It’s been three years since Fred VanVleet’s contested three-pointer rang around the rim to end Wichita State’s undefeated season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Now the world wants to see the Shockers get a shot at second round revenge against Kentucky.

No second round matchup is more intriguing to Matt Norlander than the Shockers and the Cats.
