Kentucky in the 8 seasons from 92-99..7 elite 8s, 4 final 4s, 3 finals and 2 titles..what a run.

[@jamesgordon3494]

This game was one of the best memories of my childhood.

Kentucky = Greatest Men’s CBB program of all time.

The sound of all those UK fans after Mills and then Padgett hit those 3’s. It doesn’t get any better than that.

[@Michael-mt1zq]

Man I was in tears after this. My wife looks at me and says you don’t shed one tear when your kids were born but you’ll cry over this lol.

22 years later and I still get nervous!

I’ll go to my grave saying the ‘96 cats was the best college team of all time. But the ‘98 team will ALWAYS be my favorite team. I smashed my tv remote during this game..... I literally cried after this game I was so happy

Think about Big Z. Came to UK as a 300-pound freshman. Shed almost another human being. Played JV-ball for a year. By the end of his junior, he embarks on a 17-year career in the NBA. Not bad for a high school player not ranked in the Top 100.

wHaT iS hE dOiNg?!? Give Wojo the award for best flopjob.

Coach K got outcoached so badly here... Tubby really really really underrated on the sideline... If he could recruit like Cal, they would have won like 4 or 5 when he was there.

[@ashleypotter4625]

You gotta love the '98 team. Beating UCLA by 30, making the comeback and getting the revenge on dUKe, beating the best team in Stanford history, and then taking down the hot Utah team for the title. But we paid for it...we had to endure 3 more years of Saul Smith playing 30-35 minutes per game. I'd love to know UK's +/- while Saul was on the floor in '98? In my opinion every minute he played as a freshman was mins we didn't have Mills on the floor draining 3's. But somehow they played great and won the title. And beating dUKe in a Regional Final made it that much sweeter. This team bought Tubby over a decade being the head man at UK. Tubby was a pretty good coach, but he just couldn't recruit. Which is the most important thing in college basketball. His best class was the Randolph Morris, Joe Crawford, Ramel Bradley, & Rondo class. But that class was a bust other than Rondo. Tubby came close to another Final Four a couple times with Patrick Sparks hitting the 3 vs Michigan St, ran into Dwayne Wade in '03, etc. But we never tasted that glory again with Tubby.

Billy Packer sounds like a Duke fan this entire game.

[@sports3117]

This great game is highly underrated

[@tfajsh]

The 90s! What a decade to have experienced!

[@davidgauselman4510]

I loved this Wildcats team growing up. The 96 team was ridiculously stacked but they didn't have the heart this 98 team did. Shepard, Turner, Padgett, and my fave all time Wildcat Cameron Mills, he was always there to score a 3 when we needed it. Also loved Evans.

[@richardburchett]

The Comeback Cats in my favorite college basketball game of all time.

Crazy I grew up a Duke fan and I’m now going to be a Kentucky student

[@randystalker4093]

Mills would dominate today's game. Shot was pure. Thanks for staying at UK buddy!
