| I remember Howard Wood and enjoyed his play at UT. Another old timer I enjoyed was Howard Bayne. |

Howard Wood, Reggie Johnson, Bert, Steve Ray, Gary Carter, Terry Crosby, etc. Whipped up on Kentucky thrice. | |

I absolutely loved those squads, especially Ellis. | |

I absolutely crumbled when we caved at the end against UVA in '83. Ellis was just incredible shutting down Ralph Sampson to absolutely nothing. But Brooks and Tyrone just clamed up at the free throw line at the end (after the game they said they were nervous wrecks shooting them). Probably the only game in 33 years of UT sports that I still lose sleep over. | |

Fun fact: Had UT beaten Louisville, they would have been in a regional that was played in Stokely Athletic Center. | |

My memory of the Louisville game is we were really never in that one. Lost by double digits I believe. I also remember that team as too Ellis centric. Support cast had thinned just too much. | |

Wish I could have experienced some games there. Didnt they have one of the longest home court winning streaks there? (could be wrong) | |

It only held 12,700 but you were a long way back on the last rows. The first 20 or so rows were removable to reveal an indoor track. Many indoor track meets where held there as well. | |
