We had to run a decent gauntlet that season in the tourney too.
2015 had some great wins too
#5 KU (by 32 Freaking Points)
#6 Texas
#21 North Carolina
#20 WVU
#8 Notre Dame
And then of course lost to #3 Whisky.
Man, that 40-0 would've never have been topped. EVER.
I feel like either the 2011 or 2014 teams hands down had the best tournament wins. 2011 wasn't expected to go that far and we Just kept winning. So that was def fun year in the end.
Also 14 was good, but we we struggled once again in the reg season and it was just not a fun season. It seemed to just drag on and on and so didn't expect much good to happen in March, but it's always good to be wrong and I'm glad I was. We turned it on come tournament time. So I have to go with those years. Doing it with Jorts made it extra special and more fun. And also getting revenge on Louisville made it sweet in 2014.
Also, all those big games from 2011 set up the 2012 chip because of that experience they gained from playing deep into the tourney.
5. December 3, 2001: (1) UK 73 --- (5) North Carolina 72. At least the Tarheels players were making good grades though.
4. March 23, 2012: (1) UK 102 --- (16) Indiana 90
3. March 25, 2012: (1) UK 82 --- (9) Baylor 70
2. March 10, 2012: (1) UK 74 --- (22) Florida 71. This was UK's third win in a single season against a ranked Florida team. UK also beat Florida when Florida ranked 8th and 16th.
1. April 2, 2012: (1) UK 67 --- (6) Kansas 59
Six would be the first Kansas game, and the two Louisville wins would follow. I feel bad about including Louisville because UK fans always expect UK to beat them, so a W against U6 isn't that big of a deal.
