I was browsing BillionthUKFan's site, when I realized that there must be many games that would be great to watch, but just aren't discussed that often. I know to watch the championships, and the 92 duke game, but there are games I probably have forgotten, or I never knew about, in the different eras of UK basketball. If you you were to recommend a few games to a fellow fan, what would they be?
Thanks for any input.

Game wasn't very long ago, but I've rewatched the SEC tournament championship game from this last year a couple times.

If you can find it, the 1984 SEC Tourny Championship game. That was an awesome game pitting the famed twin towers of Sam Bowie and Mel Turpin against Charles Barkleys Auburn Tigers. I watched this game at my brothers house and it went down to the wire and Barkley was tough as nails! A definite must watch!!

The 2014 Sweet 16 games vs. Louisville. The last 5 minutes of that game were unreal. I still don't know how we came back and won that being down 7 with under 4 minutes to go. That was one of the most satisfying wins, other than Duke in '98 that I can remember.

I like watching replays of the beat-downs we gave UCLA and Kansas in 2014. And the final four run that year.

I know these two get mentioned all the time, but they're worth mentioning yet again.

The second half of the 94 game at LSU (ie. the Comeback) and the first half of the 96 game at LSU (ie. the Beatdown) cannot be watched too many times. Any Cat fan who has not re-watched those two halves should do so immediately.

Duke/Kentucky 1998. I can watch that one over and over again.
I've watched that one probably 15-20 times.
2011 vs Ohio State
1998 at Vanderbilt
1998 vs Stanford in the Final Four
1996 vs UMass in the Final Four
1995 vs Arkansas in the SEC tournament
1994 vs LSU
1991 and 1992 vs Indiana

Those are some my favorites to rewatch
And those are all of my other favorites. Mostly just the ending to the Vanderbilt game. That was classic. That Arkansas game was fantastic.

This is probably an odd one, since it was an early season game, but us beating UNCheat in 2011-2012 on Anthony Davis' block of a last-second shot is pretty awesome.

Why would you watch the 92 Duke game? I like to watch the 2012 Final Four game against little brothel.

Wait.... is everyone just ignoring that the OP said he likes to rewatch the 1992 Duke game? You couldn't pay me to watch that game again.

My favorite game to rewatch was mentioned above in passing, but the 1995 SEC Championship game is great to rewatch. Taking on the defending national champs and POY Corliss Williamson. Down multiple times during the game and even in OT. Rhodes missing the winning FTs in regulation and breaking down on the bench while Antoine Walker and Anthony Epps take over in OT. Such a fun game.

The second half of the Kansas game in the 2014/15 Champions Classic is fun to watch too. Kansas could not hit a shot to save their life.

Thank you guys for your input. I realized there must be all kinds of gems on his site that don't get mentioned in the modern era. Like when UK stopped IU from an undefeated season. Even games a few years old can quickly be forgotten with the next big game. A lot of people consider the 92 UK Duke game one of the best games ever played. But I do turn it off before the last shot. And thank goodness for BillionthUKFan!

This.
The birth of Little Brother.
Eddie Sutton may have been a drunk who got us on probation but we will always have him to thank for a most awesome nickname.
Plus watching Rob Lock drive the baseline for a dunk never gets old. And since Rex has rejoined the fold, it was his best game.
