Kentucky vs. Wichita State: 2014 NCAA tournament | FULL GAME 

Anybody else binge watching because of no march madness this year?😂

Man this brings back memories, I miss the Harrison twins

This was an unfair matchup to be a second-round game. This was two Final Four contenders thrown together early because of really bad seeding, but it sure made for a classic game!

energy in this game was so crazy ... easily the best game of the tournament that year and a huge heartbreaker bc i loved that WS squad ... Cleanthony is just a monster

I remember watching this game live and when it was finished I said this is one of the top 5 NCAA games I’ve ever seen that still stands to this day heartbreaking loss for the Shockers! They went toe to toe with Goliath and didn’t flinch!

Really wish James Young would have stayed at Kentucky. Dude was so clutch here

Thanks for making these games available on YT. We NCAA basketball fanatics appreciate it!

Us being a 8 seed that year was a blessing in disguise

Just like Greg Anthony said, "this felt like a heavyweight battle".

For my money, the best game of the entire 2014 tournament. Like watching a heavyweight fight with both fighters immediately giving right back just as good as they'd just taken all game long. Whether you were a Kentucky fan or not, there's no denying their run to the title game defeating Louisville, Michigan, & Wisconsin all in nail biters were also among some of the tournament's best games. But this game from the opening tip seemed to have a really special kind of aura surrounding it for both teams. It's just a shame this game was played in the round of 32 instead of as a regional final or a Final Four type game, because that's what it really seemed like to me anyway.

Little did we know Van Vleet would be huge for the Raptors in a Finals win against the Warriors and go undrafted.

One of the best games I've seen in my life

I remember being soooo upset when the bracket came out and these two were lined up for the round of 32. A Kentucky fan but man did I love that WS squad as a basketball fan. In hindsight the game we got was worth it

What a game. So many highlights. Cleanthony Early looked like a future star here

This should have been a Final 4 or NC game, but the selection committee is just bad.

This was one of the best games ever for Kentucky Basketball 🏀💙 Go Big Blue Forever 🏀💙

Good for this channel! Great job getting these games.

Aaron Harrison & Julius Randle were BIG for Kentucky’s first two tourney games

Every time Wichita needed a 3 they drained it this game. I remember thinking without a doubt that Wichita would hit that shot at the end

The commentator - "There isn't a better decision maker in America, than Fred Vanvleet!"

I was at this game. Super exciting the whole way. Felt for the shocker fans. Great group of fans. Really nice people.

I feel really bad shockers fans. Kentucky was very underseeded

Kentucky Sports Radio reminded me of this game today. Glad I watched again

The felt like a Final Four game.

That was such a great game!

I literally just watched this Saturday.

This game was played with an intensity that you just don’t see on the first weekend. A legitimate Final Four caliber matchup that was neck and neck the entire way.

38:50 *Hype play of the game for Early & WSU!*

upload Villanova vs UW-Milwaukee, no game footage anywhere on youtube so it would be cool to watch it

What a game. It was honestly an unfair matchup for Wichita going against one of the best 8-seeds of all-time, and everybody knew it. 2 amazing teams that happened to meet in the round of 32. Early could not be stopped. Ron Baker with 20 points and Van Vleet (who is making $43M/yr today, holy moly) some big assists and steals. But this Kentucky team was extremely well balanced despite really only being 7-deep. The Harrison twins came up huge in this one and the team made clutch FT's down the stretch. Julius Randle was and still is an absolute bull of a player. I didn't plan on watching this tonight but I watched the whole thing haha.

7 years ago and crazy how long the shorts was.

That was a great game 🏀

Should have been at least an elite 8 game

Such a great game

UK got reffed in the final. Walker looked like Barry Sanders carrying the ball every time he touched it. Didnt get called one time for it.

Great win for my boys Kentucky basketball

The committee should get the electric chair for seeding Kentucky as an 8 that year

Tough night for VanFleet (4 pts, 0-4 from 3) and Wessel (0 pts in 3 minutes). Those two were usually very dependable and fun to watch in the tourney but sadly not this night. WSU gets even a solid night from either of them and they probably win this game.

