NCAA Tournament: Kentucky basketball’s three keys to beating UCLA

Three keys for Kentucky in Friday night’s game against UCLA:

1. Keep UCLA from going crazy from three

Kentucky guard Isaiah Briscoe was asked Thursday what the Cats learned from the first game. You know, the game UK lost to UCLA 97-92 at Rupp Arena back on Dec. 3. It was the game that snapped Kentucky’s 42-game home winning streak.

“We learned they had good three-point shooters,” Briscoe said.

The Bruins made 10 of 23 beyond that arc that Saturday afternoon. Isaac Hamilton, who led the Bruins with 19 points, hit three of five threes.
