They needed it after the beatdown at Florida they took over the weekend.
Then on Wednesday, Georgia took a home loss to Ole Miss 97-95 in OT as Patton Pinkins of the Rebels broke a 95-95 tie with 1 second left in the extra period to win the game.
That brings the Bulldogs to their second loss in three games and the Rebels their second win in a row. Vanderbilt fell behind late in the first half in Austin, climbed most of the way back early in the second, and then gave in as the Longhorns stood strong at home and handed the Commodores their first loss of the season.
It’s a big win for Texas heading into their rivalry game with the hated Aggies, and great momentum in the first part of their two-game homestand.“It’s a Bluegrass Miracle for Kentucky!” said Tom Leach as Malachi Moreno’s jumper from the free throw line swished in at the buzzer.
The 2002 LSU game-winning touchdown at Kentucky is known as “The Bluegrass Miracle”, but this one went in the Wildcats’ favor and against the Tigers on the hardwood.
