The University of Kentucky is looking to turn around their hoops fortune this season. The Wildcats brought in coach John Calipari and top recruit John Wall in order to get the program back to an elite level. It looks like they are off to a good start.
With just seconds remaining on the clock Miami of Ohio guard Kenny Hayes drilled a deep three pointer to tie the game at 70. Hayes pulled up from well beyond NBA range and with ice water in his veins knocked down a huge shot. The situation at that moment looked bleak for UK, but freshman John Wall received the inbounds pass, dribbled up the floor, and took a shot that Wildcat fans will not soon forget.
With plays like this one the Kentucky faithful are in for a long roller coaster season. Coach Cal is going to need a strong defensive effort on a nightly basis if he expects his team to have a high level of success this year. Wall lead his team in scoring with 19 points.
John Wall looks like the best player among the incoming freshman. I saw the game the other night and he was quite impressive. He has a good chance of being the top pick in next years NBA draft.
