Kentucky is now one game away from the Final Four after the No. 2 seed earned a 62-58 win over No. 3 Houston Friday.

Tyler Herro had the biggest shot of the day, knocking down a go-ahead three-pointer with 25 seconds left after a PJ Washington block:

Herro finished with 19 points, including the game-sealing free throws to lead Kentucky to the Sweet 16 victory at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Washington returned from injury and contributed 16 points to help the Wildcats reach the Elite Eight for the seventh time in 10 years under head coach John Calipari.

Armoni Brooks scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half to help take the late lead, but it wasn’t enough to keep Houston’s season alive after a program-record 33 wins.
