Can you believe it? It’s been a few minutes since the final horn sounded, but I still can’t believe it. Kentucky overcame a 9-point halftime deficit to grind out a 77-72 win over Duke.

Mark Pope’s third win is Kentucky’s third win over the Blue Devils since Jack Givens scored 41 in the 1978 National Championship. Holy Moly.

This is one of those wins that just gotta drink up and enjoy every second, even though it wasn’t always pretty. The Cats started hot from three, sinking their first five to take a 6-point lead. Then Kentucky cooled off and Duke had their way with the Wildcats.

Duke only had one turnover in the first half. They had six in the second half, including a couple in the final minutes. Shout out to Otega Oweh. Clutch, Clutch City.

Oweh had 15 points and six rebounds. Andrew Carr led Kentucky in scoring with 17 points and five boards, while Amari Williams chipped in 10 and 8.

OMG. They actually did that. I can’t believe it either. Just play the tape over and over and over again. It’s not getting old anytime soon.
