YouTube Gold: Duke-Kentucky 2001

In 2001, Duke was still a very good basketball team but there was no replacing Shane Battier.

Rutgers transfer Dahntay Jones did well though and presented different challenges.

Still, when Duke met Kentucky in the mid-December Jimmy V Classic, it still had issues to sort out and Kentucky went up big in the second half as Coach K briefly benched his starters.

Jason Williams took over when he returned though and brought Duke back, sparking a 24-10 run and helping to get to overtime where Duke won 95-92.

Tayshaun Prince had 31 for UK but that was dwarfed by Williams’ 38.
