"You see Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, SGQ , Fox, killing it in the NBA"

6:00 mark (there are others of Herro in this video as well):

Biggest game in the country, tomorrow afternoon in Tuscon.

What's going on? You're backing your ass up to a glory hole?

[Jungle Rat]

He means KC.

[eCat]

they don't want these problems!

that's a great line for talking shit

[Dave23]

LOL, Sharpe wants none of that smoke…

Notice he didn’t address Stephen Adams…

[eCat]

well, maybe he a little smoke from Ja Morants sunglasses in the arena wearing dad

[Dave23]

And why is Sharpe wearing a bathroom rug to a Lakers game?

[eCat]

clearly he is very comfortable with his fashion choices

[DooKSucks]

Stephen Adams would have prevailed versus Sharpe to say the least, but I’ll take Sharpe over Brooks and Morant.

I'd love to know the backstory on that last video...

[eCat]

I have no idea how good Texas A&M is but they have a good record and a pretty good coach

I would not be surprised to see a UK loss centered around Cal's insistence to give Savhir Wheeler & Lance Ware significant minutes

Okay the ending of that U-of-A game, almost gave everyone I was watching it with, a heart attack. We got the win and we needed it because we weren't catching UCLA in conference play if they go up 9-0. So we had to win this game for Las Vegas ranking. But letting the Bruins back in with 2 min left on the clock, it was excruciating.

I wish you hadn't put "almost" in that sentence...

someone put together the top 5 loudest moments in Rupp arena clip - very subjective, but 3 of the top 5 were against UNC. Louisville wasn't in it.

If they made a top 5 clip for UNC, I'm sure 4 of 5 would be against Duke.

Loudest moments I’ve witnessed:

1992 Heels upset #1 dook as Laettner misses last shot
1993 Lynch steal & dunk to complete 21 point comeback vs FSU
1997 Heels comeback from 9 down to beat State under 3 minutes to play
1998 Vince’s almost greatest dunk of all time off the backboard in our annihilation of dook
2005 Heels comeback from 9 points down with 3 minutes to play to beat dook. Marvin’s rebound and score blew the roof off the Dome

I’m getting old, but those moments stick out to me. The Dome was rockin’ in our big comeback vs UK the night we took over the all time wins lead in 1990. Neither of us will likely reclaim that lead from Kansas.

eCat — Very few SEC moments for UK tells you y’all belong in the ACC. Except the ACC is dying now.

[eCat]

I think people forget the early years of Rupp Arena with Kyle Macy/Goose Givens/Sam Bowie.

but one of the loudest I remember is the payback game with Kansas the year after they beat us like 125-90 and didn't let off the gas

SEC basketball is not exciting, its a slog

I've been standing near a flight line with F-15's and KC-10's taking off one after the other, and that wasn't as loud as it was when Marvin hit the outback against Dook in 2005.

I was sitting in my uncle's old seats in 211. The upper deck shook. You could feel it vibrating, and when you watch the game, you can tell the upper deck was shaking because the picture is shaking as a result of the cameras being on platforms attached to the upper deck.

I didn't attend the other games you listed in person, largely because I am too young to have done so, but I can tell you this: the final 5:30 of the 1998 Dook game was as close to basketball perfection as anyone will ever see. Dook had talent galore and narrowed the Carolina lead to 4 (73-69), and Carolina outscored Dook by 20 over a 5:30 stretch during crunch time. It was amazing to watch.
