Kentucky Survives Wofford to Advance to Sweet 16 as Fletcher Magee Goes Ice Cold

​From ice in his veins to ice cold, it was a chilly second-round game for ​Fletcher Magee and the Wofford Terriers. Magee, the nation's all-time leading three-point shooter, failed to make a single basket from behind the arc on Saturday, sinking his team's chances in the process.

Magee has routinely come up big for Wofford this season, even making seven three-pointers in the Terriers' win over Seton Hall. Instead, the likes of Ashton Hagans and Keldon Johnson shut Magee down, going over screens and providing on-ball pressure on nearly every attempt by the sharpshooter.

Credit to Magee, who just kept on shooting, but the weight of the moment and his consistent failures on a national stage clearly had an impact on his mental makeup. Magee was visibly frustrated late in the game, even taking some ill-timed prayers with the hope that somehow, just maybe, one would fall. Instead, Magee's jump shot never arrived to the gym.

For Kentucky, surviving this first weekend without their best player in PJ Washington is, to be blunt, a miracle. ​Washington's status moving forward is still in doubt, but with a week to rest and test his injury, the odds of the sophomore contributing in some way, shape, or form increase immensely.

That's why they call it survive and advance. Kentucky took that definition to a new level.
