Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on Kentucky.

Kentucky can smell the Elite 8 after both Arizona and Virginia were ousted in the second round. Kentucky advanced by smashing Buffalo 95-75 behind 27 points, six boards and six assists from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Wildcats enter the Sweet 16 playing their best basketball of the season in riding a five-game win streak, averaging 116.6 points per 100 possessions and allowing 95.6. Kentucky gets it done across the board, leading the nation in many of the "intangibles," including a 13.8 percent block rate (18th), offensive rebounding rate of 35.6 percent (8th) and free throw rate of 43.1 percent (7th.) K-State averages 110.7 points per 100 possessions and it allows 95.5 per 100 possessions. The Wildcats advanced with a 50-43 win over UMBC, despite shooting just 38.3 percent. I have a hard time seeing the Wildcats keeping pace with the much more athletic Kentucky Wildcats who come in firing on all cylinders. We're expecting a blowout, lay the points, play on KENTUCKY.
