Anyone who’s watched Kentucky‘s last three games needs not be told the Wildcats have been clutch in advancing to the Final Four.
When UK needs a big 3-pointer, there’s Aaron Harrison or James Young. When the Cats need an important free throw, Andrew Harrison calmly steps to the line.
You surely remember many of the big plays UK used to take down three 2013 Final Four teams. But until you look back on the collection of them all, it’s not entirely clear just how good the Cats have been when it mattered most.
UK has had 22 total possessions that started in the final five minutes of wins over Wichita State, Louisville and Michigan and scored a ridiculous average of two points per possession. Only twice has UK come up empty on a possession during the stretch, and never when trailing.