Love this game I really hope they post Stanford vs Kansas that was one of my favorite upsets

Who would of thought FVV would later become an NBA champion and All Star

It’s crazy up until this tournament, Ron baker was the better player out of him and van vleet.....but when their Jr season started van vleet really took being a floor general to another level

Fred van veleet is a NBA champion

I miss going to the final four

Watch the final play, the side line out of bounds. Cleanthony Early was going to be wide open for a lob at the rim, but Marshall drew up a play for him to fade back out for some reason. Had the play been for Early to cut hard to the rim, they likely would've tied the game and gone to OT. I was rooting for UK as I picked them in my bracket here, but re-watching this, UK was extremely luck that Marshall drew the play the way he did.

Big blue baby

Why Kentucky was the #8 seed in Wichita State's bracket (my thoughts)? 1. Kentucky by region was less than 200 miles away from Indianapolis (Midwest Region) 2. Wichita St played one SEC team during their 34-0 season (Tennessee) and by coincidence, the selection committee could match up teams with opponents from a conference they faced in non-conference play. 3. In the preseason, a lot of people were obsessively focused on Kentucky's size, athleticism and individual talent to where some thought they could dominate the regular season on that alone. Since Wichita St went undefeated, the committee added a wrinkle in their bracket to see if they could handle a tall and strong team such as UK. 4. In 2012, Wichita St was the #5 seed in Kentucky's bracket (South Region) and sometimes the committee depending on seeding could make some matchups happen sooner or later than in past brackets.

if we had focused and played this hard all season this team would’ve been way better. we would’ve been a juggernaut and would’ve likely won the whole thing. guess it’s easier to play hard when your draft stocks are on the line 🙃

Can we get the full of Georgia State-Baylor from 2015? Today is the 5 year anniversary, and Panther fans would love it.

Can we please get the final four game between wisonsin and UK from this year (we already have part 2)

Kentucky soared their way toward a National Championship game appearance

Ironically, UK started 35-0 the vey next year

I love my Kentucky wildcats go big blue

The fleet feet of Fred VanVleet #thedutchdestroyer

Shocked the world

Really believe a healthy WCS would’ve been the difference in beating UConn for #9

Man what is Calipari offense doing the last 8 min. There is no structure or system. Relying on his players to bail him out. When it comes to these x and o he get outcoached

Noticed Gonzaga as an 8 seed then..... Seems about right these days.....🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Fred Vanvleet!!!

Not a big upset, actually the better team won

2014 shockers... 2019 Raptors .. 2022 Raptors!!!

Whita State vs. Kentucky this is an interesting contest 🤔 😳 👀 👍 an upset could happen !!!

Possibly my favorite UK game. UK was a #1 or #2 seed level team, but because of their struggles in the regular season, they got the #8 seed. Kind of felt bad for Wichita State, they got the short end of the stick having to play this UK team in the second round. This game is the epitome of the saying "Just get to the tournament"

me living in wichita crying...

Awful seeding. Kentucky being an 8 was atrocious. 2014 Wichita State is not a second round out kind of a team

We beat a undefeated team then went undefeated in 2015 still did not win but made it farther then wichita

Wildcats vs Shookers

Bad seeding this should of been elite 8 at least

back when Cal could coach

I remember this game very clearly the committee did Wichita dirty in this matchup they didn't believe they were a number 1 seed smh

I really wanted Wichita to win :( they got a terrible draw here

Jim Nance hates Kentucky

I remember when this Kentucky team was supposed to be the best freshman class ever lol. Only one still in the NBA is Julius Randle.

go cats

コールビーおるやん

Going to be fun watching Ky in the NCAA tournament. Ohh, Corona virus, Never mind.

Harrison twins zero.. Fred van vleet 100 million

Re watching this years later, I never realized how much of a wuss Baker was 😂

Is anyone surprised Kentucky won ? 🤔

35 seconds was an eternity

cotton cleanyhiney early

how tf wichita go 35-0 🤣

Kentucky got so many controversial fouls that went their way. Refs were pulling hard for Kentucky in this game.

WIchita State was highly overrated lol!! Ron baker is sorry 😂😭😂😭
