Edgar Sosa delivers the final dagger into the hearts of the University of Kentucky's fans. UK had rallied to tie the game in final seconds but hope turned into a bitter drink when Sosa delivered a 30' final word.
i have never been more excited and happy for this kid, prior to this game he was playing so poorly i felt sorry for him, but this is just the confidence he needs. way to go edgar, GO CARDS!!!
I was there for this one. Cringed, because he had been on a 3 point drought and my heart sank when he shot from 4 feet behind the arc. I went oh no, no, no....to yes, yes, yes! Got a selfie with the scoreboard in the background. Nice!
It was a lucky shot. If he missed it, then UL fans would have been calling for his head. I'll give credit where credit is due. He hit a tough shot and won the game for UL. Congrats.
sosa has the potential to be one of the best cause we have seen wat he can do. I think after that game really is goin to boost his confidence, i think he is goin back to his freshman year
As a UK fan that shot hurt ;( but give it to sosa that was a great shot! I hate to admit it but UK lucked out to even be in that opportunity! Can't wait till next year ;)
I wish RU-vid had a "LOVE" button for me to click on this video, because I can't watch it enough. Real easy for Wildcat fans to get on here and be salty about the Shot Heard 'Round the Commonwealth (as I like to call it). Just know that for every one of you Wildcats commenting on a great UofL moment, we get just a little bit more satisfaction out of your misery. One of my Top 3 moments as a Cardinal fan.
Oh btw i really hope all the injury issues get better with you guys if they are not already. Obviously that haven't hurt you guys to bad considering your still unbeaten lol but i just want a fair match come new years eve. I want both teams playing at full potential.
Yeah, it will make this season's game much better. VMI was hitting threes, not 26 ft though. But argueing isn't getting us anywhere, we both have our opinions. We're only argueing cause we're both good fans to our teams.
@Sinkfield77 The UK Basketball program is older than UofL's, but the University of Louisville itself was established in 1798. The University of Kentucky was established in the mid 1800s around the end of The Civil War.
does anybody else wonder why kentucky fans stalk louisville videos? is it because they are truly louisville fans at heart or is it just because they are not loyal to their team at all and support their rival?
You OWN Louisville so bad that you are looking at basketball videos AFTER the FIRST game of the football season? Can you say NO BOWL in 6 years? Can you say LONGEST losing streak in the football series with Louisville since the teams started playing? Can you say Kentucky has been out scored in the second half of its last two football games by a total of 58-0. Can you say that LOUISVILLE and SOUTHERN MISS (a Conference USA team), are responsible for THAT stat? I think "own" is a far cry from the truth, especially since Louisville is dusting UK in pretty much all other sports. You may have a winning streak going on in basketball right now but considering the talent that you have had since Cal got there, you only have ONE championship to show for it. ONE. Louisville has the same amount in that time span with LESS talent. Remember: 38-1. :P
+Junkman2000 you can bash My team all you want but we do own the bluegrass state and I came here to see a classic game I enjoy football I wish we were good lol not gonna happen though but look at the series in every sport we lead in almost all of them against UL I do remember 38-1 it was a great season!
+Junkman2000 you guys will beat us in football again wow amazing right? I'm not disrespecting Louisville Bc they're a great program but we do indeed own Louisville in every serious in sports so yeah. At least I don't need hookers to recruit
+Jordan Simpson Whoa, where are you getting this data about leading in EVERY sport??? Care to post that data along with your SOURCE? I'll sit back and wait for this. It's gonna be guuuud! As for hookers, Lexington doesn't have any hookers worth looking at. That's why you all use heavy envelopes! LOL! So where's this data???
I'm a huge UK fan, UK alum, but my hat goes off to Sosa on that scud missile. The boy had to have had ice in his veins to take such a ballsy shot. That said, I hope the Cats kick off their Yum! Center debut tomorrow by frying up their own birds. The Colonel would approve. GO BIG BLUE!
I see us being very good for a very long time. Calipari came Kentucky to coach at. Not exactly umass or memphis is it? Look at the recruits he was able to get at those schools. He is by far one of the best recruiting coaches in the nation. What kind of recruits do you see him getting in the future here at UK?
Edgar Sosa suffered a Horrible Carrer ending injury the other day. You think his carrer is over? It sucks because hes dominican and im dominican i always wanted to see him play but when i found out about him the college basketball season was coming to an end. I hope he can recover quick & make it to the NBA soon so i can watch him play.
