Wichita State

By far one of my favorite games of the entire season, the Kentucky Wildcats faced off with the incredibly under-seeded Wichita State Shockers in the second round of the tournament. Combined, both teams only scored 50 points in the first half, but stepped it up in the second, leading to a 65-62 victory for the Wildcats.

It was a shame these two teams faced off in the second round because Wichita State could have easily been an Elite Eight team had they not run into the rolling Wildcats.
