Been a fan since 1977 but that 2010 team's loss to WVU is the hardest one I've ever taken.

All of them.
The one's that hurt the most for me were, in order.
1. 2015
2. 1995
3. 2010
4. 1992
5. 2017
Historically I would change the 1966, then 1975, then 1992.
I loved that 95 team. Anthony Epps should have been the starting PG, but Pitino insisted on Sheppard. Sheppard was just out of position running point and would charge too often.Hard to believe you’re the only one to mention 95 so far. That team was dominant & lost 4 regular season games by a total of 10 points. They were extremely deep with talent & experience & destroyed their first 3 tournament opponents before going cold against UNC in the region final. That was a really fun team to watch & I had no doubt that group was gonna cut down the nets in 96. The 84 team was another one that was rolling & looked like the best team in the country heading into the Final Four. I’m still not over that 2nd half. Everybody loved the 92 team & they probably overachieved as much as any UK team in my lifetime. 93 was another team that just completely demoralized opponents. Their tournament run up to the UM game was as impressive as any March run I’ve seen a UK team go on.

I really wanted Andre Riddick to get a ring. I loved watching that guy play, he had one sequence in the 95 SEC Championship (one of the best games ever) where he blocked Corliss Williamson 3 or 4 times on the same possession.
I would agree wholeheartedly. They were small but they knew how to play the game.1966
This was the best passing team in UK history. It could run the fast break to perfection and go the entire length of the court with only a dribble or two. Larry Conley was the heart of that team.
Mine would be the 1974-75 team.... It was UK's 1st Final Four team after I became a fan. They were a big, deep, physical team that wouldn't take any crap from no one. They had great shooters Kevin Grevey, Jimmy Dan Conner, Jack Givens. Strong, physical players, Rick Robey, Mike Phillips, Bob Guyette, James Lee, guards Conner, Mike Flynn, & Larry Johnson that wouldn't back down from a grizzly bear. Then add in the fact that they ruined Indiana's undefeated season in the Elite 8 that year. I remember after that game that a sportswriter from Chicago called that UK team the slaughterhouse 5.... Loved that team.
I have to say '92 hurt the most.All of them.

Hated to watch the seniors lose.1984
I adored that team, it was the most painful sports loss of my lifetime.

2002-2003 or 2014-2015. Or 1992-1993.
I would go with 2015, although the end hurt. That season was so exciting and UK was everywhere. Even the media had to aknowledge UK was a historical team. Plus we were crushing teams and no one wanted to play us. Even know the ending hurt, at least it was a Wisconsin and not a Duke, Kansas, UL, UNC.
I almost mentioned the '95 team. I remember the freeze in shooting in the second half. I was having flashbacks to '84. The '95 team was good and helped instill the hunger for '96.Hard to believe you’re the only one to mention 95 so far. That team was dominant & lost 4 regular season games by a total of 10 points.

No votes for 85-86, so I'll give them one. Sutton's only great team here was undersized, but tough as hell, and was led by one of our greatest ever, Kenny Walker. They could have easily won it all.

I like this list, (not necessarily the order) and to it would add 2010 (brought back the excitement after years of slow death) and 1986--Sky's senior year--loved the Hardin to Walker combo. Blanton became "Ricky F***ing Blanton" to me the day that team got knocked out of the tournament, and he will remain Ricky F**king Blanton to me until the day I depart this world.Definitely ‘92...’75 2nd....’93 3rd
