The Cats made their biggest comeback of the year, rallying from a 15-point second half deficit, thanks in large part to Tyler Herro. The freshman had a career-high 29 points, including a career-best five threes. Despite tweaking his Achilles just before halftime, he was absolutely clutch in the second half, hitting big shot after big shot, including two free throws to put Kentucky up by three with 5.4 seconds left. As he told Arkansas’ Mason Jones, he’s a bucket.
