That is the worst ball handling I have ever seen. There were a couple of passes that were just thrown directly to a Louisville player without a deflection or another Kentucky player close.
Joe Hall should have inserted another ball handler when UofL went to the press in overtime. He should have had Beal, Minnifield, and Master as the ball handlers. Beal, Minnifield, Master, Hord, and Walker should have been the 5 for Kentucky. Louisville just beat them down the court. Joe Hall made a lot of personel mistakes and failed to reconize what Crum was doing before the game got out of hand.
No matter what uk fans want to proclaim, they will never know nor understand the magic in Cardinal Country or the class and poise of the Cardinal nor the fans!!!!!Also, No matter how many win's,Championships, or final 4's Ky has, they will always have that "bad taste" in their widdle mouth's!....For many years the world wondered who was the best, UofK or Uofl and in 1983 the world found out....... It was......The University of Louisville!........Enough said!
@mrbillykid2 You are the dreamer of the commonwealth lol. You all have one game to hang your hat on. Keep preaching that, and ill be in the present tense. They should take this off the internet. Cant believe scooter mcray blocked kenny "sky"walker. This was an awesome scenne and venue though. great game. good luck this year.
I am a Kentucky native and nothing annoys me more than UK fans. I absolutely love this. UK just got beat a superior team U of L. Its funny, in the state of Kentucky, you never hear about this, all you hear about is Big Blue Nation, where was is on this day Big Stool Nation.
I was there and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! What people don't realize is the fact that UofL has 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS and uk ONLY HAS 5 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. The NCAA title was not considered a NATIONAL TITLE the first 2 times that uk won them. REAL college basketball historian know that!
@OndrausCissell What are you smoking hook me up ? besides 80 & 86 what years did Louisville win the title. In my make believe world Kentucky has won 30 championships in a row GO CATS !!!!!!!!!!
@toddky32 that is why your world is called make believe and UofL won the NAIB and NIT and when UofL won them they were bigger than the NCAA tourny so that would make 4 titles for UofL
@zzremington UK states they are the most winning program in History, maybe so at this point since they play in a weak conference. UK could not handle the big East. ZZremington, how did you like this game. Who won when it matter, not Big Stool nation.
that was then, this is now....but i do agree Denny was a lot better coach than Joe B. was, lots of athletes, but played that slow down ball. Denny is a Hall of Fame Coach
I'll always believe that was our greatest team. The only problem was the force called Houston that got in the way. You'll never find a regional final with this kind of rivalry again. I still can't believe it took an NCAA tournament matchup for Kentucky to play us.
Last year's team couldn't hold a candle to 83's version of Louisville Cardinals. This team had NO WEAKNESSES. Far more athletic than 2008-09' squad; had one of best guard tandems in entire country (Milt Wagner & Lancaster Gordon); formidable frontcourt in the McCray Bros. & Charles Jones. It took one of the best, most athletic teams in the 20th century (Houston Cougars) to prevent them from winning it all.
Best Louisville team NOT to win a championship, but I will always remember beating UK in the 'Original' Dream Game. Ohhh.....the satisfaction; the memories.
So, if a shitty team beat you, then does that make you even shittier? Obviously you aren't always better than us, this video shows UL pounding you in OT. Didn't UL beat UK last season too? I know they did, what are you talking about? Didn't UK make NIT last season?
it was ridiculous the way UK refused to play Louisville. Joe Hall and Cliff Hagan didn't want the game. This humilating defeat to Louisville forced them to change their tune.
@kingadalou -shot clock was expirimental form the 1982-83 through the 1984-85 seasons Meaning it was used for the regular season but not the NCAA tournament. Full use came in 1985-86 for all games including the NCAA tournament. The tree point shot became used full time in 1986-87
That 1983 LOUISVILLE might have not won the championship, but however they might have won something more important they beat KENTUCKY to advance to the final four and restart a great rivalry.
Not many fouls in the overtime, what a lot of dunks in this overtime. This was kharma for JOE B. HALL for being a yellow of a man by not playing louisville.
Man! I forgot how bad the Cardinal Birds costume looked back then...sure glad they changed that, but I think there was a female doing the bird at this time and was too small for the suit.
The "Iceman"...what a game! I was a big time UK fan until this game. U of L grabbed my heart in this game and I have been true Red since then...Go Cards!
mrbillykid2...how can a human being smoke that much crack and still be alive? Delusional.
