No. 5- Cameron Mills Hits When it Matters Most

Kentucky came from 18 points down to defeat Duke in the 1998 South Regional final. Two big three-pointers from that epic contest make the list. The first one is by Cameron Mills to give the Cats the lead with a little over two minutes to go. The senior from Lexington picked an opportune time for his first basket of the game. I’ll have more to say about this game a little later.

Cameron Mills played at Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School in Lexington, Kentucky. As a Kentuckian, Mills was ultimately a fan favorite. Mills garnered a 53% 3PT field goal percentage for the 1996/1997 season, and followed it up with nearly a 46% 3PT field goal percentage for his senior season.
