In a 21-point, 12-rebound, 4-block performance, Kentucky center Nick Richards did just about everything right. He was efficient – the junior big man finished 9-13 shooting – scored in a variety of ways with relative ease, defended well, and rebounded with aggression.
Plenty stuck out about his performance, but one play in particular set Rupp Arena (and the internet as a whole) on fire.
Up 12 points with 5:03 to go in the second half, caught the ball at the top of the key, drove to the basket, Euro-stepped around a Missouri defender, and rolled the floater home.
