WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. ARKANSAS (1994)
Posted: 11th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Arkansas, Rick Pitino, Tony Delk, Travis Ford, UK basketball, WGCGAAfter the emotional win over Florida, all Kentucky needed to do in order to win the SEC East and avoid Arkansas until the SEC Tournament Finals was win at South Carolina. Unfortunately, the Cats came out flat, and the Gamecocks burned UK with a backdoor cut in the final seconds to pull off the surprise [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. FLORIDA (1994)
Posted: 9th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Florida Gators, Rick Pitino, Tony Delk, UK basketball, Walter McCartyAfter the Tennessee game, out heroes exacted some revenge on Georgia with an 80-59 win in Lexington. This set up a huge rematch with Florida on Senior Night. I may have glossed over this earlier, but Kentucky had lost to Florida in January in what I like to call the ugliest basketball game ever played. [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. TENNESSEE (1994)
Posted: 7th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Jeff Sheppard, Rick Pitino, Tennessee, Tony Delk, UK basketball, Walter McCartyComing off of the Mardi Gras Miracle, Kentucky seemed to be rejuvenated. They went into inhospitable Memorial Gym and beat a Vanderbilt team that was fighting like mad to get off the bubble. The 77-69 win was not as close as the score indicated, and everybody thought that the Cats could carry the momentum of [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. LOUISVILLE (1993)
Posted: 2nd August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Louisville, Rick Pitino, Tony Delk, Travis Ford, UK basketballThe 1993-94 season brought a lot of question marks to the table. How would Kentucky replace Jamal Mashburn? How would Travis Ford play without another superstar to draw attention from him? Which of the sophomores would step up and become the next great player? Would any of the three newcomers (Anthony Epps, Walter McCarty & [...]
THE TEN BEST RUPP ARENA CROWDS I’VE EVER SEEN
Posted: 27th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Florida Gators, Louisville, Rick Pitino, Rupp Arena, Tubby Smith, UK basketballI have always had a somewhat mixed opinion of Rupp Arena. I think that the building and the crowd can energize a team and will that team to win like no other gym in college basketball, but at the same time, I’ve been to games where people are wearing red and yellow sweaters. What’s up [...]
Debunking A Myth: Top Teams Don't Have Down Years
Posted: 19th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Basketball, NCAA basketball, NCAA Championships, NCAA tournament, Rick Pitino, UK basketballI’m not really a big stats guy, but this morning I dived into stats, media guides and everything else to debunk a myth. You see, some dummy decided to comment on Seth’s UK/Duke 1998 WGCGA and echo another dummy who said UK was done as a top program. Yeah, those are mostly fearful comments, so [...]
Caracter Back To U of L? Doesn't Matter At All.
Posted: 17th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Basketball, Louisville, Matthew Pilgrim, Patrick Patterson, Rick Pitino, Scott Padgett, UK basketballI’m sure I could write a long winded post about how Rick Pitino is too big of a liar. Or how Derrick Caracter should never be allowed back on U of L’s team, if he makes all the qualifications by the 2009-2010 season. But to do the former would be whining about the obvious. To [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. UMASS!!! (1998)
Posted: 15th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Jamal Mashburn, John Pelphrey, Rick Pitino, WGCGAMy MS Word might explode on this one because I insist on using the term “UMASS!!!” every time when referring to the Massachusetts Minutemen. This was Kentucky’s opponent on that night, and it was the last game the Unforgettables ever won. Kentucky had played UMASS!!! earlier in the season in Lexington, and they won by [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. IOWA STATE (1992)
Posted: 12th July 2008 by Kenny Colston in Jamal Mashburn, John Pelphrey, Rick Pitino, WGCGANow that we’re done with 1998, I’ve started taking requests on Cats’ Pause, and once I finish with those three requests, I’ll take requests from both here and there for this series. The only conditions of the requests are that the game has to be from 1992 at the earliest, and it has to be [...]
