When: Saturday, March 19 at 5:15 pm ET on CBS
Line: Kentucky -3
Here we are.
There is no reasonable explanation for why Indiana basketball should be meeting Kentucky in the second round, but the selection committee made it so. Both teams were upset about being underseeded, and both teams took it out on their first round opponents. Indiana throttled 12th-seeded Chattanooga 99-74, and Kentucky followed that up by boatracing 13th-seeded Stony Brook 85-57.
