The Kansas State Wildcats avoided getting upset by the UMBC Retrievers last night, setting Kentucky up with another all-Wildcats matchup in the NCAA Tournament.
This will be the second Wildcats vs. Wildcats game for UK this tournament, with the first one being in the Round of 64 against the Davidson Wildcats.
These Wildcats are the No. 9 seed in the region. They defeated No. 8 seed Creighton and No. 16 UMBC to get this far. This assures that a Wildcat team will make the Elite Eight. With how this tournament has gone so far, there’s no telling which one it will be.
