With 6:15 left to play, senior guard Josh Hart slashed through the lane and slammed home a two-handed dunk, giving the thunderous crowd at the Pavilion something to cheer for in the Wildcats’ 79-54 win over No. 15 Xavier on Tuesday.
“My parents tell me, ‘just go get it,’” Hart said. “Sometimes I go through a reckless abandonment mentality, but I’m not scared to get hurt. That stuff doesn’t even enter my mind.”
At a young age, Hart has seen the worst of things happen to him. The adversity he has overcome was addressed earlier this week on “Inside the BIG EAST” on Fox Sports.
