I’m probably more impressed with this one over the Alabama win . On the road , physical and tough defensive team , lots of in game adversity to overcome. Just a big time win !

What a win !
- Thread starter yoshukai
- Start date
Needed this one, especially after how the UF/LSU games went down
I agree, they have a good guard that can shoot and Smith is a monster down low. The Hump was rocking also.
All smiles tonight. Gritted it out. Never gave up when down big. Found a way to win.
Everything that can help us in March.

Makes me start to believe again- and I know better. Beat Arkansas Saturday!
The kind of game we’ve consistently lost the last few years.
This is how you overcome the pathetic officiating. I was shocked when they backed off of calling everything on us and nothing on them. Someone from the SEC front office must have made the call "guys, you're um, being a bit too obvious. back down!"
Easily more impressive than the Bama win, especially being down big at the start of the second half.
Ya this was absolutely huge for multiple reasons. Seeding, confidence, just great great win. We finally caught a break at the end of a game this year
I do believe these are a special group of guys , both skill and attitude wise .
Yes. We rarely come back like we did tonight. Maybe they are turning a corner.
If you didn’t let out some emotions during that Reed bucket, I’m not sure you’re a UK fan. We were what, like 1-30 in end game situations before it.
It’s March time, friends!

The only negative on nights when UK plays these games is that it's hard for me to go to bed for work. I'm so amped up I'll probably stay up until midnight.
Very proud of the guys coming from 13 behind on the road against a quality opponent. Could be a better building game for the guys than the Bama game. Really happy and excited UK fan here tonight. Win the next two then head to Knoxville and beat the VOLS!!! Why not?

If we can pull that off - and we should since those are home games against two sub-par opponents - that game in Knoxville just might be for the SEC regular season title. Of course, we'd be in better position if we'd closed out LSU and Florida but tonight was kinda the law of averages finally working on our side. Need some help but every team above us in the standings except Auburn has a tougher SOS down the stretch and will pick up more losses.
Ah shit I’m at my friends game night and so missed the game? From the headlines it sounds like I should watch it
This was a great effort by both teams. We have not won one of these barn burners in a while.
Hubbard and Sheppard were on another level tonight and this felt like a tournament game!!
So happy that we FINALLY pulled one of these out!! This team REALLY needed it!!
Now let’s win out!!!

No doubt, this was the win the team had to have. Yes, the wins over Auburn and Alabama were great, but we didn't need much help to get up for those games. This was the one this team has been losing. Against an unranked opponent and one you've already beaten. We had a bad start and couldn't buy a basket early. Playing against a very physical team that challenged every shot. On the road and not getting calls from these corrupt refs. It would have definitely been a loss earlier in the season. Big win!
People always do thus as fans of teams but UK won a fluky game in Gainsville with Brickshaw hitting a 3. It kinda just evened out choking at home. Lsu and a and m on the road were killers. Should have won 1 of those.
We definitely needed a game like this and see UK pull out one of these hard-fought games mounting a huge comeback. It has been a while since the Cats had a win like that.
Down 13 in 2nd half. Fought back. Playing hard. Hustling. Fighting. Excellent win
