The Bulls nearly choked away a 14-point lead against the Blazers on Tuesday night, but Andrew Goudelock scored all five of the team's points in overtime and SummerBulls did what SummerBulls do, staying unbeaten by defeating SummerBlazers 80-78. While Goudelock struggled shooting the ball after tearing it up in the first two games of Las Vegas Summer League, Marquis Teague was there to pickup the slack on the offensive end.

Believe this: Marquis Teague is shooting 100 percent from three-point range in Summer League (on four attempts). Teague scored 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting and went 3-for-3 from deep to pace SummerBulls throughout the game. Teague had an interesting matchup against the Blazers' C.J. McCollum, the No. 10 pick from this year's draft. Neither could stop each other all night. McCollum finished with 27 and hit a game-tying three-pointer with 10 seconds remaining. Teague didn't look good defensively, but he was a killer with the ball in his hands.

guards are generally amazing athletes, but even by those standards, Teague looks phenomenally quick. He was driving by McCollum and finishing at the rim all night.

On This Day In UK Basketball History

On March 28, 1992, in what many called the “best NCAA Tournament game ever,” Kentucky takes defending NCAA champion Duke into overtime before losing 104-103 in the East Regional finals in Philadelphia. A last-second shot by Christian Laettner sends Duke to the Final Four, and breaks the hearts of Wildcat fans everywhere. It is Cawood Ledford’s last game as the “Voice of the Wildcats.”

 

On March 28, 1998, against Stanford, Kentucky rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit, then grabbed a 5-point overtime lead, before fending off the Cardinals to advance to the title game for the third straight season. Jeff Sheppard canned three long-range three-pointers - two in the final three minutes and one in overtime - en route to a career-high 27 points.

 

On March 28, 2014, unranked Kentucky beat No. 5 Louisville 74-69, in the 2014 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.  Aaron Harrison buried a three-pointer from the left corner with 39 seconds left that put UK ahead to stay before 41,072 in Lucas Oil Stadium.

 

On March 28, 2015, No. 1 Kentucky defeated No. 8 Notre Dame, 68-66, in the 2015 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.  With its 37-0 record on the line, Kentucky trailed Notre Dame 59-53 with 6:14 left. UK rallied in front of 19,464 fans in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena and preserved its perfect season thanks to a crucial blocked shot by Willie Cauley-Stein and two game-deciding free throws from Andrew Harrison in the final seconds.
