LEXINGTON, Ky. — Five minutes into Kentucky’s matchup with Florida on Saturday evening, Keion Brooks found himself wide open underneath the basket, received a pass, and threw down a backscratcher dunk to give the Wildcats a 20-6 lead.
Brooks had been guarded a moment prior by Florida’s Myreon Jones, but Jones, in a moment of confusion from the Florida defense, sprinted to the corner. It left Brooks open for the dunk, but Jones apparently had a more pressing concern on his mind: Kellan Grady standing at the 3-point line.
To that point, Grady had already hit his first three 3-pointers for UK, giving the Wildcats an early cushion.
