Kentucky has a shot at March madness Revenge Against West Virginia
Kentucky has a shot at March madness Revenge Against West VirginiaThe Kentucky Wildcats barely survived the Princeton Tigers in the first game of the NCAA Tournament, as they made a shot at the buzzer to win the game. They will have more motivation in the next round when they play a West Virginia team that knocked them out of the tournament a year ago.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the College Basketball and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

Kentucky knows all about the Mountaineers, having lost to them 73-66 last season as a No. 1 seed in a regional final. Well, maybe a few of the Wildcats know all about those Mountaineers because this is a young Kentucky team that heavily relies on a trio of freshmen and others who weren’t key contributors last season.

Freshman point guard Brandon Knight, who made his only basket against Princeton count as he drove to the hoop for the winning score with two seconds left, will be under pressure from West Virginia’s combination junior Truck Bryant and fifth-year senior Joe Mazzulla. It was Mazulla who was a major pain for the Wildcats last season as he stepped in for the injured Bryant and put in a then-career-high 17 points in the regional final victory over Kentucky.

Kentucky will take a seven-game winning streak into the third round of the NCAA Tournament after capturing the SEC tourney and surviving a second-round NCAA Tournament game against Princeton (the First Four in Dayton is now considered the first round).

The Wildcats are putting pressure on Knight to get it done as the point guard as a freshman, but he responded in game one although he had a bad shooting percentage. The Wildcats will use the motivation of losing a year ago and take down West Virginia in this game.
