After a pulse revving first-round NCAA Tournament game Friday, Makayla Epps wrapped her fingers around Maci Morris’ wrist.
“Epps was checking her veins in the prayer circle there in the end and said she had ice water in there,” Kentucky Coach Matthew Mitchell said, half joking about his sophomore guard. “She’s just a real cool customer.”
Morris made seven of eight free throw attempts in the final 37 seconds of a 73-70 Kentucky win over Belmont in the first round.
With three seconds to play, Kylee Smith’s layup got the Bruins within a point. Then Morris calmly walked to the free throw line.
