Up first: Kentucky-Syracuse 1996. Will prohibitive favorite Kentucky outlast Cinderella? I’m not giving away the ending, but this is must viewing for members of the #BBN.

Preppers know when cash has no value you need a little precious metal to get by on. Kentucky vs Duke 1978 is a gem featuring a golden Goose who shot down the Devils.

Thanks for the fix

I noticed Dick Enberg mentions that the officials were letting the teams play, but it it was a much cleaner game than we see today.

No pandemic video collection is complete without a few zombie videos. In 1998 the Cats Come Back from the dead not once, not twice, but three times.

Thanks fellas! I haven’t been watching any basketball videos as it reminds me too much about what is missing. But i another week I’m sure I’ll need a fix and this will be the cure.

[UKHistory]

Well done Keith.

Thanks, Keith!

Thought this thread would be instructions on how to clear a field of fire to defend against people coming for your vast store of toilet paper, but this is still good. :)

I just finished watching this classic. Officiating was much better in this game than it was in the UConn games in the 2011 and 2014 Final Fours, by far.

Enjoyed rewatching the 2012 IU S16 tourney game. Had the good fortune to see that one live so it’s great to revisit that experience.

That is a very nice addition!

That is a very nice addition!

It’s especially sweet to see us send Clappy and that bunch home!

Maybe my favorite UK game ever. I have some memories of the 1984 team, but this was the first real “Final 4” team that I followed as I was at UK at the time.

That game and the WF one prior to that were two of the most dominant back-to-back performances I can recall in the tourney - just came out and absolutely destroyed them both.

Edit: well my memory certainly failed me on the FSU game. After a quick perusal it was a tied game with about 8:00 to go 1st half. Might’ve been thinking of the Utah game prior to Wake. It was notable, and a reminder of Rhodes’ promise out of HS, when Maguire opined (paraphrasing) he could exceed Mashburn’s accomplishments at UK.

2011 east regional semi final against Ohio St.
Harrellson did a great job defending Sullinger all game long

2011 regional finals vs sheep U. I worried all the way to the 20 second mark about who would win.

The Kentucky spurt early in the second half put the Cats up by a safe margin, and FSU never seemed to be able to get back into the game after that. What a rebound eating machine Prickett could be! Need a guy like that next season.

Kentucky v undefeated Wichita State, 2014.

He really was a nice fit on that squad and had a great game against FSU.

With all of use sequestered like the cardinals trying to elect a pope, and the multiple individual threads about specific games, I thought a single thread with links to your favorites games might make selections of what to watch easier. My first offering is UK vs Duke in the 1998 regionals (aka the "WHAT IS MAGLORE DOING" rant by Billy Packer game)

ENJOY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VhsXKRmKfU)

This isn't a game, but it may be one of my favorite videos ever as it so perfectly encapsulates what sports can mean to all of us. You don't have to be watching the game to know exactly what is happening. Be sure to have the volume up because the brief instance of almost total silence before...well, just watch!

2011 UNC-CH at Rupp (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJSWkAZul_E&list=PLtdOKenZmcJaqjSHbe911r9nxxpIIyGPB&index=38&t=0s)

Had to chuckles that at the 10:00 mark of the first half, Clark Kellogg comments on UNC-CH monitoring social media. Too bad they didn't monitor their pseudo classes, or maybe they didn't feel they needed to, or perhaps an education was less important than what was posted on Facebook

[KeithKSR]

I pinned this thread to make it easy to access. It looks like it is going to be a long haul.

[Darrell KSR]

Unsticking this in the hope that we're starting anew now and better things coming.
