| The Wildcats celebrate their win over West Virginia. |
Last seasons, the West Virginia Mountaineers beat the Kentucky Wildcats in the Elite 8, this year, the Wildcats were looking for revenge. Well, they got it, the Wildcats beat West Virginia, 71-63, and advance to the Sweet 16.
Kentucky was down 41-33 at halftime, but went on an 11-0 run to make it 44-41 with 14:18 to go. It would go back-and-forth from there, until about 1 minute was left with the 'Cats up by 4, WVU had to start fouling soon after that, allowing UK to keep their lead and get the win.
Brandon Knight, who was Thursday's hero, had 30 points today, much better than the 2nd round game in which he had only 2 points. Josh Harrellson had 15 points and rebounds as his impressiveness continues. Terrence Jones had a double-double, with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
For the Mountaineers, Joe Mazzulla had 20 points, Bryant had 15, and Mitchell added 11.
UK will play the winner of the Ohio State vs. George Mason, that game will be I think Monday, but I am not sure. I know the game will most likely be at night, and televised on CBS. If it is Ohio State vs. Kentucky, that is two SWO Sports teams, pretty awesome. I guess I will have to make the font color purple, because blue + scarlet=purple.
