Throughout March Sadness, KSR will be bringing you highlights of Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament games from the past 30 years. Today, we will relive the joy and heartbreak of the semifinals.
1993: No. 1 Michigan 81, No. 1 Kentucky 78 (OT)
Saturday, April 3, 1993
Kentucky had won all four of its tournament games by 20-plus points and scored 96 or more in three of them. This was the Cats’ first Final Four since 1984, a feat even more impressive when you consider the program was only a few years removed from NCAA sanctions.
