In 1986-87, Louisville was defending its second-ever national championship behind star center Pervis Ellison. By late December, it was clearly not going to be a fun season.
The Cardinals entered their showdown with 18th-ranked Kentucky at an ugly 3-5, and it only got uglier from there at Freedom Hall.
Wildcats freshman Rex Chapman, an expert at the then-novel three-point shot, torched Louisville’s zone for 26 points in a game that was all but over by halftime. The final score: 85-51, the worst loss of Denny Crum’s Hall of Fame career.

Interesting at the end when Musburger is surprised by the handshakes between the team. We assume that always happened but it was until the very late-80s that it became commonplace.
Brent had a busy couple of days. This game was played on Saturday and then the next day he was in Washington D.C. for the NFC Wild Card game between the Rams and the Redskins.
And for your useless fact of the day...
Yep excuses. Kentucky was by far the better team
Still remember that game.
Gotta admit, it was so sweet, after they had won the national title just a few months before, to come to their home floor and utterly destroy them by 34 points😋
Stop it.
King rex buddy. Rex Chapman was the MJ of college ball back then.
Remebwe the season kn orobation we had to listen to the games on radio?
