No. 6 – Tayshaun From The Logo Versus the Tar Heels

No player in Kentucky history ever got into “the zone” like Tayshaun Prince did against North Carolina in December 2001.  He connected on five straight three’s to open the game. The last one was just half a step in front of the UK logo at mid-court. It drove the Rupp Arena crowd into a frenzy. That was the ultimate heat-check ever for the Big Blue.

Tayshaun Prince went on to play 19 season in the NBA. Prince was drafted in the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons. He was a fan favorite during his time in Lexington. The Compton, California native finished his prep career as the state’s Mr. Basketball as well as the nod as a McDonald’s All American. Prince finished his career at Kentucky earning numerous all-SEC honors and SEC player of the year in 2001.
