He didn’t check into the game until UK was down 20 points — Louisville’s largest lead of the game — with 12:24 to go in regulation. Eight minutes later with Williams rounding out a small-ball Kentucky lineup, the Wildcats were down just four points. it just wasn’t enough to complete the comeback.
Despite coming in cold, the Tulane transfer made an immediate impact off the bench.
