Joe B being carried off the court after the IU game in 75 would have to be near the top.
I've edited my list to show why they are classic cult moments to me. These moments are etched in my memory.
Kenny Walker's last second shot to win the SEC tourney. It left Barkley on the floor crying. That was before I learned to like Charles. Anyway, that shot happened when I was 12 and I can still see it in my mind. That bounce on the front of the rim before it died and went in the hoop. Classic.
Nerlens Noel setting a school record 12 blocks, half of which were with 4 fouls. One of my favorite individual moments ever.
Performances like that make me laugh when people say Kentucky wouldn't have made the tournament that year even if Noel was healthy. Dude was a defensive force. I just looked at his stats in the three games after this 12 block game (he was hurt in 4th game) and they were:
19 pts, 14 reb, 2 blocks
10 pts, 10 reb, 5 blocks
10 pts, 10 reb, 1 block
All three were wins.
And he had 8 pts, 6 rebs and 3 blocks in just 23 minutes before getting hurt at Florida.

One of my favorite UK dunks of all time. He did it opposite-handed, too.
The bouncing of the Indbreds in 2012 NCAA-T and their subsequent Sweet 16 rings ![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
Yes!!! Thank you! This makes my weekend!! (At least until tomorrow's game, depending on how that goes.)
we were at that game - 3 rows behind and to the right of the bench. it was such a blast to be there
You could see him lining that up before he even got to halfcourt. Beautiful.
Hard to imagine that was 38 yrs ago! Golden!
The Rings of Magloire!!!!!!
This was after the WCS facial @ UF last year.
Cal era 09-12 - Good, no GREAT stuff here.
If this doesn't fire you up, you don't have a pulse.
