Kentucky Basketball Narrowly Escapes Wofford for Sweet 16 Spot

The Kentucky basketball team may have beaten Wofford 62-56, but the game was a lot closer than the score says.

Wofford came ready to play and gave Kentucky everything it had. However, it wasn’t quite enough.

To beat the Wildcats a team has to shoot better than 37.5 percent from the floor, 29.6 percent from the arc and 66.7 percent from the foul line.

Fletcher Magee went 0-of-12 from the arc and couldn’t get his long ball to fall. If he was hot during this game, I don’t know that Kentucky would have won, especially how the Terriers played.
