Kentucky vs. Houston: Sweet 16 NCAA tournament extended highlights 

First-off: I want to give a ton of credit to that Houston basketball team. 33 wins is nothing to be ashamed of, and Coach Sampson did a great job with that group tonight. You guys made it a dogfight, and instead of folding, you guys stayed in it until the very end. PJ Washington was the MVP of this game. Tyler Herro's 3 was amazing, and it was a total team effort, but if it wasn't for PJ, I think Kentucky loses this game. I had an odd feeling watching this game; I had a feeling Kentucky was going to lose this game, it felt just like the last 8 minutes of that semi-final game against Tennessee in the SEC Tournament. This is the first time Kentucky really pulled through and got the win in a game like this. PJ Washington is going to be an amazing player at the next level. His ability to do well on the offense and defensive sides of the ball is unmatched to a lot of players in the country.

This Kentucky team is underrated all time. Look at the nba players on this team. Herro Johnson Washington quickley Richards

That last time out saved us. LITERALLY! Great call Coah Cal! Experience is the best teacher. #BBN

As a UH fan I’m proud of how the cougars did this season, and I think they could’ve won this game if the would’ve planned the last play properly, but still a great game by Kentucky

We played an awful 2nd half. The team struggled offensively when Houston made insane 3 pointers time after time. Fortunately the Wildcats woke up with one minute left. P.J. Washington single-handedly turned the tide and Herro sealed the deal. BTW it's very emotional to hear "My Old Kentucky Home" played by our Pep Band during the post-game. Go Cats! Go Big Blue! #BBN

1-minute left and Kentucky down 3. PJ hits a one handed jumper inside the paint, huge block by PJ on the other end, Herro nails a 3, assist by Johnson, UK great defense, Herro gets the ball so he’s the one fouled to stop the clock, 94% FT shooter hits both double-bonus free throws to seal the deal, and up by/win by 4pts. Elite 8 bound. GO BBN!

Who is glad PJ is back. 😄

That block by Washington starting the fast break that led to Herro's 3 was definitely the play(s) of the game. Probably not the best shot selection by Houston, but as a UK fan will definitely take it. Think UK scored 12 points the first 16+ minutes of the 2nd half then 13 the last 3+...Credit to Houston for making it a very tough game. On to the Elite 8..Auburn is smoking hot..hopefully it's a good game. Or a UK blowout :)

Too bad. Houston gave that game away at the end. Credit to Kentucky. They hit the shots when they needed to down the stretch.

Honestly it’s amazing with what Coach cal has done with this team... never thought that this team would have a chance to be in the elite 8 and even the final four after the beginning of the season...

Great win, CATS!! GBB!

As expected this matchup as straight fire👏👏to close to call

Great game great win for Kentucky that was a key block that help preserve the win for Kentucky Houston hung in there but they came up short second year in a row a great win for Kentucky but cougar fans be proud a basketball program on the rise

Tyler Hero is FOREAL

Kansas Citian here with an obligatory ‘wrong state’ observation: first highlight, “hits it from Missouri!” True, I guess. Every other shot during the game was also hit from Missouri, not just the long threes. I facepalmed so hard when he said that.

Tough to see Houston loose they had some ballers on that squad

the cameraman at 4:13

Houston has a mean squad. Hope they stay together for next year, they can win it all.

Can you not spoil the score in the thumbnail? Thanks

tyler with the horse gallop 7:55

We always get so close then end up getting knocked out in the elite 8 or final 4 but it’s all good next year will be better so proud of our boys go big blue

Yes baby here we go..GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

2021 Pandemic Tournament and no Kentucky. So I'm watching all of our highlights to try and forget the pain.

Can't wait for tomorrow!!!! Elite 8!!!!

Armani Brooks has one of the smoothest strokes i've ever seen

Love from Bowling Green KY

KENTUCKY STILL DANCING

This has been caliparis best coaching job.

Tyler Herro is a bucket imma miss him after this season

Those 2 last possessions killed us. Corey should've looked for the kick-out, Armoni was burying everything, yet Corey has proven to be money finishing close to the rim. Perhaps a little more planning could've won us this game.

Respect for Houston ! Washington was too tough tho & the rest of Kentucky

Pj Washington coming in clutch

Herro the hero

It doesn't make any sense that Tyler Herro does not have a larger role in the Kentucky offense.

Good game🏀

Washington reminds me of Aldridge

Washington remind me alot of Lamarcus Aldridge

Seeing all the other games left in the field, I just don't see Kentucky to advance very far. Inside out is good against most team, but the reminding field has many teams with good defence and seen like outside in is the remaining option in the close race.

Hopefully Kentucky wins they’re next game! Good luck Kentucky! Go cats!!!

