Kentucky stuns LSU with game-winner that will give Christian Laettner flashbacks

The start of the 2025-26 season hasn’t gone according to plan for Kentucky basketball, but there’s still time to turn it around. On Wednesday night, it didn’t look like that was in the cards for Mark Pope and company, as they fell into an 18-point second-half hole against LSU.

However, Kentucky battled back to give itself a chance to win in the final seconds. A missed free throw by Otega Oweh prevented Kentucky from tying the game with less than five seconds to go, but a pair of LSU misses at the line left the door open for the Wildcats.

Kentucky didn’t miss its chance. Collin Chandler found Malachi Moreno with a pinpoint full-court pass, and the freshman drilled the jumper to give his team a 75-74 win.
