Last time UK won at KU was 1983, when Bowie, Kenny Walker and Melvin Turpin were playing

That’s a loooong time.

Didn't realize it had been that dang long ago.

Man, look at that roster, Bowie, Turpin, Walker, Bennett, Blackmon, Masters, what a wrecking crew that was.

They said this on the pregame last night and I gotta admit that’s a pretty daunting thing to hear. Esp with the injury concerns, I was not a confident fan. Told my buddy not to take UK+5. So happy the guys proved me wrong.

First win there in my lifetime, and theres been some screw jobs. It was a beautiful sight to see the KU fans hitting the exits early.

I was just over 3 months old then. Sheesh. Didn't know it had been that long.

I will note that we won the SEC Tournament( beating Auburn with Barkley, Person and Morris in the Finals) AND made it to the Final 4 that year.

That team went on to the FF.
I cried after Ky lost to Pat Ewing and Hoya Paranoia in the Semis.

That was the game were UK shot like 8% from the floor in the 2nd half.

I literally loved that team, especially Master and the Towers.

Poor Greg Dreiling. Absolutely eviscerated by UK's frontcourt in that game.

I had the wonderful privilege to be there for the Cats' win over the Jayhawks in 1983. Even had great seats. That team had so much talent and were a joy to watch.

9.09%.

I was in a fog for the rest of the weekend and most of the week.

That team had title all over it.

I'm paraphrasing:
