During the University of Kentucky's pre-season media day, it only seemed every question directed at Brandon Knight contained a variation on the same theme.
So, Brandon, how do you plan to replace John Wall? How much pressure do you feel replacing John Wall?
Over and over, Knight calmly answered that he felt no pressure to replace the great Wall, would simply concentrate on being the best Brandon Knight he could be.
On Sunday, Knight emphatically ensured his own UK basketball legacy will always stand in its own bright light.
Over and over Sunday, as Carolina made runs at Kentucky's lead, it was Knight who supplied UK's answer. Fourteen of his 22 points and three of his five three-pointers came in the second half.
"He stepped up and made great shots," said Carolina's Dexter Strickland.
Even in the rich history of Kentucky basketball, has any player ever had a clutch-shooting jaunt through an NCAA Tournament like Brandon Knight in 2011?
The guy who hit the game-winners against Princeton and Ohio State said his timely shooting throughout Sunday's victory over North Carolina was more taking what he was being given as opposed to a conscious effort to take shots in critical moments.
"Mostly, it was flow of the game," he said. "I wasn't coming down the floor saying, 'OK, we need a big shot here.' I was just playing my game."
