Kentucky 1996 SEC Tournament.
Arguably Cincinnati or Connecticut that year is bigger.
But this game was bigger imo for 2 reasons. 1. It gave us the SEC Tournament Title over a team many consider the greatest Kentucky team of all time. 2. It gave us the confidence we needed to make our Final Four Run .

That’s not a shabby win. You literally had to be a Final Four team to beat the ‘96 Cats.

That Connecticut win in '96 was our biggest win. They had Ray Allen and were expected to play Kentucky for the title.
I always contend that if Princeton would not have upset UCLA in the first round, we wouldn't have made it to that game. We didn't match up well at all with UCLA (defending champs) and we played like shite against VCU and won.
Princeton's upset allowed us to move into the Sweet 16 round and we caught fire that weekend. No one in the country would have beaten us that night at Rupp Arena. Cincy two days later was no threat.
