Knight's Layup Leads UK Past Princeton
Freshman Brandon Knight, held scoreless for more than 39 minutes, made a driving layup with 2 seconds remaining to lift No. 4 seed Kentucky to a 59-57 win over 13th-seeded Princeton in the second round of the NCAA tournament Thursday. Knight missed his first seven shots and even found himself on the bench in the closing minute. But coach John Calipari, who proclaimed, "You can't count on freshmen" a day earlier, put the ball in Knight's hands with the game on the line. Knight delivered, and Big Blue advanced to face West Virginia in the third round Saturday.
