Greatest UK basketball clutch shots

I really don't think there's ever been, or ever will be, heroics to the level that Aaron Harrison showcased in that 2014 tournament. Some players MIGHT get a game winning/go-ahead big shot in the tournament.. he had three of them.
What he did was truly magical.

Some of my faves:
- The Brassow tip-in
- The Sparks 3 against MSU
- The Padgett 3 against dook
- The Harrison shot against Michigan
Jenkins and Brassow come immediately to mind. Nazr had one against Vandy as well that was memorable, probably more for the type of shot that it was.

Whenever I need to get hyped up for a game, I will usually go watch those three shots. I really wish the twins got a title at UK.
I am old enough to remember Vernon Hattons 47 footer at the buzzer to send the game into OT. The Cats finally won that game in three OTs against a very good Temple team back in 1957.
I didn't watch the whole video so not sure if it was in there or not, but the Brandon Knight shot against OSU was pretty damned clutch.
Thanks for posting this! I'll be honest - I get a little teary-eyed when watching some of these clips. So many of them are associated with happy family times gone by.

I posted a video of that one years ago on True Blue Kentucky and Nazr himself commented on the thread saying it was his favorite shot he had ever hit.
Although admittedly it may have been a troll just claiming to be him, but I like to think it was really him.
