January 2010 against #1 Kansas. Greatest basketball game I have ever attended. I sat right behind the student section when McBee hit that shot and it was the loudest I have ever heard a crowd yell and I went to the UK vs. UNC game last year.

Don't recall the year, but Chris Jackson and Shaq were in town. I was in the finals of a University 3 point competition at halftime. I was ridiculously nervous and missed the first shot by about 3 feet to a chorus of boos.

I holds a lot of good memories.
Very impressive.

Probably 91-92? eh wish I was old enough to remember when Shaq played at LSU but I was only 5 or 6 at the time.

I am pretty sure the first game my dad took me to, or at least the first I remember was the 1999 Kentucky game.

I may have seen some games in the Alan Houston era, I'm not sure but i was too young to remember it if so.

I'm too young for Stokely, but my dad went to a ton of games there. He says the atmosphere was incredible. The small building and low roof made it extremely loud. He says he remembers seeing the goals shaking from the noise at a Kentucky game one year.

How about you start showing up when we play Kentucky here and at Rupp. If you can overcome that slophouse up there I will pay for you to sit next to the court. But lose once and you are forever a sham and Im revoking the ticket for myself. lulz

That was the day after my dad's funeral. Friends grabbed me and we headed out. It was greatly needed.

'07 MTSU game. JaJuan went off and we beat them by 69, which is funny because my old roommate said, "I hope we beat them by 70!" as I was heading to TBA.
