Brandon Knight was dreadful for the first 39:58 of his first NCAA Tournament, but for the last 40:02 he has shown why he just might be the best freshman in University of Kentucky basketball history. Let that sink in for a second. There have been several great freshmen in UK history, including three last season alone and two of Knight’s teammates this season. One of his teammates, forward Terrence Jones, was selected Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year ahead of Knight.
