I’m pretty sure the loudest moment ever in Rupp Arena was in the late 70’s when playing Duke, Kentucky came back from an 8 point deficit in the last 90 seconds to win by 1 point. It was so deafening, I was screaming at the top of my lungs and couldn’t hear my own voice.
I was at the 2012 Anthony Davis vs. UNC and let me tell you when Henson got the ball and went up the whole arena collectively stopped breathing he was open and when Davis got that block I lost my voice and my ear drums at the same time i won't ever forget that game and moment not ever
Loudest i personally ever heard it was vs Tennessee when they came in at #1 in the nation. We beat the dog piss out of them. PJ Washington was killin Grant Williams
I was there (and a student) when we WHOOPED ole shucks Roy and Kansas...sweet revenge. But the loudest was clearly Pitino's Bombinos beating a ranked LSU with Shaq
God dayum whoever Miller caught that ooop on against St Johns was like nuh-uh not me lol. I applaud whoever that was. Cuz Darius Caught it and yammmed on the student section and their cousins in the county, even out to the boonies and the lord himself come up out of his chair for that. Swear it was like it was anointed to watch it unfold. That team was ill asf
Think there’s a few more you could add: -Jodie Meeks steal and dunk vs Florida 07 -Heshimu Evans reverse dunk vs Maryland 98 -Rajon Rondo steal and immediate timeout vs Kansas 05 with about 4:30 to go
I was there for 4 or 5 of these, i believe. Monk game winner vs Georgia, Quickley on fire vs Florida, when Tennessee came in at #1, when Kansas came in and beat us last year (which I believe is the only game in the video that we went on to lose.. and it was LOUD)
Yes. UK has a losing record at Chapel Hill. Their last win in NC was 2002. 2013 was the last game in NC. Since then the games have been played at neutral sites as part of the CBS Sports Classic or the NCAA tournament.
Thank you so much for this compilation! Watching it has me fully stoked for a new season and the new era of UK hoops. Go Big Blue!
The Dirk Minnifield dunk still amazes me!!

Great moment! But that was kansas actually
I love them all. but Teyshaun's 5th three was the loudest moment in ANY sporting event, ever. Complete, deafening, insanity.

Thank you for everything you do. Amazing channel!
Some of the greatest icons I’ve seen in that place! The Eagles, Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Guns N Roses. Best arena in the United States!
Giving you a sin forvthe Gillespie appearance 😂
UNLV during Tarkington's time was the loudest in-person game I have been to.
1:19 I was there for that comeback. Grady was on fire. Cats were down by 12 at one point.
Glory days. Man I miss them
memories something nobody can't take away from us -->#GOBIGBLUENATION 💪💯👆
Is the dirk dunk the UK goat?
The Kentucky Maryland 1998 game was super electric.
Loudest i personally ever heard it was vs Tennessee when they came in at #1 in the nation. We beat the dog piss out of them. PJ Washington was killin Grant Williams

If I can round out enough for a Part 2 I will!

Tayshaun was a Human highlight reel.
Did Kentucky ever play in Chapel Hill?
Yes. UK has a losing record at Chapel Hill. Their last win in NC was 2002. 2013 was the last game in NC. Since then the games have been played at neutral sites as part of the CBS Sports Classic or the NCAA tournament.
Hoping you'd update this.
Rule #1 of every offseason (football or basketball) is to update everything lol
Lot of women here upset that they lost to Kansas state.. again!
