Don't know how this guy determined which ones were the loudest, but certainly fun to walk down memory lane.

Loudest Rupp Arena moments

revenge game against Kansas. 1991.
They beat us 150-89 or something like that the year before.
Closer game at Rupp but an awesome 20-0 run in the 2nd half just about blew the roof off.
Most will say Shaq/LSU game but the one i mentioned above gets my vote.

I would say the two that stick out for me are almost the entire game vs that LSU team with Shaq that we beat with the Unforgettables 100-95 and the first several minutes of that game where Prince couldn't miss.
Tayshaun nailing the 3's at the beginning of the UNC game, in particular the last one from the logo.
The John Wall UNC game is the loudest I’ve attended.
Prince hitting his fifth 3 against UNC.
For a game i would have to say when Maryland came to Rupp with Steve Francis, or the game against #1 Florida in 2003.

I don't know if it was the loudest, but my first thought was the Cedric Jenkins tip in. We went insane!

Has to be Tayshaun Prince with five consecutive 3s. Judge for yourself….
AD block vs UNC and our major run to absolutely obliterate #1 Florida in 2003 are probably tops on my list.
1) Florida - 2003
2) Tayshaun's threes

I miss those days of actually looking to score off an inbounds play...
November 16, 1998
Monday Night Raw-
Stone Cold vs The Rock. When Stone Cold hit the stunner and then the moment when Shamrock pulled the ref out of the ring before the 3 count was the loudest single moment in Rupp Arena history. You cannot change my mind.

I thought I heard the announcer (Shaq lsu game) say "O'Neal just committed his 6th foul"?
Did the SEC experiment w/ 6 fouls for a while, or did I just mis-hear?

Ive been going since the Eddie Sutton days, and the loudest ive heard it was when UK played UNC with Wall, Patterson, Cousins, Bledsoe.
The electricity in that arena before tipoff was wild. Its the only game ive been to where the place was rocking during warmups.
During a fast break, a lob was thrown for Patterson and the roar nearly took the roof off.

I was there, upper level, and thought the place was coming down after that block.
Yeah I was in the eRUPPtion Zone for that game- my ears were ringing for 2 or 3 days after that game.
Yes, I remember that they tried it for one season.
I was at the UF 2003 game and I've experienced few louder environments for almost the entire game, including being at the UK-UL and UK-LSU football games in 2007.
I was at this game. Freshman at UK. By FAR the loudest moment in Rupp I ever heard personally.
Beating then #1 Florida in 2003, It was the loudest crowd I have ever heard. Almost the whole 2nd half was deafening.
Loudest I’ve been to was in this order:
John Wall UNC game
AD UNC block
Prince 5 3’s
Crazy that all of those games were against UNC. I remember seeing people covering their ears in the John Wall UNC game. My voice was gone the next day. It was the most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event and I’ve been to a lot of great games.

In person without question was Tayshaun vs UNC. @Ron Mehico and I were sitting side by side and I swear Rupp was shaking.
This. Don’t think 2nd place is particularly close
Cant remember the exact year but those who were there at the UK/LSU game in 80/81 I think will tell you that atmosphere has never been touched since at a game at Rupp. If it wasnt the loudest single moment, it was for sure the loudest sustained energy and excitement at any game at Rupp ever. I was at that one and many of the others listed above but this one was the capper. It was electric from the introdcutions and nobody sat down the entire game lower or upper arena.
I was at quite a few of those games that have been listed. I remember Villanova with Tim Thomas. I was at that game as well. IT was crazy loud. They were favored and we beat them. Just got louder and louder.
Favorite sound was introductions with Jack Goose Givens. To hear 24k people go GOOOOOOOSE was still my favorite memory. I also loved the Tennessee game where Rex tried to dunk on the 7footer, Alan Houston last game in Rupp. LSU games with Hi-C Carter. Too many memories.

UF 2003 was nuts! Barbour's reverse dunk was a feather in the cap of the night!
