No. 8 Tennessee beats No. 4 Kentucky in SEC semis. MORE:
Lamonte Turner , The Canadian Press
"Big moments like that, man, I thrive on those moments," Turner said."I always believe in myself. My teammates always believe in me. When it left my hands, I knew it was good." Kentucky's chances for a fifth straight SEC Tournament title vanished when Tennessee closed the game on an 18-6 run. Admiral Schofield missed a 3-pointer on Tennessee's next possession, but Williams got the rebound and called timeout with 38.5 seconds left. The Vols worked the ball to Turner, who buried a 3-point attempt from behind the top of the key.
After Washington missed a shot and a follow attempt with about 15 seconds left, Tennessee's Jordan Bone went 4 of 4 from the free-throw line in the last 11 seconds to finish off Kentucky. The third Kentucky-Tennessee meeting of the season took place roughly a three-hour drive from each campus, and about two-thirds of the Bridgestone Arena crowd appeared to be cheering for Kentucky as"Go Big Blue" chants competed with the sounds of"Rocky Top." That environment created a much closer game after the home team won easily in the two regular-season matchups.
