Posted Mar 28, 2011
Brandon Knight wasn't the least bit worried on Sunday night when the basketball left his hands on a shot in the final three minutes of NCAA East Regional championship game, with Kentucky and North Carolina tied 67-67. Just as he did on the final play against Princeton in the first round and late against Ohio State in the regional semifinals on Friday, Knight nailed the shot that kept his team advancing.
