An oldie but a goodie: Better to be lucky than good.
To be sure, credit Kentucky basketball’s fight Tuesday night when John Calipari’s club battled back from a 14-point deficit to put itself in a beneficial position in what turned out to be an 83-81 overtime win over the oh-so-close Vanderbilt Commodores.
It was the same will to win the Cats showed three nights earlier in Morgantown when they dug themselves out of a deep 17-point hole in a hostile environment to surprise not just seventh-ranked West Virginia 83-76 but their own UK fan base, as well.
