Best of UK in the NCAA: Final Four Highlights

Throughout March Sadness, KSR will be bringing you highlights of Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament games from the past 30 years. Today, we will relive the joy and heartbreak of the semifinals.

1993: No. 1 Michigan 81, No. 1 Kentucky 78 (OT)

Saturday, April 3, 1993
