One of the biggest wins in U of L history. I was in 1st grade at the time and after it was over I just knew U of L was going to win the national title. Memphis St. never really recovered from this game that year and lost in the 2nd round. I believe the Courier-Journal had a poll when U of L played its last game at Freedom Hall and this game was voted the #1 moment in Freedom Hall history.
How cool . . . I got tickets to the Metro Conference Tournament and watched this game live in Freedom Hall. But it's great to have a replay and re-live the great memories from that super season!
I was too young to have remembered this game, but I knew about it. Just watched the ending for the first time and, I must say, it sure looked like Andre Turner got all ball on Milt Wagner on that final play.
i bet a memphis st fan $500 at McDonalds on Bardstown Rd next to The Toy Tiger ! Back then is was 15 and that was the spot to be in the early to mid 80s ! Showcase Cinemas ,Bashford Manor Mall, Toy Tiger .Wow yalk about great times anyway that Memphis St. fan never showed up to pay the 15 year old UofL fan ( me!) his money ! This game put us on a collision coarse with the National Championship that we would claim vs Duke another Blue and White victim for the Cards!
As a life-long MEMPHIS fan ( I was nine-going-on-ten when this game was played… ) I miss these days of a classic rivalry game where BOTH teams respected each other and their style of play
Great game, forgot how good this Memphis St. team was, they easily could have made a National title run too. Clutch free throws by Milt, add these to the 2 he hit to seal the deal in the title game and 'Ice' suits him perfectly.
One individual that U of L just really missed that should have been the one to replace today Chrome it would have turned out a lot differently for us I guarantee it cuz he was definitely one of the best recruiters ever to hit the college game that was Wade Houston! Wade recruited young men for Louisville very athletic Louisville was never the same that way Houston if we would have had him and his boy we would have also had Rex Chapman he was real good friends with Allan Houston however it did not play out that way bummer deal
Bad camera angle. I couldn't see if the trail man got him across the arm or if he got all ball, but they had Wagner in no man's land in that right corner.
This wasn’t the conference tourney. In the Metro conference finals, Louisville was losing and Coach Crum decided to foul. Problem was Memphis St couldn’t hit free throws, just like in the finals against Kansas in 2008. HahaaaaaI hated Keith Lee the way he played against Louisville. That year MEMPHIS ST got placed on probation
I’ve been a Tigers fan since 72...he fouled him. Hit him on the wrist. We should have made the free throws before then. Game would have been over. It was a good call.
Louisville was a masterpiece kind of team in 86
one of the greatest rivalries in sports history!
I wish they’d renew this rivalry!

MILT WAGNER-GREATEST CLUTCH FREETHROW SHOOTER EVER !!!
Baby boomer EVER!!!

I remember seeing this game. I went crazy after the win

That Louisville PA guy was the best....5 starters from Memphisss Tennesseee.........this was a great game....I miss the Memphis-Louisville rivalry.
John Tong.....was one of the best in the business.
Yeah, he was awesome...always loved it when the Tigers played at Freedom Hall...

Attendance for the 1986 Metro Conference basketball Championship Game was a standing room only crowd of 19,452 fans.
Keith Lee was like Kenyon Martin i couldnt wait for him to graduate i thought they were 6year seniors i thought for sure i would hear KL name! lol
All ball Andre Turner the Block That 😎!!!

As a Louisville fan,Memphis was loaded with great players. Good times
My Dad calls them "Memphis St." to this day.
Always Memphis State!
That was ALL BALL! Shouldn’t have been a foul called on Turner!!!
Said who? Turner?
Hahaha Jerry West must have liked what he seen even if he couldn’t hear. Drafted Thompson and a year latter signed Wagner
Awesome!!!

They went to the Final Four in 1985. Lost to G Town

Memphis St starting five all from Memphis
I still call them Memphis state. That 2005 cusa tournament game where they missed the free throws to beat UofL was my favorite.
Wow! I'm glad UofL won, but that was a clean block at the end.
Go 🐶🐶🐕❤❤❤❤❤cards Denny and family ❤️😭💖😘💗😭💖💖
Milt "Ice" Wagner.
That last play was a bail out by the refs. That is why the Kentucky fans called this place Cheatem Hall.
Imagine that. A U.K. Fan talking about bail out calls.
Allan Taylor...no. He fouled Wagner.
Bad camera angle. I couldn't see if the trail man got him across the arm or if he got all ball, but they had Wagner in no man's land in that right corner.
UK does nothing but cheat, always has, always will.
This was not metro conference tournament championship game this was last game of the season....
Whatever happened to U of L?
The camden connection put camden n.j. on the map for good things other than the city itself lol

Well my talk-to-text does not work correctly or I speak Kentucky in LOL that should have been Crum not Chrome
My Dad does it because he hates Memphis. "They'll always be Memphis St. to me," he says.
Crums bums vs Kirk's jerks. The good old days.
The we turned it into Rupp Arena west years later.
That was not a clean block....you can see clearly he slapped Milt all over the wrist as he was shooting.
I can’t believe they called a foul on Andre turn he get all ball referees yells fuck
You talk about hatred....here it is!!!!
What year did Keith Lee graduate from Memphis St. ?
85
@@dietrichnicholson6569 that’s when his 4 year eligibility ran out lol
Eligibility or graduate? We all know what went down with him.
Refs stole this game from Memphis. 1 second and they call that a foul. Horrific call!
Terrence Harris Andre Turner pulled milts left arm behind his head. Easy foul call.
Terrence Harris he fouled Wagner. Not make the call?
Turner swiped all ball as he as flying by. Physically impossible to pull his arm behind his head as the video clearly shows.
I’ve been a Tigers fan since 72...he fouled him. Hit him on the wrist. We should have made the free throws before then. Game would have been over. It was a good call.
I didn't thumbs down this,but I hate Louisville to this day.
dolphinated .. I don't like Memphis State.
Awful officiating
Memphis got robbed
How?
Memphis got put on probation shortly
