This was the capper to the greatest Elite Eight in NCAA tournament history. Three all-time classics that went to overtime out of the four games and the fourth (UNC-Wisconsin) came right down to the wire as well.
I still say the 2005 tourney was the best one ever. Bucknell over Kansas, three Elite Eight games go to OT, including the Illini comeback against Zona, and this classic. Think about it, the Louisville came back from 20 down to beat West Virginia in OT and it was the THIRD best Elite Eight game that year! Crazy. Plus, UNC vs Illinois was one of the best Finals ever, coming down to the last seconds between the two best teams that year.
One of my favorite college games I've ever watched. Just the fact I kept telling my coworker that Michigan St. was going to make the Final Four that year and beating Duke & Kentucky over the weekend.
This was the last matchup between both teams. The last time Izzo and Calipari met was in 2008 (#1 Memphis vs. #5 Michigan State, Memphis defeated the Spartans 92-74 in Houston - South Region Sweet 16).
This Game broke My heart...I still often find Myself thinking about what "MIGHT HAVE BEEN" if Kelenna would have even TRIED to take a shot; MSU players were ALL over Him. ALL HE HAD TO DO was put up SOME KIND of shot. I guarantee the way this Game was being called by the Ref's all ticky-tack, that a 2 shot Foul would have been called...He hits ONE of them...History Re-Written. *sigh*...Pipe Dreams...
Honestly, screw the Laettner Game, (even though he SHOULD have been EJECTED before any of the rest of the BULLSHIT transpired) THIS GAME WAS RIGHT HERE gets the bile on the back of My neck bubbling! If we had made it past this team (MSU), on this particular Night, Kentucky would have DOMINATED the Final 4 Game & tne Championship.And after that bomb Sparks shot,too...Goddamnit, Man... ;_;

Thanks for posting the Patricks Sparks shot. Great game, I remember I was just 7 when watching this game.
one of the most exciting tourney games ever !
one of the best tournament games of the decade, back and forth - and then the drama at the end.
This was my FIRST full UK Game I ever watched...and 3:52 officially made me a Kentucky fan....
Respect to MSU from a UK fan
Sparks was fouled. Should've shot 1 for the win. 9 years later I still believe that and will never forget this classic game.

I can't wait till the game in November. It should be great.
Where is the clip of the one Kentucky player who missed his own 3, got his own board, and finished it with a dunk?
Still the best game ever.
@TheTySlashProject The uploader does mostly MSU highlights in all of his videos. Does great work though
Lol THIS is where they played the elite 8?
go to 3:50 for the legendary shot
Poor Tubster.
