JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Less than 30 seconds to go, game slipping away, Kentucky clinging to a two-point lead, having missed six shots in a row and gone more than three minutes without a point.

OK, who gets the ball?

Answer: Reid Travis.

“Every time we needed a basket to separate,” UK coach John Calipari said, “we were throwing it to him.”

The play called in Kentucky’s huddle was to create a two-man game between Travis and Tyler Herro.
