The Southeast Regional semifinal between 1996 Kentucky and 1995 UCLA has been a tight one to say the least. The favored Wildcats stormed out of the gates before UCLA settled down and got the O’Bannon brothers going. Kentucky’s star guard Tony Delk missed most of the latter part of the second half with foul trouble, and the Bruins have taken advantage. However, the Wildcats lead 42-41 at the break thanks to an athletic block and dunk off a steal by Ron Mercer in the final seconds of the first half.
