Julius Mays couldn’t have asked for better way for it to end. He stepped to the line to shoot two free throws with less than 10 seconds left in his regular-season home career. With Kentucky leading by two, he had a chance to all but salt away a victory in matchup with Florida called UK’s “one-game season.”
For anyone who has watched him during his season as a Wildcat, the result should come as no surprise. “Uncle Julius” stepped up, received a pass from the referee, wiped his hands on the soles of his shoes and calmly got the job done in a 61-57 victory.
“I had a lot of big moments in my college career, but that one was probably my biggest one because we needed that win more than we needed anything to keep our hopes alive,” Mays said.
