Absolutely! Incredible finish. I just remember Phil Williams and Calvin Idol on WIMZ the next morning laughing and endlessly ribbing Pitino for not expecting it.

The audio in that video is hilarious. The announcers are talking about how Tennessee had the game won but let is slip away.

Kind of like Spencer Tillman on CBS halftime vs. Georgia 2004 "No way Tennessee wins this game."

Yes, I remember. Unfortunately, I also remember what happened a few weeks later, too. Ahh, the Wade years. Allan was right, Daddy got screwed.

Oh yeah, I remember it well. (We have discussed this on here before) I was there with my family (I was 13 years old). My aunt is a UT alumni and got us some sweet seats, right in the middle of a sea of orange of course. It was my first UK road game ever. After the game UT fans proceeded to throw beer cans (some half full) at us on the sidewalk as we walked back to the car. For a few years I wasn't sure I wanted to go to any more away games. lol

However, I do not begrudge the throwing of the beer cans, because it was the biggest win arguably of the schools history at that point. Drunk rednecks love to throw beer cans when they celebrate, it doesn't matter what state it is. The problem is more about WHY someone would throw beer cans with beer still in them, its a waste. Must have been Coors light.

Also, looking back on it, that was one of the most poorly officiated sequence of plays I have ever seen in my life. (I'm not arguing this point, and I won't respond to any suggestion that I'm wrong. It was horrible. lol)

However, I do not begrudge that either due to the follow up massacre in the SEC tourney.

All in all, It was a great game to be a part of in TBA, I can tell ya that.

I didnt go to many basketball games while I was at UT but I definitely remember that one. My roommate was a huge UK fan and talked me into going. We rushed the floor and I remember looking up in the stands and my roommate was standing there all alone in total shock with his blue hat on. Thats the one and only memory of UT basketball that I have from my entire college career. I guess thats why most refer to it as a football school? ha

Classless post. Coors light is an insult to the wielder as much as the one getting pelted. Throw a higher quality of beer at your rivals, don't embarrass us.

At least upgrade to something respectable, like Keystone.

Any team that feels like it needs to resort to committing an intentional foul with a three-point lead against a team as bad as we were deserves to lose.

I remember being disgusted with Pitino, then laughing my tail off when it bit him in the butt.

Until those games that Gillispie lost to Gardner-Webb and some other nondescript team, this game had to be the most embarrassing loss for Kentucky basketball in the last 20 years.

Well it also makes the fact that Gillispie owned us during this time even more embarrassing IMHO.

I was at that game and it was my all-time favorite one. Even though Mashburn got away with a walk on the previous play and Houston didn't even get the rebound on his miss, the whole way home on the postgame show and for the next week, Pitino cried and whined about Houston crossing the free throw line before the shot hit the rim. He's a great coach, but every time Kentucky would lose, he would blame the refs! Every time! He didn't even have time that week to brag about how we wears Armani suits for whining about the refs!

The next day, SportsCenter showed highlights of the game and called UT "Fort Knoxville," saying we had won something like 17 of the last 21 games against Kentucky in Knoxville. Good times.

I remember that game well. I was in the pep band at the time, and back then, our seats were right behind the basket where it happenned. That game was awesome! And that night, the blizzard of '93 hit. I remember joking that hell must have frozen over for us to pull out that win.
