I think Tom Leach is right up there with Cawood, talent-wise. Maybe not the voice. Leach calls the name of every opponent’s players. Didn’t hear Cawood let me know which IU player was doing what in the three minutes I watched.

Just watched 78 UK v Michigan State. Awesome game in Dayton and I was there. UK used 1/3/1 zone very effectively.

 

[ALL4UK]

If you are too young to remember or didn’t watch it, please take the time to watch the UK vs Wake Forest NCAA tournament game from 1993. Particularly the 1st half. That may be the best half of basketball I ever saw especially in a high stakes game that was supposed to be close.

71 game against Jim McDaniel …broke my heart …my Dad was furious …took him awhile to get over it

21. I was born in 2001. I not gonna lie and saw I watched the cats since I was 5, i probably did but a 5 year won’t remember what happened. That game was the first real game I remember being really invested in

Right on, pretty much the same here. Vaguely remember ‘96. Cried like a baby in ‘97, first one I vividly remember. Born in 1990.

We went to my aunts house because they had better reception ( no cable then). I was 11. Damn house was like a funeral home. Dad never spoke a word on the way home. We never got supper either. Somehow I survived to this buffet.

Wisconsin 2015 I didn’t cry but It hurt for a while, 2011 UConn loss hurt but I knew walker was the best player, 2014 sucked being that close, but 2015 wil probably never be topped in terms of a sports loss hurting me

 

[SaltyCat22]

You were bad luck, man. Had Team Turmoil the year you were born. Bogans hurts his ankle in Sweet 16 in 2002-2003, lost to D-Wade in Elite Eight. We lost to a bunch of bum UAB goofballs in 2004 as the number one overall seed. We couldn’t get a rebound in OT vs. Michigan State in the Elite Eight the next year. The next three years go without saying after those seasons (we were booty). Then Young Calipari came stuntin’ like our daddy.

I went back and watched the 1977 game in which I learned to hate North Carolina.

Free throw shooting was unreal. The late call on Larry Johnson at the top of the key was probably the deciding factor. Had that been called a charge, Kentucky may have won.

Old Dean was lucky to live long as he did.

Boring basketball.

 

[Backer cutter]

Boring basketball.

4 corner, verses 4 square/ corner. It’s 1977 all over again and I still haven’t been laid.

 

[CUJO_1970]

No way I'm watching that GD 1984 Georgetown game again.

40 years later I still despise them.

I was there for that one. That was an EXPLOSION! Wake fans were trying to sell their regional group tickets at halftime...inside the arena. Fun times.

The 1975 championship game is the first game that I remember well. I would like to see a replay of the 75 regional final against undefeated Indiana.

You’re in for a treat, if you see it. My favorite game in my lifetime. Yes, I’m serious.

Something tells me we were raised in similar homes 😁

I started watching this and see that pitino was full of hyperbole then...the announcers said that Pitino claimed Prickett would be the next larry bird...lol!

If you just watched three minutes you shouldn't even comment.

Agreed. Absolutely phenomenal

 

[SaltyCat22]

I’m not judging him for three minutes. There was college football on…ain’t nobody got time for a 1979 game. Go to the 2:50 mark, the worst “charging” call of all-time on Kentucky. Cawood said, “good call!” That’s when I turned it off!!

 

[aikenite4uk]

Great links. I watched a lot of the UK/WKU game in 1971. Western had a heckuva team that year. Interesting watching two officials trying to call all that action. Looks like they were just guessing half the time.

 

[catlogic15]

OP, what a nice thing you did to post all these games. Hours of fun for Cat fans!

It was being hyped up as the monster match up between Jamal Mashburn and Rodney Rogers (didnt realize he was a quadriplegic now from a dirt bike wreck). Mashburn dominated that game from the start. We were up 34 to 8 in only 10 minutes in with like 8 threes made. Believe we beat FSU next by like 20 or more and they had the Heisman Award winner Charlie Ward, Sam Cassell, and Bobby Sura. The ACC was very strong that year and we dominated 2 of their best teams. Should have been 3 of them taken down if not for Michigan getting in the way.

Bump for anyone else wanting to watch these.

A withering display of basketball talent....

Here is the 1993 tournament game against Wake Forrest.
This is the one that everyone is talking about The good 'ol days for sure!


Here is the 1996 tournament game vs Wake Forrest.
This is the one where the Ky defense killed Tim Duncan.
The classic 1996 "greatest of all time" team in action!

Last bump for anyone else that wants to watch these games.
