Kentucky basketball is making a living suddenly of thrilling finishes sinking Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt nearly drove a dagger into the Kentucky basketball hearts with its three-point shooting, but the mighty Wildcats fought each one-off and in the end, it was Davion Mintz delivering the fatal blow for a 77-74 UK victory.
Olivier Sarr led all players with a season-high 24 points, adding seven rebounds and two blocks. The senior transfer also had career highs with 14 of 17 at the foul line, also most by any Wildcat this season.
