Born and raised a Kentucky Wildcats fan, Malachi Moreno has been practicing what happened on Wednesday night in Baton Rouge since he was a little kid in Georgetown, KY. But only in his dreams did he imagine it playing out in the borderline miraculous way it actually did in reality.
Moreno saved Kentucky from the jaws of defeat against LSU. After catching a full-court bomb from Collin Chandler with the ‘Cats down one and 1.6 seconds on the game clock, the seven-foot freshman turned around and swished a long jumper at the horn to lift his team past the Tigers, 75-74.
