With just a minute remaining, John Wall hits a hard runner in the lane and MAKES it for an And-1 to make the free-throw. Under 35 seconds remaining, Uconn's ball down 2, they just weren't able to convert on their possession as Kentucky's Ramon Harris able to dig out the rebound and gets fouled. He makes the first and missed the second, UConn quickly runs down to their end of the court, airballed the first three, and missed the second shot as the Cats roll over the Huskies.

Kentucky Videos Player Of The Game: John Wall. Yea, you'll probably be seeing his name here a lot, but him being the #1 recruit, I don't think he even knows what a bad game is. He scored the Cat's last 12 of 15 Pts as he was a big factor to why we won this game.
