Incredibly fun ending to that game. Oweh with a shot that will live in Kentucky infamy. A One Shining Moment scene for sure.

With that being said, if you're not concerned for the future of this program after watching this game then you just don't get it.
You don't get it, this is the NCAA Tournament, no style points here ONLY win and advance.

How many titles have been won after miracle plays like that? A few...
1995 UCLA 2nd round Tyus Edney going length of the court for the win in less than 5 seconds.
2019 Virginia Elite 8 vs Purdue with the missed FT get the ball in the back court pass to 15 feet shot to go OT in the final 3 seconds.

Two that come to mind

Not a title, but a FF was Brandon Knight over Princeton and obviously Harrison vs Witchita St.

We aren't losing to this corn fed power lifter on Sunday.
They're like 225 or so on defense. They do have one 3 point shooter that hits like 48%, stop him & don't give up offensive rebounds & we have a good shot. I'm interested in what the spread is going to be?

Been on X and while I am adamantly in the corner of Pope is not the right guy, I cannot fathom the arrogance of fans to say we as fans shouldn’t be happy we beat some no name on a miracle shot.

Well I don’t like Pope as coach, think he should be replaced but I will be damned if I’m going to be unhappy with a miracle shot and BG time! UK won! Now I hope UK gets 5 more miracle wins!

I still feel like the jury is still out on Pope. Just do not think he can be truly judged when both of his teams have experienced a ridiculous amount of injuries. JMHO.

He would be a very valuable piece if he played like that against top teams.
He definitely has the skills to be a game changer. His ability to defend smaller guys on the perimeter is something few guys his size can do. IMO, he has to improve his motor, range and his head. He has to play smarter.
