Favorite Performances - UK Guards

[the nail at the foul line]

Doron Lamb vs Kansas 2012 title game.

Tony Delk 1996 vs Syracuse title game.

Jax output against the Starkvegas Bulldogs made me think of other AWESOME single game performances by UK guards

Just Choosing 3 (no particular order):

• JR going off this weekend against MSU
• Jody Meeks detestation of Tennessee
• Fr-Rex Chapman explodes against UL

Lots to choose from!

16 years ago today.

All of the above, of course.

Just adding on...Aaron Harrison's run in 2014 and Dontaie Allen coming out of nowhere twice against MSU.

Lots of good ones listed. How about Joe Crawford vs Marquette in the '08 tournament first round. If it weren't for him we would've lost by around 20 probably. He had a career high 35 with 5 threes.

The Blur Dwight Anderson against Kansas.
I wish Anderson would have got to play in today's college basketball.
Most electrifying guard ever. He was something to behold.
He didn't have to take a backseat to anyone and that includes John Wall.

When I read the title of this thread I immediately thought of Anderson. He was a joy to watch.

Magloire against Duke. Sparks against UofL. Prince/Monk vs UNC games. Fox murdering UCLA. Butler vs UofL.

Anytime Reeves went off, which was often. Dude was built to score.

Not really. Played the 3 but let him have it. The starting guards in ‘78 were Macy and Claytor

1978

PG Macy

SG Claytor

SF Givens

PF Robey

C Phillips


I will note that technically Givens did play a lot of 2G for the 1976 and 1977 teams for what is worth.

These were the players who played the most minutes on the 1978 National Champs:
Kyle Macy PG 1,097 minutes
Jack Givens SF 1,028 minutes
Rick Robey PF 915 minutes
Truman Claytor SG 788 minutes
James Lee PF 694 minutes

I know y'all get sick of reading my writing about the UK vs. Notre Dame game at Freedom Hall on December 30, 1978. The Blur absolutely took over the game in the last 10 minutes. About 6 or 7 straight times down the floor, Joe B. gave Dwight the ball at the head of the key, and sent the other 4 UK players to the baseline, and he let Dwight go to work. He went 1-on-4 about six or seven straight time down the floor. Notre Dame absolutely could not stop him ! It was an incredible performance !

One of the twins beat UL in a last second shot in the NCAA....

That was against Michigan first, then Wisconsin.

As far as great guard performances, I'll take Jodie Meeks v UT and Louie Dampier v Vanderbilt in 1966 when we beat 4th ranked Vandy at Nashville when they had Clyde Lee.

I remember that. Anderson was unstoppable and we got a come from behind win.
