No. 8 – Walter McCarty Completes the Mardi Gras Miracle

Kentucky’s 31 point comeback in Baton Rouge to defeat LSU in 1994 is one of the greatest comebacks in sports history and one of the truly great moments in UK lore. Walter McCarty put the final dagger in Dale Brown‘s Tigers with this late corner three.

Walter McCarty averaged just 5.7 PPG during his Sophomore Season. This Kentucky team, led by Tony Delk (16.6 PPG) and Rodrick Rhodes (14.6 PPG) was defeated in the second round of the NCAA tournament to Marquette 75-63. Not an ideal finish for Kentucky Basketball, but this McCarty enshrined his place in Wildcat Basketball history with this shot.
