- Social media reacts to Kentucky's OT win over UCF
For a moment, it looked like Kentucky basketball would lose their final exhibition game to UCF. They trailed by two with just seconds remaining, but Alex Wilkins hit a beautiful floater with less than a second remaining to send it to overtime. There, the Wildcats dominated, and earned a 90-76 victory.
Kentucky got big games from Malachi Moreno and Mason Williams. Moreno recorded 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Williams scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting while playing very good defense. Milan Momcilovic took over in overtime, and led the Cats with 19 points overall.

There were some concerns, though. Kentucky led by 13 points, but some major defensive lapses led to wide open three-pointers for UCF. They also continue to have scoring droughts on offense.
Still, overall, they did a lot of good things, and proved they aren't afraid of big moments. After the game, Kentucky fans took to social media to talk about it. Here are some of the best posts from X.
