Kentucky's Aaron Harrison makes Sports Illustrated cover

Sports Illustrated had a number of Aaron Harrison shots to choose from for its national cover this week.

The magazine went with the University of Kentucky freshman's game-winner against Michigan that vaulted the eighth-seeded Wildcats into the Final Four.

With the headline "Two's Shining Moment," the SI cover shows brother Andrew Harrison watching as Aaron releases the shot over the Wolverines' Caris LaVert.

It's the first national SI cover featuring UK since the Wildcats won the 2012 national title.

Louisville's Russ Smith also appeared with Julius Randle on a regional cover before this season. The headline: "March Rivals."
