In 1986-87, Louisville was defending its second-ever national championship behind star center Pervis Ellison. By late December, it was clearly not going to be a fun season.
The Cardinals entered their showdown with 18th-ranked Kentucky at an ugly 3-5, and it only got uglier from there at Freedom Hall.
Wildcats freshman Rex Chapman, an expert at the then-novel three-point shot, torched Louisville’s zone for 26 points in a game that was all but over by halftime. The final score: 85-51, the worst loss of Denny Crum’s Hall of Fame career.
