Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, who ranked the Kentucky Wildcats really low earlier in the week, now has the Cats and Kansas State ranked as the 6th best game of the Sweet 16.
Keep in mind there are only 8 games.
6. No. 5 Kentucky vs. No. 9 Kansas State (South). LINE: KENTUCKY -5.5.
These programs combine for 60 Sweet 16 showings, the most of any two teams playing each other in the regional semifinals. K-State has a better program historically than it gets credit for, but when compared to UK, it’s blindingly pale.
