"LSU starts off on fire, they go up by 31 Points in the 2nd half. The LSU goes stone cold and Kentucky lights it up. It was one of those comback for the ages."

Kentucky Coach Rick Pitino knew it was the best comeback he had ever seen. It was even better than that.
Pitino's 11th-ranked Wildcats pulled off the greatest comeback in college history, rallying from a 31-point deficit Tuesday night to beat Louisiana State, 99-95, In Baton Rouge, La.
That broke a record set on Dec. 30, 1950, when Duke rallied from a 56-27 halftime deficit to beat Tulane, 74-72.

College basketball--The Associated Press reported erroneously Tuesday that Kentucky pulled off the greatest comeback in college basketball history, trailing LSU by 31 points before winning, 99-95. The report was based on an incorrect entry in the NCAA Record Book. Research by Duke officials showed that Tulane led Duke by 32 points before losing a game in 1950.
