Davion Mintz is the hero in Kentucky’s win over Vanderbilt thanks to his corner three-pointer that broke the tie with under a minute to go. Vanderbilt had a couple of looks to force overtime in the final seconds, but the Commodores’ efforts to match Mintz’s late game heroics did not succeed.
Kentucky won, 77-74.
Asked after the game how it felt to hit the game-winner, Mintz told reporters, “That felt amazing. Coach was drawing it up and I knew where he had placed me. I knew that it would be open, and Devin put it right on the money and it was just bottoms.
