Video Vault Classic: Fitch’s 3 buries UNC in 2004

by @ 12:00 pm. Filed under Video Vault

One of the cool things about doing these videos recently is people have given me ideas for looking up highlights of games and performances that I had forgotten.  Gerald Fitch in 2004 against 9th ranked UNC was one such highlight.  Enjoy.

    I was there live for this one with my best friend. The 3 absolutely brought the roof off of Rupp. Arguably the best live game I’ve been to to date.

  2. thebigjra Says:

    awesome thanks BTI. I was on the front row of the eRupption zone, what a great memory.

  3. thebigjra Says:

    that’s me at 3:32 fist pumping behind Ravi Moss

  4. BPsycho Says:

    IDC what anyone says Chuck Hayes was *explicative* awesome. We should have had NC’s during the Fitch/Daniels/Hawk days :(

  5. Band Of BlueCats Says:

    I remember the Moss layup off the pass from Cote made me jump up and fist pump several times.

  6. GhostofMarkPope Says:

    I saw Mohammed twittered that he was watching BTI’s 98 NC run video montage

  7. The Real Gimel Says:

    I didn’t realize the eRupption Zone was around in 2004

  8. thebigjra Says:

    #8- yeah the eRupption zone was first introduced in the 2002-2003 season, which was my freshman year at UK. It was largely unpopular with students at first at the ticket lotteries for some reason (seats in the lowers preferred), so my freshman year it was really easy to get tickets. We used to get to games only about 2 hours before hand and get front row. I was actually the first student ever in the eRupption zone for a game, I believe it was an exhibition game against Athletes in Action where Bogans hit a buzzer-beater to win. For this UNC game in January 2004, though, the e-zone was considerably more popular, and we got to the arena around 5:30am for the game (at noon I believe) to get front row.

    Damn, this gets me fired up! I can’t wait to hear our crowd and jump all over those Chapel Hill elitists this year!!! GO CATS!!!!

    Did anyone else watch the lunar landing below and wonder WTF the camera guys were that were already on the moon hiding behind the rocks? seriously?

    I want to see the highlights of a game I went to in 2002. Florida at Kentucky Saturday, March 2 2002. http://bigbluehistory.net/bb/statistics/Games/20020302Florida.html

    “Fitch, a sophomore guard, was back in action for the first time since Feb. 16. He had missed the last three games due to a series of disciplinary matters, but responded with 10 points, four rebounds and two assists off the bench against the Gators.

    None of his shots were bigger than the go-ahead 3-pointer. Coming out of a timeout, Kentucky opted to use Prince as a decoy and set up a play for Fitch to curl around a screen by center Marquis Estill on the left wing. The Cats ran the play to perfection as Fitch broke free from Orien Greene and buried the shot to put UK ahead 68-67. “

  12. MIDDAY Says:

    I was at this game. Good memory. thx

  13. Kicker Says:

    Maybe you could submit these under a new category “video vault” instead of blue blooded opinions so we can find these easier later on.

  14. Hockadaddy Says:

    You should post the highlight from this game:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v60TvRSWw2w

    Azubuike got so NASTY with that obne handed put back slam. I was at this game and I remember this as the game that Azubuike really game out. He hadnt been used all that much throughout the season, and only played 11 minutes this game but look at this stat line (and the final score hahahahaha):

    http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Games/20030305Vanderbilt.html

    Please post the highlights from this game so i can see how we scored the 104 OTHER points. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. high and mighty Says:

    15. those highlights were posted just a couple days ago.

  16. mattcat68 Says:

    Good highlights for a couple of reasons. 1) It was a great shot by Fitch. 2) 2004 was the last time UK beat the Heels.

  17. 3 fan Says:

    Buike was a beast. Of all of Tubby’s screwup’s, his complete inability to use Buike to the point Buike felt better in the NBDL is the worst.

  18. terwilliger Says:

    I was at this game with my ex-girlfriend. One of the most memorable games I have attended!

  19. ukfan_n_cali Says:

    was that a Bernard Cote sighting??? wow some of passes by Cliff were amazing, I guess I forgot how great a passer he really was…

  20. slappy Says:

    I mean, you gotta love Ravi Moss.

  21. UK_Mafia Says:

    We should had been a Final Four Team that year.

  22. nathanrossnewman Says:

    Bryan, can we please pull out the video when Erik Daniels makes a layup to beat Miss St with like 3 seconds on the clock? I remember having confidence even being down 1 point with 3 seconds that we were going to win that game. Sure enough Hayes misses a layup and Daniels is there to put it in! I can’t remember when that took place. Anybody help me out?

  23. lexslamman Says:

    I want to see the Nazr Mohammed miracle flip-shot against Vandy in Nashville. I believe it happened in the 96-97 season.

  24. Vote For Nader Says:

    23) I don’t know where a video of just that highlight is, but I do remember it taking place in January of ’04.

  25. Bluecat7 Says:

    The Erik Daniels lay-up was great for another reason because we were leading most of that game. Towards the end, it looked like we were dead meat. But sure enough, we found a way to win. That game was awesome. Kentucky at Florida in 2003 and 2004 were great games too. Very great games.

  26. themoo Says:

    Seeing these highlight vids posted the past few days has made me physically ill at the way BCG had the team playing. Heaven forbid there is spacing, more than one 3-point shooter to guard, etc.

  27. bigbaldy Says:

    Love that clip. What about the two dunks against Georgia Tech in the ’96 champ season? DA’s windmill and the pass off the glass to McCarty? I’ll never forget that game.

  28. pete Says:

    did anybody else notice we had 20 points at halftime of that game? Twenty f@!?ing points!! So glad those days are over

  29. greg09 Says:

    cliff is such a great passer thats amazing

  30. TOMPAV83 Says:

    That was one of the games I will remember forever. I took a friend of mine who’d never been to a UK game before. We were in upper level but still had such a perfect angle for that shot. It felt like an eternity for it to go in, but it looked good the whole way.

  31. tyleryoungjj Says:

    fitch probably shouldn’t have taken that shot
