UK vs Navy

Chapman and Co vs David Robinson

 

[SemperFiCat]

I was so young at the time, I never really think of them as playing at the same time. By the time I really understood who both of them were, their NBA careers had taken different paths. I remember Rex at Kentucky, but not Robinson pre-NBA all-star caliber.

Pretty neat, but I'm stuck at work.

Robinson scored 45 points, which I believe is still the record in Rupp Arena.

 

[TankedCat]

he got a standing ovation from the Rupp crowd for it

When Chapman swung around momentarily open in the corner, Davender and Blackmon wouldnt pass it to him.

Fun fact, my dad met David Robin's the day after that game.

That is funny...so did my brother. Got his autograph on either a 50 or 100 dollar bill

I was at that game..

Can't remember if they called him "the Admiral" at that point.
Dude was unstoppable, poor Rob Lock got abused.

I know we hate all things Duke on here, but when Duke beat Navy handily to go to the Final Four the Duke fans had one of the best chants ever....Abandon ship! Abandon ship!

Lock later joked about the time he "held Robinson to 45 points."

Was that the same year Navy lost to Mouse McFadden and Cleveland St in the tournament?

I was there. It was the first UK game I ever attended.

Furd ... I think you probably meant "Davender and Blackmon wouldn't pass it to Chapman." Sorry to interrupt, if I'm mistaken (as I am, often).

Robinson was one of the best players I ever saw. Unselfish. Lol....I remember that during his pro career some thought he wouldn't make it because he didn't carry 'street cred'. He spent money building libraries for communities.

Yep, I was there. Was a student at UK at the time. He received a loud, prolonged ovation. I've never seen that happen in Rupp for an opposing player.

The days when Kentucky said you are WELCOME to bring in the best player on either team and we will BURY you.

I believe that's correct.

A home loss was rare.

Davender did not throw it too anyone ball hog good individual player

TIL about Origin Sports channel. Thanks OP. Gonna have to check it out.

 

[onearmedjesus]

Easily the best performance I ever saw live. If Navy had even a hint of good outside shooting, they would have won by ten. Glad to get out of that one with a win.
