| Summary: | INDIANAPOLIS - Donnell Harris had gotten used to the pressure of the NCAA Tournament a week ago in an overtime game against Providence. Last night, he reveled in it. A 6-foot-11-inch sophomore, Harris played 19 minutes, mostly because starting center A.J. Bramlett fouled out. He rose to the occasion, getting a critical offensive rebound with 2:26 remaining in overtime and the game tied at 76. Harris was fouled, made a free throw and the Wildcats didn't trail again. "Donnell came in and played the (middle) of our scheme against Kentucky's press," said UA assistant coach Phil Johnson. "He got the ball, took care of it all night, and rotated it to the right outlet man. The middle of that exchange was very important. Donnell was one of the keys." |
