HOUSTON — With the game on the line against North Carolina a week ago, DeAndre Liggins took the shot that few thought he would take and buried a 3-pointer from the right corner.Against Connecticut, it didn’t work out quite as planned.Trailing by two points with 16 seconds left and a chance to tie or win the game, head coach John Calipari called timeout for one final shot. Calipari put the ball in the hands of his freshman point guard Brandon Knight, but Knight kicked to Liggins on the perimeter with time ticking down.With six seconds to go, Liggins decided to go for a 3-pointer, pulling up from behind the arc. The shot fell short, Kentucky fouled and Connecticut sunk its free throws.Just like that Kentucky’s magical season and its first run to the Final Four since 1998 came to a deflating end with a 56-55 loss to the Huskies (UK hit a final desperation 3).Everyone agreed postgame that Liggins’ shot wasn’t exactly how Calipari drew up their final chance at a national championship in the timeout.”It wasn’t,” Liggins said. “I should have drove it.”Knight hit two game-winning shots during UK’s NCAA Tournament run, but he decided to kick it out to Liggins this time around when he didn’t see anything in the lane. Knight was also just 6 of 23 from the field.”Just looking for the best shot,” was how Knight said the final shot was supposed to play out. “I was trying to create for somebody and DeAndre took a great shot. It just didn’t go in.”The shot looked like it had the right trajectory but it came up just a few inches short.”I kind of babied it a little bit,” Liggins said. “It was deep and I didn’t get enough on it.”Liggins said he shot the ball with confidence, but he second-guessed himself the more he thought about the shot in the locker room.”Maybe we should have went to Doron (Lamb) or somebody else for the shot but Brandon threw me the ball,” Liggins said. “I should have maybe drove it and got an ‘and one’ or something like that. But it is what it is. I shot it and missed. Things happen.” A minute earlier Liggins hit a 3 to cut the deficit to three points and then followed it by getting fouled and making 1-of-2 free throws. He also provided the dagger last week against Florida.But the 3-pointer with 1:37 left was his only field goal, and Lamb was 5 of 10 from the field and 3 of 5 from behind the arc.”DeAndre was open and he had the hot hand,” senior forward Josh Harrellson said. “I was happy for him to take that shot.”
