-

The nation’s highest-scoring team found out what it felt like to get overrun at the worst possible time.

The third-seeded Bruins were no match for the second-seeded Wildcats in a rematch between the teams, an 86-75 setback in an NCAA tournament South Regional semifinal ending their season far short of the intended destination.
