The Kentucky Wildcats are going to the Elite Eight after a thrilling win over Houston on Friday night.
Just when things were looking bad for the Wildcats, PJ Washington emphatically blocked a Cougar shot then came down the court and found Tyler Herro.
Herro, despite coach John Calipari yelling for him to drive to the basket, wasted no time launching the long three. As has become common for the talented freshman, the ball found the bottom of the net and clinched a Kentucky victory.
Naturally, after the game, fans couldn’t wait to have some fun with the play, setting it to a couple of very popular songs.
Here’s the shot set to the tune of “Hero,” by Enrique Iglesias:

And here it is set to the theme from “Titanic:”
I couldn't sleep until I knew this existed. So I made it myself.
