After missing two 3-point attempts in the first half, Kentucky freshman Eric Bledsoe told coach John Calipari he had lost confidence in his shot. Calipari’s message, to Bledsoe’s surprise: Keep shooting, anyway. Bledsoe’s second half resurgence, along with yet another stellar performance by fellow freshman guard John Wall, helped No. 3 Kentucky fight off No. 12 Tennessee for a 73-62 victory Saturday night.