Go Big Blue.Lets Win It All #ShineFor#9

Can't wait to watch Kentucky play duke/Michigan st/Gonzaga

7:20 I’m glad the coach knew it wasn’t over when he told Houston’s bench to calm down

This game was timeout mania

Great game, but my initial thought when Herro let go of that ball in the end was, "dumb shot".. but it went in, i mean we were down 1 @ that point. Didn't need a 3, and if he missed that shot, the game is pretty much over and he had a good look, BUT he WASN'T WIDE OPEN. Our strength the entire game was the post and 2 of their main interior defenders had fouled out, so Washington or Travis in the post would have been the smarter play, but IT went in. So, you gotta give the kid credit. BUT, no way UK WINS without PJ Washington, they probably lose by 10.

HOW BOUT DEM WILDCATS.....wooooooo

I’m a UK fan go wildcats

Pj is a game changer Kentucky will be tough to beat while he’s playing

Tyler hero is the number one draft pick , my opinion, all around skills set he is the best

Im a duke fan and they smashed Kentucky in the regular season but if they meet again it will he a much better game

Would've liked to have seen more of the last few seconds. Thought another 3 seed would beat the 2, but no Kentucky survives

this one hurt as a coogs fan, but not quite as bad as Jordan Poole the year before against Michigan. These runs for UH seem apparent as long as Samspon is the leader

Low scoring but a good game. Go Zags.

lets go Kentucky

7:43 There I just saved you 8 minutes

Houston we have a problem,,, nice game

Really both teams couldn't find their rhythm in this game. Having a basketball game at 10:15pm Eastern time is way to late. Especially with a trip to the Elite 8 on the line.

BBN!

A year later Herro is in the NBA Finals.

Go Big Blue

Sad Houston quit at the end p

They should make Kentucky play at midnight next time.

I'm a UH student, and I knew going into this game we were going to struggle, since Kentucky looks way better on paper and we have no designated big guy..hard to rebound against people several inches taller than you and defend them in the paint. Good game though.

Hard to see what the foul was on the 3-point play by Washington with 56 seconds left. I thought the defender had legal guarding position and even leaned away from Washington as he went up for the shot.

“He Hit That From Missouri”???!!!!! Kansas City is in Missouri

Man I'm so pumped I was wrong about UNC cuz I cant wait to see my Togers play UK. UK yall better come with it cuz Auburn ain't playin this year!!

Let's go UK #wildcats

Tyler Herro is the GOAT.

Her we come them CATS are a balanced team as long as we stay healthy...

PJ Washington made the difference, he returned from a foot injury. Had he not played, Houston might have won this game.

who’s here watching in 2021 because kentucky doesn’t have a tourney bid this year

Herro was a herro

The refs called a foul on Houston on almost every one of Kentucky’s possessions down the stretch. This was clearly a case of the refs being influenced by the Vegas books and working to give Kentucky the advantage. Anyone watching that game would know this. Am not even a fan of either team, but the refs made this a really sad and difficult game to watch.

We got a little lucky but oh well

CATS...CATS...CATS.... TYLER AND PJ SHOW BABY!! #9 IS COMING TO LEXINGTON! BOOK IT!! 34TH ELITE 8 FOR CATS!!

Announcer: Pulls up from Missouri!! Bruh they are in Missouri Ppl who don’t know the difference between KCK and KCMO are so annoying to me

kentuckey all the way

This was the game I knew for sure this Kentucky teams was on borrowed time. After the wofford game I was suspicious but we had the excuse that PJ was missing. Plus I was thinking...another week to get themselves right...maybe they get going again in KC. Nope. They played scared against wofford and then did the same thing against Houston. Probably shouldn’t have beaten Houston. Not so lucky against loose auburn team. Good season. But ultimately still disappointing imo for a team that some had preseason #1. Point guard play was a problem for the first time since 2013. Richards still wasn’t where we needed him to be and Montgomery was vastly overrated.

Don't drive young blood

More March Sadness...

PLEEEEEASE stop putting the winner in the thumbnail.

Stop putting the winning team on the title screen!!!!!

Coogs > St. Peter's > Kentucky

#BBN

big blue happy that vols lost since that team is their kryptonite

81st liker 8+1😼🏆9️⃣💯🔨🔵⚪️🙌

and I have a perfect bracket.

Houston lost to a name on a jersey, not a better team..

They cheat Huston that was not a foul he obviously had his hands up 🤦🏽‍♂️

Tyler hero =🚫 defense

Houston, more like Loseton haha that was terrible

Crooked Cal, lucked out AGAIN !

Why does Kentucky get such an easy bracket year in and year out?

Houston & LSU both went out like poohbutts.....Master P is rolling over in his grave

RIGGED!!!

Theyre gonna get WRECKED by Auburn 💪💪

Houston is only good at one thing...Choking at the end. Last year they did it...this year they did it. Chokeston Cougars....

A Kentucky win is like a kiss from your sister. I can hardly think of anything more boring than Kentucky going all the way to the final. I'd rather watch an ice cube melt.

On to the Elite Eight is all that mattters! Go Big blue!
