"We Ask You Wednesday" Vol. 51

The season is sadly now over, and the folks here at KSR love getting your input on things… relevant and bizarre. We have to get a little creative around here sometimes. Last summer I started a weekly series called “We Ask You Wednesdays,” that brought in some great responses from many readers via Twitter.

Each week, the question will change and we will hit on a variety of topics, mostly UK-related… but you never know. Each week the best responses will make it on to the website.  This week’s twenty ninth volume of the “We Ask You Wednesday” allowed Kentucky fans to answer the following question via Twitter in 140 characters or less:  IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND RE-LIVE ANY KENTUCKY BASKETBALL GAME FROM THE CALIPARI ERA (SAME GAME, SAME RESULT), WHICH GAME WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?

The game itself wasn’t necessarily the most thrilling as far as big moments, but the celebration after certainly was…

@RoushKSR @AllyTuckerKSR it’s gotta be winning the title, no?

@AllyTuckerKSR Hard to beat the 2012 national championship game. “The Kentucky Coronation is Complete!” Chills every time.

– Chris Sanders (@chrissanders88) July 1, 2015

@AllyTuckerKSR the championship game again and again and again. Reliving the “team” 1st sacrifices.

I think any of what I call the “Aaron Harrison stretch of games” are worthy of consideration… Louisville, Michigan, Wisconsin (2014)

@AllyTuckerKSR Toss up between 2014 Michigan and Wisconsin tourney games…never felt so elated! #WeAskYouWednesday

@AllyTuckerKSR Michigan game in ’14 tourney. Group of obnoxious Michigan students sat behind me. Amazing feeling after Aaron hit the shot

I’m glad someone brought up the 2010 SEC tourney game. The DeMarcus Cousins tip-in was an instant classic…

@AllyTuckerKSR tough- U of L, Michigan, Wisconsin games of 2014. But that Mississippi St. game in 2010 for the SEC tourney. AMAZING.

@AllyTuckerKSR SEC Championship game against Miss St in 2010. Sat 1 row from top w/ my dad & went nuts when Boogie tipped ball in. Cried.

– Kindsey Leroux (@kbernhardKSR) July 1, 2015

@AllyTuckerKSR outcome of that Miss St game was awesome. And just a great glimpse of how fun Cal’s teams would always be!!

Still laughing about this one. 7 points at half. SEVEN POINTS AT HALF! (And that UCLA team had some draft picks)

@AllyTuckerKSR UCLA in Chicago. Ass-beatings don’t get much better and YOU KNOW YOU WOULD TOO!

Awww. 

@AllyTuckerKSR UK-IU in Sweet 16 2012. IU fans were convinced they were pulling the upset, ATL was sweetly all #BBN by the end of the game

– Joey Rudder (@BBNontheFly) July 1, 2015

 

You brought it up! So there ya go.

@AllyTuckerKSR wish somebody would’ve brought up the 2010 regular season matchup vs u of l when jorts went for a career high

– Ethan Sartin (@Ye_Swell_Bamf) July 1, 2015

Notre Dame was one of the most exciting games of this year’s tourney run. 

@AllyTuckerKSR that’s a tough question. Probably Wisconsin 2014, or Notre Dame 2015.

Wichita State/Kentucky was just such a high quality basketball game. 

@AllyTuckerKSR @MrsTylerKSR other than title win, the W against Shockers. Storyline and hype. Plus WSU grad here.

– Josh (@shopcartchaos) July 1, 2015

Always a good day when you knock lil bro out of the tourney. 

@AllyTuckerKSR (other than championship game) UK vs UofL sweet 16 game. Sweetest win over little brother ever.

– Kristen (@Kristenn_2) July 1, 2015

@AllyTuckerKSR @MrsTylerKSR Aaron’s late 3 to send UofL home in the tourney. There will never be a ride home from Indy sweeter than that one

The “we’re baaaaack” UNC game was great…

@AllyTuckerKSR UNC Cal’a first year. Those plays by John wall, the crowd, and knowing that we were back.

– Alex Priar (@A_Priar94) July 1, 2015

 

The block heard round the Bluegrass. I wasn’t there but I’ve heard Rupp Arena has never been so loud…

@AllyTuckerKSR UK-UNC 2012. The elation of that Davis block was absurd. I loved that game

– Pierce Larkin (@pierce_larkin) July 1, 2015

 

Between Jorts and Brandon Knight’s shot…that game still gives me chills…

@AllyTuckerKSR 2011 east region semis. No one gave us a chance against Ohio state. Jorts displayed heart and superb dodgeball skills.

– Kyle Craig (@kcraig430) July 1, 2015

 

@AllyTuckerKSR Ohio State in 2011. Close the whole way with an awesome ending.

MOST UNDERRATED GAME OF THE CAL ERA:

I know it was only Miami of Ohio, but I was there and that finish was wild. I wonder how differently that first half of the season feels if we drop that game? We would have never experienced the “Hello Mr. President, this DeMarcus Cousins” moment. 

@AllyTuckerKSR first game of 09-10 season vs Miami (OH). Wall hits game winning shot. This was my first UK basketball game I attended
