MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For this Kentucky team to reach peak performance, this is how it had to be.
Wichita State, a 10-seed snub by the selection committee, in the Round of 32? Bring it on. UCLA, a trendy pick to win it all as the champion in 8.64 percent of submitted brackets on ESPN.com, in the Sweet 16? Light work. And now North Carolina on Sunday at 5:05 p.m. in the Elite Eight? If Kentucky makes it to next week's Final Four in Phoenix, it will have already won two or three Final Four caliber games on the way there.
