On this day: Tyler Herro drills go-ahead three to defeat Houston, advance to Elite Eight

On this day in Kentucky basketball history, The Bucket sank the Houston Cougars in the Sweet 16 to clinch a spot in the Elite Eight.

Back on March 29, 2019, the two-seed Wildcats took on the three-seed Cougars in the Midwest Regional Semifinal, a back-and-forth matchup that saw UK lead by 13 points to open the second half and fall behind by three in the final minute of regulation.

Down three with 56 seconds remaining, PJ Washington knocked down a jumper to cut the deficit to just one, followed by a block by the standout sophomore on the other end.
