There’s No Crying In Basketball...Is There?

The place was the SEC Basketball Tournament in March of 1984. The game is a punch counter punch event with the score tied at 49-49 inside Memorial Gymnasium in Music City.

Coach Joe B. Hall gathered the team during a timeout and drew up a play. He was confident it would work; he was also extremely confident in the player who would be taking the shot. As the team returned to the floor, the shoes squeaked on the hardwood, and the play unfolded. There was a pick, the Kentucky player came off the pick and caught the ball.
