From the strange-but-true file: Kentucky has played in more NCAA Tournament games than any program. Kansas City, Mo., has played host to more NCAA Tournament games than any city. Yet Kentucky has never played an NCAA Tournament game in Kansas City.
Huh?
“It’s just weird to me,” said Blair Kerkhoff, who has covered college basketball for the Kansas City Star for 30 years. “Kansas has played NCAA Tournament games in Lexington and Louisville. But Kentucky has never been to Kansas City.”
Of course, by beating Wofford on Saturday, Kentucky would advance to the Midwest Region semifinals in Kansas City this coming week.
