KENTUCKY SURVIVES A CLOSE ONE… AGAIN

Down 69-67 with a couple minutes to play Karl-Anthony Tows knew he had to redeem himself for hanging on the rim drawing a technical earlier that night. He made the game-leading hookshoot and pulled down a key board in crunch time and Kentucky scraped by… again 71-69.  “I’m proud of Karl because he came back and grew up,” Calipari said. “Now I doubt — ever in his life — will he chin-up on a basket, ever again. But that’s why I looked like an idiot on the sideline and why I refused to call timeout. I even said, ‘I hope we lose. Watch this!” They almost did.
