With 1:22 left, Coach John Calipari clears his bench: Pierre Niles and Chance McGrady are coming in. The Tigers have had a long history of a much-beloved walk-on who rarely plays, but ignites the crowd when he does walk onto the court.

My favorite was John Williams, who played with Elliott Perry on those ’80s teams. When Williams scored that last basket against South Carolina in the old Mid-South Coliseum, everyone screamed and jumped. Including Perry and John McLaughlin. One of my best Tiger memories ever.
