Gameday is here, as the Kentucky Wildcats will face off with the Iowa State Cyclones in St. Louis with a date in the Sweet 16 on the line. Game time is set for 2:45 PM ET on CBS. The Cats are 5.5-point underdogs.
After a roller coaster of a game for UK in the Round of 64, Mark Pope and his team will now hope they can pull out another win to reach the second weekend of the Big Dance. If they hope to do that, it will once again be driven by the performance of senior guard Otega Oweh.
Oweh etched his
name into NCAA Tournament history and Kentucky Basketball lore with his game on Friday afternoon. Can he do it once again? It will be tough, but it can be done.
For Iowa State, they will be looking to pull off the win without All-American big man Joshua Jefferson, who has officially been ruled out for today’s game. After suffering an ankle injury against Tennessee State on Friday, the star big man was not able to give it a go this afternoon. You hate to see the injury, but UK knows all too well about the injury bug.
Should be a fun one in St. Louis.
