Kentucky has their Mariano Rivera and his name is Malik Monk

When opposing teams heard Metallica’s Enter Sandman on the Yankee Stadium speakers, it usually meant that the game was over because Mariano Rivera was going to sit the next three hitters down in order to end the ballgame.

When Malik Monk is running off screens and in transition towards the basket, while making everything he throws up as virtually the entire Kentucky offense, they’re entering the danger zone against the ‘Cats. (Shouts to Kenny Loggins.)

Kentucky led Vanderbilt by four points with about 90 seconds left on Tuesday night in Lexington. They had trailed by as many as 19 points early on and a large part of why they were able to steal one and clinch the top seed in next week’s SEC Tournament was because of Malik Monk coming up clutch yet again.
