March Madness is finally officially here for Kentucky. The Wildcats open their potential NCAA tournament run with a matchup against the Davidson Wildcats from the Atlantic 10 conference.
Davidson won its conference tournament to make the NCAA tournament, and now one Wildcat team will look to avoid being knockd off by another as the two play in a 5/12 matchup tonight.
The two teams tip off at 7:10 p.m. in Boise, Idaho.
