KSR’s Game of the Day: Aaron Harrison’s game-winner against Wisconsin (2014)

Six years ago to the day, Aaron Harrison made it at “the point where he always hits it.”

On April 5, 2014, the eight-seed Kentucky Wildcats took on the two-seed Wisconsin Badgers with a spot in the national title on the line.

After taking down nine-seed Kansas State in the opening round, the Wildcats were forced to follow it up with back-to-back-to-back victories against lower-ranked seeds for a spot in the Final Four. It started with a gritty victory over Wichita State (1) – the first team since UNLV in 1991 to go into postseason play undefeated – in the Round of 32, followed by defending champion* Louisville (4) in the Sweet Sixteen, and Michigan (2) in the Elite Eight.
