What happened
In a matchup between two power-conference champions and bitter rivals that share a state border, No. 5 seed Indiana beat No. 4 Kentucky, 73–67 on Saturday. Freshman center Thomas Bryant scored a team-high 19 points, including four free throws in the final minute, while senior point guard Yogi Ferrell added 18.
Kentucky’s backcourt combination of Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray—maybe the best in the country—scored 43 of Kentucky’s 67 points, led by Ulis’s game-high 27.
