If you were to think of one storyline from Kentucky’s victory against Arkansas on Saturday night, the first thing to come to mind is almost certainly Tyler Herro’s scorching-hot performance that nearly single-handedly brought the Cats back to victory.
Finishing with a career-high 29 points on 9-10 shooting and 5-6 from three, Herro was unstoppable with the ball in his hands. Anything he threw up felt like it was going in, and with the Cats down by as many as 15 in the second half, they needed every bit of it.
While the three-pointers and stepback jumpers were flashy and certainly made for an impressive highlight reel, Herro’s biggest moment of the game came at the free throw line up by one point with just five seconds remaining.
