If you could have 1 game that you could change the outcome of what would it be? Doesn't have to be a UK game. I mean any game at all, game you played in, high school that you went to in the finals of the state. Anything. Mine would be 1986 basketball regional semi finals. Probably would have lost to the regional winners anyway but would have liked to have found out.
ONE game
- Thread starter Logan Sackett
- Start date
'75 title game takes one away from UCLA and gives one to UK. Count would be 10 to 9 if you go that way.
But yeah, beat Wisconsin and get a chance to do the damn thing.

Personally: District tournament game against Shelby County...a long damn time ago.
UK: The '97 national championship game against Arizona. It would've been awesome to have won three in a row.

1994 sectional finals. That shot goes down, and it's me banging the head cheerleader instead of being the one watching through the windows of the back of the station wagon.....

Clinch Mountain Sackett, eh? You boys are known to be a little rough around the edges...
If this is a real story, it is criminal to be so witholding.
1984 Final Four - remove the lid on the 2nd half basket...
Personally, Regional finals in high school. Lost in OT. Would have went to state and got to play in Rupp.
UK wise, mine is the '66 title game. Rupp's Runts were so beloved and greatly overachieved. Plus if UK wins that game, this nonsense of UK and Rupp being racist never is an issue promoted by Frank Deford. Plus gives Rupp 5 titles and UK 9 currently.

I understand the three peat logic, but I think 40-0 would have surpassed even that. I pick Wisconsin.
Arizona 97. Wisconsin was rough but it only would put us in the final. Kind of a bird in the hand thing.
Agreed...it has to be a title game and since the question is posed to me, I would need to be alive so it is either '97 or '14.
I am leaning '97 because I think Cal would have been gone if we won in '14.
Hell, who knows, maybe Pitino wouldn't have left if we won in '97 too...you really don't know.
He would have then had 2 titles which would have equaled K at the time (edit). It could have stoked his ego and led him to staying.
Mind Blown

Wisconsin sounds like a good answer but you know good and well they wouldn't let us win against Duke in the title game. It would be a huge story with Coach K being the one to stop 40-0 from happening.
I would choose a title game loss to guarantee us a championship. Of those I probably would take 2014. That team deserved to win it with that murderer's row they were given to only end up getting screwed playing a cheating program like UConn with garbage calls by the refs.

1966 game against Duke
The 1992 game against Duke
The Butler / Duke game in the finals. If Gordon Haywards shot had gone in it would easily eclipse the Lattener shot for most famous moment ever.

in my version of the hypothetical situation we beat Duke so it would. [roll]
I’ll go non-UK since all the best answers are taken.
Vikings/Saints 2009 NFC title game
Favre was my favorite QB and my dad has been a huge Vikings fan since the 60’s. Always hoped he’d get to see them win a super bowl... or at least play in one that wasn’t 30+ years ago.
