34 years after losing to Duke on an almost identical play in the 1992 Elite Eight, Kentucky basketball hit a Christian Laettner-style shot to beat LSU on Wednesday night, 75-74.
Kentucky (11-6 record) trailed by 18 points at the half before storming back and winning the game at the buzzer.
Ironically, it was Kentucky on the other end of the most famous shot in the history of college basketball, Christian Laettner’s iconic basket to beat UK in the 1992 Elite Eight.
Wildcat fans are hoping this win will turn around a disappointing season that started with UK ranked #9 in the preseason but has featured inconsistent play and unexpected losses.
