Clinging to a two-point lead with five minutes remaining, it took good decision-making down the stretch for the Cats to earn a victory over Tennessee at Rupp Arena Tuesday night. Freshman forward Nerlens Noel blocked another UT shot (he had six for the game) and freshman guard Archie Goodwin came out of the pack to lead a UK fast break.
As Goodwin drove toward the basket, three Volunteer defenders collapsed.
Instead of forcing the action one-on-three, Goodwin kicked the ball to a wide-open graduate student guard Julius Mays.
