Kentucky reaches title game thanks to another late Aaron Harrison 3
Kentucky beat Wisconsin 74-73
Harrison took a pass from his twin brother, Andrew, spotted up from NBA range and watched the ball rattle in for the lead with 5.7 seconds left Saturday night to lift the Wildcats to a 74-73 victory over Wisconsin in the Final Four.
Traevon Jackson had a last-second shot to try to beat the Wildcats (29-10), but the desperation jumper rimmed out, and once again Harrison found himself at the bottom of a dog pile at center court. Sophomore Alex Poythress' leg bent backward in the scrum. He was icing his left knee afterward but said he'd be OK for Monday's final.
Eighth-seeded Kentucky will play seventh-seeded UConn -- the highest seed total to play for the title since they started putting numbers by the names back in 1979. The Wildcats, who missed March Madness last year, haven't lost a tournament game since the 2011 semifinal against UConn.
