UK gets ‘Titanic’ and ‘Hero’ treatment for game-winning sequence

Friday night was one of the wildest wins of the John Calipari era.

That says a lot for what’s been a 10-year stint full of dramatic finishes and game-winning shots, the latest coming from Tyler Herro with an assist from PJ Washington.

After seemingly taken control of the Houston Cougars, Kentucky’s offense went ice cold in the second half. With 3:38 left, Cougars guard Corey Davis Jr. hit a jumper to put Houston ahead 51-49. To that point, Kentucky had mustered up just 12 points in the second half.
