re: Is "knowing how to win" a thing?

Kentucky is a pretty good example of the question. They had chances to put away Florida but didn't do it. When they played Vandy, despite having some real hiccups during the game, they were able to KBO (Keep Buggering On) their way to a win. It was a huge step forward for them, not only breaking the string of losses in the SEC, but doing so in a game where they did not play their best.
