Kentucky makes Sweet 16 for first time in a decade with 74-73 win over West Virginia

[Matt Dillon]

Kentucky and West Virginia were each playing to end some lengthy Sweet 16 droughts. For Kentucky, they were seeking their first regional semifinal since 2016, and in the Sweet 16, they’d face 1-seed Texas for a shot at its fifth Elite Eight appearance, the furthest the Cats have ever gone.

For West Virginia, they were playing for their second-ever Sweet 16 appearance. They made it there in 1992, and with a win over the Cats, they’d match their best NCAA Tournament finish in program history.

UK Lost at Texas earlier this year. Not sure if we were at full strength that game. I hope we give them the fight of their lives and pull off the upset but do not expect it for sure.
