15 Greatest Moments/Games/Memories Of Calipari Era

[chroix]

This thread is the best, nice job all around.

Maybe not on the greatest moments list, but the come back win at Starkville this year was an especially sweet game for me.

I'd say "watchin the door" but it's really, "Cal being introduced as head coach".

I am giving this thread a high rating because of Darrell's work....not mine.

Wall blocking the Vandy player to insure the win after being faked out the previous trip.

Not dramatic but Cousins steal, drive from 3/4 court, behind the back dribble and dunk. loved and can still see it in my mind.

Teague setting the stage at the beginning of each game in the FF to make UL and KU honest and respect him, then letting his teammates take over from there.

Beating IU in Atlanta, huge win.

Being at Starkville twice and seeing the Cats steal victories from stansbury.

goggles up, love that symbol

This MUST be pinned to the top of the board.

Great Thread.......Little advice to Mick & Darrell....that bottle of 101 will make your heads hurt in the morning & I do remember that WELL.

Was it not cute how the national media all were so concerned we were pulling the plug on BCG too quickly, and that we should listen to their sage advice?

Maybe next time, guys.

My favorite all-time "in person" moment. Had the best seat ever for that shot, just behind the cheerleaders literally a few feet away under the basket. I have chill bumps reliving the moment.

I have no complaints with Darryl's list, but on my personal list I would have this moment a little higher just because I was there with my dad and it was such an electric moment to see live.

I'd also have to put beating IU in the Tourney run in there somewhere. Jorts going off on UofL in the chicken shack would get an honorable mention.

The put back against MSU in SEC tourney to go OT with Cousins popping up from under the scorers table with a bloody nose, Josh's entire senior year, and 4-0 against OTIS ain't hurting nothing either. Finally "THE BLOCK"

The "goosebump" thread.

Great lists and memories on here. For me, it's a much forgotten moment but the save by Terrance Jones towards end of title game at mid court when KU was making a run. This helped propel us to victory and is often overlooked.

The past week or so belongs on here, with the commitments and defeating Duke. Perhaps the whining from Arkansas belongs too
