Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the greatest Kentucky-Arkansas game ever, and my choice for greatest SEC Tournament game ever.
Greatest SEC Tournament Game Ever?
- Thread starter FtWorthCat
- Start date
Yes the best one I've seen.
My favorite SEC tournament game I saw in person :
Kentucky 101 Alabama 100
Thursday, March 1 1979
(before the three point shot)
epic in every way

That was the game that made my aunt and grandmother cuss. Neither of them EVER cussed much around anyone but that game was rough and a war.
Not the greatest, but one of my favorites is 1984 with Charles Barkley sitting on the floor crying like a baby after Kenny Walker's winning shot.

Kenny Walker Still Remembers Making Charles Barkley Cry
Of all the memorable games that Kenny Walker played during his All-American career at the University of Kentucky, the first one I usually remember is No. 3 UK’s 1984 win over unranked Auburn in the SEC Tournament

2010 finals against msu was a more recent crazy game. That's the one I remember the most of Cals era.
That Arkansas game from the 90s has to take the gold prize though.

That's the one I was going to say. And we had to win out. In their wisdom the NCAA was limiting NCAA bid to 2 per conference. LSU had won the regular season. That was one. The conference tourney was the other. Only way to get an at large bid was if LSU won the tourney too.
Just an epic game. We won then had to play UT for the one to go to the tourney. I don't know if that Alabama game took our legs but we lost to UT.
* The 1995 Arkansas comeback from 9 down in OT is #1.
* The 2010 “Cousins tip in” to tie, followed by an OT win over Mississippi State is probably #2.
* A Top Five SEC tournament game that hasn’t been mentioned yet is the 2016 Final win in OT over Texas A&M. Great games by Murray and Ulis over a very good TA&M team.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of that game. March 12, 1993. “The Reckoning”.

Good list and a couple notes about that last one (I'm sure most remember these things, but still worth mentioning):
- revenge for what shouldn't even have been a loss at A&M (bullshit T on Humphries in OT)
- committee still gave A&M a 3 seed and us a 4 seed in perhaps the ultimate proof EVER that they don't care about the championship game...we tied them for the regular season, won the tournament title, and got a worse seed
There were some battles between Alabama and Arkansas in that same era. They were more enjoyable to watch for me because I was stressed out in the UK-UA game. NOW it would be the one game I'd like to rewatch.
Roderick Rhodes missed FTA at the end of regulation. Absolutely crushed him and his confidence. I don't think he played at all in OT. UK trailed the entire game and only led the last few seconds. What a game!!!👍
This is my pick.
It was overwhelming.
The Arky fans in front of us still got chesty about the next day.
