In a Sweet 16 game, Ohio got off to a quick lead and never let up, topping the Wildcats 85-69. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,401 Status: Offline     RE: Top Ten biggest Tourney upsets....    Posted: 3/17/2016 10:48:03 PM  Mike Johnson wrote: Going back a tad further in time - to 1964 - I wonder if there was a Vegas line on Ohio vs #4 Kentucky?

Was that not as big of an upset (seed wise) as I remember?

We were really clicking... And the steal by Cooper/fastbreak/no-look oop to Devo was the type of flashy play you expect to see from the favorite... Not the 14 seed. I've seen crazier things happen.

That was a beat down.

In a Sweet 16 game, Ohio got off to a quick lead and never let up, topping the Wildcats 85-69. I listened to this game on WHAS radio as it was not televised locally, and I remember legendary Kentucky play-by-play man, Cawood Ledford, at the end of the game thought it was the biggest upset in the history of basketball. With about two minutes left in the game he nearly fell out his chair when Coach Snyder put in the subs and it was clear OHIO was going to win. [Remember no shot clock and no three-point shots back then, so games were conceded a little earlier than they are today.] I will say that, as usual, Ledford was a real gentleman and gave OHIO credit for playing a great game. The elephant in the room was that OHIO's integrated team was playing UK's lily white team. This was not mentioned in the broadcast, but everyone knew that was a factor. It wasn't until about five years after this defeat that Rupp finally recruited his first black player.

I was legitimately flabbergasted by that performance.
