Indefensible decision not to foul or at least trap. He guarded 1-on-1 for 42 seconds inside the final minute down by 4! It's mind-boggling.
Down by 4, I think the feeling was that the best chance was to make a defensive stop, make a quick score and have a chance for another before the end of the game, instead of putting UConn on the line and having them assuredly go up by 6. Remember UConn as a team was shooting 90% at the free throw line throughout the tournament and 100% last night. Kentucky was 1-7 from 3 point range in the second half.
