Bowie caught that lob above the square!
To me its the most phenomenal play in UK basketball history.
First, Bowie contests the LSU shot then turns and out runs ever player down court.
Then Dirk lobs the ball perfectly even though he is 50 feet away from the basket.
Bowie uses all of his 7’1 frame and leaping ability to go up and get the ball that was 13 feet in the air and then in one motion turns with it suspended in the air and rams it home with both hands!

I was watching it live on TV at 14 yrs old.
Still gives me “Goose” bumps every time I watch it like it did that day back in 1981!

There is absolutely nothing like Ky basketball!

Nothing!!!

Yup right there with you. I watched live, was 15 almost 16. That play the Dirk's Dunk on Ole Miss was my 2 favorite plays for that group of guys in Rupp. I was in section 217 IIRC. Could not wait to get home to see replay on news that night.
