... in 1999, the mini-dynasty game at Rupp Arena between 1996 and 1998 ended in a 132-132 tie, because in today's society, there are no losers! Derek Anderson corralled everyone he could to come play the game for his foundation and the UK Basketball Museum. Nazr Mohammed led the 1998 squad dropping 51 points on the '96ers. Allen Edwards added 28, Heshimu Evans 21, and Scott Padgett 13. The '96ers were led by Waltah McCahtee with 31, Derek Anderson's 25, Ron Mercer's 24, and Tony Delk's 23. It was a showcase game for Big Blue Nation with a slew of Kentucky greats being honored at halftime. Ralph Beard, Joe B, Wah Wah Jones, Vernon Hatton, Adrian Smith, Derek Hord and more. The official attendance for the game was 18,437.......IN THE MIDDLE OF FREAKING JULY!
