The Saint Joseph's Hawks gave the Kentucky Wildcats a big scare in Rupp Arena, but thanks to excellent overtime play from Tre Mitchell and DJ Wagner, the Cats got it done.

Some people seem to be upset about the close win, but this was a win people should be excited about.

Coach Calipari believes that Saint Joseph's team will be in the conversation to win their league and make the Big Dance.

If that were the case, this is a team you might face in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Sometimes, teams like this give you a scare, and that's what happened, but this young Kentucky team got the job done.

Yes, there are some things that need to be improved, like rebounding and guarding the three-point line, but this Kentucky team found a way to win late, which is what matters.

The rebounding will continue to get better as the Cats get their big men back, but the guards crashed the board late, which helped Kentucky win this basketball game.

This Kentucky basketball team also continues to shoot the basketball well and limit turnovers, which should be a very scary sight to the top dogs in college hoops.

Let's take a look at the highlights and box score from Kentucky's 96-88 overtime win over the Saint Joseph's Hawks.
