The Wildcats played the Bruins twice this season, losing the regular season meeting 97-92 in a fantastic game. However, their postseason matchup was an 86-75 win for Kentucky to send the Wildcats to the Elite Eight.

This game brought all the hype that you would expect two of the most storied programs in college basketball history to bring with them – especially seeing as Lonzo Ball, Malik Monk, and De’Aaron Fox are all expected to be top 10 picks in the 2017 NBA Draft.
