U N PA R A L L E L E D T R A D I T I O N 1995-96 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS KENTUCKY 76, SYRACUSE 67 April 1, 1996 • East Rutherford, N.J. Tony Delk tied a championship game record with seven three-pointers and the Wildcats withstood a late Orangemen rally to win UK’s sixth national title before a capacity crowd of 19,229 in the Continental Airlines Arena at the Meadowlands. Delk, the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, canned seven of 12 three-pointers to lead the Cats with 24 points. But after Syracuse had cut the lead to two, 64-62, with 4:46 remaining, a Delk misfire was tipped in by Walter McCarty to extend UK’s lead to four. After holding the Orangemen on the next possession, Derek Anderson drained a three to push the lead to seven. SU would get no closer than five in the final minutes. Delk was joined on the Final Four All- Tournament team by freshman Ron Mercer, who was sensational off the bench, scoring a careerhigh 20 points on 8-12 shooting from the field, including 3-4 from three-point range.
