Kentucky vs Tennessee (On time)

On This Day In UK Basketball History

On February 11, 1987, Kentucky defeated Tennessee 91-84 in overtime.  Kentucky was down 10 points to Don DeVoe’s Volunteers with 1:13 left in Rupp Arena when the Wildcats unleashed a ferocious rally. Rex Chapman hit a running 12-footer over 6-foot-11 UT center Doug Roth with three seconds left to force overtime —where UK won before 23,002 fans.  One of the all-time miracle comebacks in Kentucky basketball history.
