By the middle of the season, everyone knew that Kentucky was De'Aaron Fox's team and he did not let his team down. Kentucky rolled into the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed and managed to get all the way to the Elite Eight.
In the Sweet 16, Fox had a showdown with UCLA's Lonzo Ball. The game was billed as two of the best young point guards in basketball going head-to-head with Ball's name at the top of the marquee, but Fox dominated the matchup. He finished with 39 points and four assists. Ball finished with 10 and eight.
