The Wildcats have advanced past the first round of the NCAA Tournament, so what’s next on the 2023 Kentucky March Madness schedule?

No. 6 seed Kentucky had a strong first-round game, eliminating the Providence Friars, 61-53. That will send them on to their next game in the Round of 32.

So what’s next for the Wildcats in their quest for a ninth NCAA Tournament championship? They’ll take a team from the Big 12 that a lot of people have marked as a sleeper to possibly win the whole tournament.