Good win for UL I bleed blue but live in Louisville and always hope UL does good. Mainly because I rather UK face a tough opponent then to blow a team out by 40. UK and UL rivalry is 100X better than Duke vs UNC. Although i'm looking forward to when UL is actually a challenge again. Us cat's like to play with our food before we eat it. It's no fun if we don't have to chase it a little, bat it around some and seek our teeth in for the kill.
for a very young ky team uk play very good so ky fans dont let your head down on this game its makes uk look pretty good.ul to beat uk with a 3 with 4 sec left..so ul fans u can not say ky sucks it was one of the best games ky and lou play this yr
@Junkman2000 oh i completely agree although i will say that with the enviornment last night in Bloomington along with the way they were playing IU could've beat anyone in the country and i mean anyone, it was insane. That is still no excuse but it is what it is. I feel way more comfortable in Rupp for obvious reasons. Homecourt, crowd etc. but i dont know the last time i have looked forward this much to the UK UL game due to both programs being back to national prominence. Gonna be a good one!
yeah, that's true about knight as well. i'm also a hoosier fan ya know. my dad, my borther and i are from louisville, but my mom is from bloomington. and as much as i can't stand sampson, i still had alot of fun watching the hoosiers last year and i was really a big fan of eric gordon.
@Junkman2000 Agreed. Need the McCrays in there, Milt, Roger Burkman, Dr. Dunkenstein himself, Never Nervous Pervis...oh and Clifford Rozier and LA Smith for good measure. We need a little guy who can "climb Mount Everest," as Al McGuire once put it after LA Smith literally dunked over a guy much taller than he. I wouldn't mind seeing Alvin Sims or DeJuan Wheat in there either.
Did you see the final four game that just happened? I love loisville but russ smith take stupid shots and speeds down the court so fast that he loses the ball. We were just that Hancock was there to save us
Loserville? Did you come up with that all by yourself? That's so original! Tylenol, Advil, Excedrin or Aleve for your headache after coming up with that whopper?
@Junkman2000 The way ur school has been having injury issues, I'm not for sure if Louisville will even have a team by the time they come to Rupp. Thats not a knock on them, just stating that they are having a run of bad luck this season with injuries.
thant's right junkman, and we are now 2-0 in the big east so far, i don't think uofl fans are cocky a much as we are pissed off at uk fans for never giving credit where credit is due, and as far as i'm concered you guys did a great job keeping the game as close as it was. but i just have one question.... DO YOU MISS TUBBY NOW?! if i were you i'd be ashamed of ratting him out as his gophers walked all over louisville and don't tell me that you diddn't rat him out, he left. that is just not true.
So far in the 2000's UK dominated the first half and UL the second. so there, we are even. however, UK dominated the 50's, 60's, and 70's as well. we were better in the nineties overall also with two championships, a runner up, and 4 final 4 appearances. UL was pretty good in the nineties too, but only in the early nineties. UK has the most wins, most faithful crowd (its actually a fact), and 2'nd most championships as well. but next year will be a heck of a game.
Louisville has the potential to go all the way this year, and i think kentucky can make a decent run. but look out for them boys from baton rouge, they could trip you up in the SEC.
@Junkman2000 And also i wouldnt talk too badly about the sec cause you guys got vandy coming to ul this year and they are a very talented/veteran squad.
vmi not a bad team there 14-2 cats had alot of work to get things right and there still working on it alot of young players. i live in lou but im ky fan 4life best bb team ever.hope lou wins pitt game tho
it was on a radio show where callers ask questions, long and forgotten by now. but he did say it. look, i am a huge cardinl fan, and always have been, always will be. but i really don't care for patino as a person much, he is a great motivator a great recruit and a great coach, and that's to his credit. but he is not a good person. a close friend of mine met him twice.
its based off the fact that he shoots 22% this season from beyond the arc. porter play better defense? so if porter plays up on him, he drives and gets a higher percentage shot, compared to a 25 footer that he would make 2 out of 10 times.
i bet you diddn't know this but chapman was a huge uofl fan growing up. he even said he wanted to go to uofl. i wonder if kentucky paid him?? i'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, it just seems kinda odd.
One of the worst defeats ever suffered by UL on their home court came at the hands of UK by 35 points. Why can't you just be happy with the win. Sosa got lucky with the shot. Accept it...you were scared and nervous. You were hoping and praying that the game would not go into OT.
