YouTube Gold: Jason Williams Destroys Kentucky In 2001

When Duke played Kentucky in the Jimmy V Classic in December of 2001, things didn’t go that well. Kentucky built at 12 point second half lead, which led Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski to bench his starters. He later said that his team needed those electroshock panels they use in an emergency room.

When they came back in, Jason Williams got going and scored 11 points in a 14-4 run. Duke eventually took Kentucky to overtime and won, 95-92.

Williams was superb throughout, finishing with 38 points on 12-21 from the floor and, most impressively, hitting 7 of 10 three pointers.
