Best of UK in the NCAA: Sweet 16 Highlights

Another weekend of March Sadness is upon us. To help you get through it, KSR is bringing you highlights of Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament games over the past 30 years. Today, we will relive the Sweet 16 memories.

1992: No. 2 Kentucky 87, No. 3 UMass 77

Rick Pitino and the Unforgettables beat John Calipari’s UMass Minutemen in the Sweet 16 to set up the greatest college basketball game of all time. The Cats jumped out to a 21-point lead early on, but UMass stormed back to cut that lead to two with less than six minutes left.
