Scheduled to tip in less than 30 minutes depending on the Loyola/Nevada conclusion time. Keep the good play going and move on to the elite 8 Saturday. Go Cats!!

With Loyola winning, it means that this is guaranteed to be the highest seed Kentucky would face before the Final Four. (As in the highest whether they advance or not)

Ready for this game to start. Handle your business.

Richards gets the ball taken away to start the game.

Cats cold early.

Going to be a battle. SGA is really going to have to work to get his drive to the baskets to work on this team.

Kentucky down early 4-0.

K-State leads 7-0 with 17:30 in the first half.

Thank God he pulled Richards!

Terrible so far.

What the hell.

Old team showing up so far. They are hotter than a pepper plant.

This appears a far cry from the Kansas State team that couldn't throw it in the ocean against UMBC. Too early to worry, but Kentucky needs to get going. K-State's strength is their defense, so you don't want them getting out to this type of lead.

Kentucky looks very tight here early two fouls on Diallo. Timeout Kentucky trailing 13-1. K-State looks lose and in a great rhythm.

K State 34% on threes for the season.
