... in 1993, your University of Kentucky Wildcats went into enemy territory and blasted Wake Forest in the Sweet 16 on their way to the Final Four. The Cats came out on fire hitting their first eight 3-pointers, led by Jamal Mashburn's 5-5. The lead at halftime was 60-26. Travis Ford helped out by hitting five 3-pointers and going 10-11 from the field on the day. The final tally was 103-69. Ford, Mashburn, and Jared Prickett would all be named to the All Region team. This was one of the most overwhelming performances I remember from the Pitino Era, topped off by a 3 from Todd Svoboda to end the game. If the hair on the back of your neck didnt stand up during this clip, I can't help you.

1993 was probably the 2nd best team we fielded in our recent history. Don't forget the 101-40 beat down we put on Alan Huston and the Vols earlier in the SEC tournament. Man... How did we end up getting beat by the sorry, cheating Fab 5 in the Final 4 that year?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Dale Brown get hurt in the Michigan game? If so, that's why.
ReplyDeleteWas '93 the year the SECT was at Rupp and it snowed so bad for the championship game? I remember going with a certain BBB contributor and chanting "Warm up the Bus!" after just a few minutes into the game.
