On This Day in UK Basketball History

On February 15, 1954, Linville Puckett, against Mississippi State, connected on a 53′ 6″ shot.

 

On February 15, 1990, in what was described by many as one of the most exciting games ever played at Rupp Arena, Rick Pitino’s rag-tag first team with eight scholarship players and no one taller than 6-foot-7 — the same team that lost by 55 earlier in the season at Kansas — beat an LSU team with Shaquille O’Neal, fellow 7-footer Stanley Roberts and the sweet-shooting guard known then as Chris Jackson.

 

On February 15, 1994, trailing by 31 points with 15:34 remaining in the game at LSU, the Wildcats pull off a Mardi Gras miracle. Connecting on 11 three-pointers and outscoring the Bayou Bengals 62-27 during the final 15:34, UK storms back to a 99-95 victory – the greatest comeback in UK history.  Walter McCarty led UK with 23 points and it was his three-pointer from the deep left corner with 19 seconds left that put the Cats ahead to stay.
