BIG SHOT SCOTTIE Thurman, in his second season as an Arkansas assistant coach after serving as the Razorbacks' director of student- athlete development, hit one of the most memorable shots in Walton Arena when he sunk an 18-foot jumper with 10.6 sec- onds left to lift the No. 9 Razorbacks past No. 5 Kentucky Jan. 25, 1995. The game was played on Super Bowl Sunday and nationally televised by CBS. "We always had some really good games with Kentucky, but being the prelude to the Super Bowl really fired our guys up," Richardson said. "That's one of the top game we played against Kentucky. "We played just well enough to win. They played lights out also. It was just a great battle between the two elite teams in the SEC. We put on a show for nation- al television." Arkansas beat No. 6 Kentucky 74-70 and No. 2 Auburn 104-88 in Walton Are- na within a five-day span in late Febru- ary 1999 to secure an NCAA Tourna- ment at-large bid. "That was a pretty emotional week, because it was a time where we knew what we had to do to make sure we got in the NCAA Tournament," said Pat Brad- ley, a senior guard for the Razorbacks during the 1998-99 season. "I mean, we knew we had to win those games. "That was the first time we beat Ken- tucky in my career, so I was drooling to get a shot at them. Then to beat Auburn on senior night made it even better." Bradley comes back to Walton Arena now to call games as an analyst for the SEC Network. "Bud Walton is just as nice now as when I played there," Bradley aid. "They certainly built that place to last. "It was built perfectly to hold the crowd noise. It really just rains down on the court." Walton Arena was especially noisy the night of Jan. 14, 2014, when Michael Qualls scored on a last-second dunk off a missed Ky Madden shot to beat No. 13 Kentucky 87-85 in overtime. 25 years v Continued from Page 6 See VENUE, Page 10
