with 30 seconds to go to 5th ranked Kansas in OT December, 1978. Cats win in OT. (Sensing a pattern here?)
Down three to MIss. State with 3 seconds to go in 2010 SEC tourney final, with Bledsoe on FT line. Cats win in OT.
Down nine to 5th ranked Arkansas in OT during the 1995 SEC Finals. Cats win in OT.

I was at the KU game in 78. Macy and the Blur pulled that one out, without the 3 pt shot.

Arkansas in the 1995 SEC tournament U.K. trailed by 9 points in overtime with 1:35 left & won. And the Patrick Sparks game against Louisville.

1998 Wildcats vs. Vanderbilt was also a memorable win.
“It’s a great feeling,” Mohammed said of his game-winner. “I know I’m going to dream about that one all night.”

Although it doesn't capture all of them, the below list is a good reference for come-from-behind wins, as it lists the largest halftime deficits UK overcame to win the game.

[Pope John Wall II]

The 2014 UL/UK game in the tournament. If I recall correctly, we trailed for the vast majority of the game before they choked in the second half and the Harrisons activated their clutch gene.

Duke 98,because i was there.
