ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - No, that was no instant replay, although it certainly to watch could get highlight that Aaron Harrison turns and his Kentucky teammate in a loop.

Harrison took a pass from his twin brother, Andrew, discovered from NBA range and Saturday night saw to which the Wildcats the ball in the lead with 5.7 seconds left, a 74-73 victory over Wisconsin in the final four rattle.

It was a near copy of his game-winner last weekend in the regional final against Michigan. It was he exactly as big as the 3 made the game about leadership for the good in the Sweet 16 against Louisville Kentucky to help.

"You should not fear to miss, and you want this guy to be, who wants to take the big shots", said Aaron Harrison.

"He needs the clutch gene," said Wisconsin Sam Dekker.

Traevon Jackson met to try to beat the Wildcats (29-10), but the desperation jumper rimmed out, with a last second and Harrison again dog found a bunch at the bottom of the Centre Court. Student of Alex Poythress leg bent backwards in the Scrum. It was his left knee then powdered sugar but said that he would be OK for Monday's final.

Eighth seeded Kentucky plays the highest seed play seventh seeded UConn - total for the title, as she started by the name of numbers back in 1979. The Wildcats, who last year missed March Madness, since the 2011 semi-finals against UConn lost no tournament game.

"Know how well they are I, but I know not play like it," Kentucky coach John Calipari said of the next opponent.

Second-seeded Wisconsin (38) set a final four record to 95 percent from the free-throw line - 19 of 20. However, that Miss the Badgers expensive. Jackson Andrew Harrison, has to jump into him while attempting a 3-pointer with 16.4 seconds left. His first free throw, rimmed and - after he the next two made - Wisconsin had a lead of 73-71 and Kentucky had the ball.

Doubts about where he was going?

", Said coach wanted to make the recording, my teammates have confidence in me, and I only enough of it," Harrison said.

Against Louisville in the regional semifinals Harrison was open in the corner, when Julius Randle found him. He hit the go-ahead 3 with 39.1 seconds left on his way to a 74-69 victory.

Two nights later was 2.3 seconds on the clock and Harrison was right, a few steps away where he was Saturday when he took the pass from his brother. Michigan CARIS LeVert met Harrison's hand as he roughly 24 m shot, but the ball still went. After that back water freshman quietly before his team-mates it was to compliment.

This time it was Josh Gasser in his face about 25 m - a big step back, where would the NBA line. The ball is in sound and Harrison turned around and raised his hands over his head before running to the other end of the Court.

A few minutes later, he was hugged in the stands his mother.

"He was outside deep enough", said Gasser. "He was not really to pull a shot the entire game saw." I saw him start to rise, and I tried to deny the best that I could. I thought I did a good job, but he has a good chance."

It was the night of Harrison's only attempt of 3; the Wildcats went just 2 of 5 as a team.

James Young went hard to the rim in the first half and led Kentucky with 17 points. Randle finished with 16, but only five boards snap his series of three straight double double.

Kentucky damage in other ways on the inside, the answer to find for Wisconsin do-all 7-footer, Frank Kaminsky, eight points and five rebounds per game was held.

Ben Brust and Dekker had 15 for the badgers, who came a game after their first appearance in the final since 1941.

Instead, it's Kentucky for his ninth title and second in three years, with a roster from 2012 almost completely rebuilt. It is the way Calipari, like it or doesn't, and it was not easy to sail all. The team that first fell in the preseason poll place for the beginning of March Madness.

The Wildcats have only started to play to their potential.

"you know, I believe in it. Aaron white, '' said Calipari. "If you've watched us, we have a number of stars in this team."

Harrison is the largest of them in this tournament. If he wants to leave, after Monday he must first-round potential, although it is not his final numbers in this game eight points, three rebounds, it will impress the Scouts, as his final shot.

"He was smiling as he knew that he wanted to make it,", said Andrew Harrison. "He is a great player. I've still never seen anything."
