Kentucky already got one win over the weekend with a 73-63 win over Utah Valley, but their game on Sunday against Vermont was not as easy. They got the win 73-69, but it didn't come without drama as Vermont was knocking on the door pretty much the entire second half.
They got within three and had a couple good looks to tie the game for overtime, but couldn't hit them. Here was the last look, which wasn't a bad play, but was well defended.
