Knight leads UK rally, Wildcats advance to Sweet 16

TAMPA, Fla. -- It's not taking Brandon Knight long to build an impressive résumé in the NCAA tournament. A game-winning shot in the closing seconds of his debut. A career-best 30 points in his next game, helping Kentucky get back into the round of 16. Less than 48 hours after his only basket helped the fourth-seeded Wildcats survive their tourney opener against Princeton, Knight led an 11-0 run coming out of halftime and made six free throws in the final minute to close out a 71-63 victory over fifth-seeded West Virginia. Not bad for a freshman who's coping with the pressure that comes with playing in the NCAAs, while also carrying the hopes of one of college basketball's most storied programs on his shoulders.
