NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As the clock ticked under the 14-minute mark Tuesday, CJ Fredrick hauled in a pass and hesitated.
Kentucky basketball's lethal sharpshooter had no defender in sight as he gathered himself behind the 3-point line. Instead of launching a triple, however, he drove and threw the ball up to teammate Jacob Toppin, who slammed it home on an alley-oop. Less than 30 seconds later, Fredrick sank a jumper on a fast break.
And a minute after that, Fredrick once again passed up a shot for himself, electing to dish to an open teammate.
