Which UK buzzer beater was the worst?

I got over 2004 fairly quick because that team went on to have an amazing year.
I’m kinda over tonight already for whatever reason. It sucks but I don’t feel as devastated by it as the others.
I am still fuming 14 years later about 2010. Like to this day maybe the maddest I’ve ever been over an MSU sporting event. I was in Disney world following on my phone and literally chucked it halfway across Epcot when I saw what happened.

2010. I still hear Jay Bilias mention Stansbury’s decision to foul and put “a great offensive rebounding team on the line”.
Well it sure helps your offensive rebounding when the mother of all lane violations gets totally ignored.
2010 , I so angry and despondent post game, walking the streets of Nashville.
Still sticks with me.

In the 2010 game, we were 6-11 from the line. So maybe don't put it all on the lane violation and subsequent offensive rebound.
In retrospect 2004 might be the worst because if they win that game and the rest of season plays out the way it did they might have been a #1 seed in the tournament.
2010 was the absolute worst I’ve ever felt after a loss in any sport. It still pisses me off 14 years later. UK had two different players committing lane violations on the free throw. John Wall came from outside the three point line and was standing in the middle of the lane when the ball came off the rim. And he’s the one who got the rebound. Absolute robbery. If I remember correctly, Stans got a fine from the SEC for saying that Mississippi State had gotten used to bending over and taking it from the league and referees.
Agreed. UK was a 1-seed in spite of not winning the SEC, due to stronger RPI and tougher SOS. We are no doubt a 1-seed with that win, we don’t play red hot Xavier in the 2nd round, etc. That loss ended up being pretty devestating.
I just remember that the 2010 NCAA tournament had more called lane violations than I had ever seen. "Point of emphasis" I'm sure.
Last night's game might be the only UK loss where I'm not outraged at the officiating.
