Kentucky's Garrison Keeps Streak Alive, Advances

0:00On March 12, Kentucky beat Missouri in their second round matchup, staying strong despite foul trouble in the front court. Brandon Garrison came off the bench for just 9 minutes, picking up 4 fouls along with teammate Malachi Moreno. Late in the game, tensions bowled over during a timeout when Kentucky's bench drew a technical foul. Missouri's Sean Phillips Jr. got 1-2 after some words were exchanged and the teams had to be separated. Garrison stayed calm in the moment, as caught on video, even admitting afterward that he gave a shove in response to Phillips' comments. He chose not to repeat what was said, but it clearly got the point across. Fans have tracked an unofficial streak where Kentucky remains undefeated in the 10 games this season that Garrison has earned a technical foul. That pattern held up again here, helping Kentucky advance with their front court holding firm under pressure.
