Posted Mar 27, 2011
Brandon Knight -- who hit two game-winning shots in the first three games of this tournament, including on Friday night against Ohio State -- was the best player in this game, scoring 22 points, including five 3-pointers. Four other Kentucky players chipped in 12 or 11. For North Carolina, Zeller had 21 and Harrison Barnes finished with 18, but Barnes really struggled with his shot. (ESPN.com)
