Christian Post Report – The Kentucky Wildcats celebrate in a game.
Kentucky come into this game with their undefeated record still intact, having gone 35-0 this season. They have made it through to the Round of 32 following a solid victory over the Pirates on Thursday night. Even though they were made to work for their win, they simply proved too powerful for the Pirates, who eventually succumbed 79-56.
They will be massive favorites to continue their unblemished record in Kentucky today against a Bearcats team who needed a last gasp buzzer-beating score to take their game against Purdue into overtime. That proved decisive as they ran out 67-66 winners to make it here in the last 32.
The Wildcats are currently 35-0 and are tied with last season’s Wichita State team for the longest unbeaten stretch to begin a season in Division 1 history. They can surpass that today, although they should be warned, no one expected Wichita State to lose to Kentucky in the second round last year to bring their winning run to an end.
But if the Cincinnati Bearcats are going to cause a big upset they will have to find a way through the solid Wildcats defense. Kentucky have only allowed opposition teams to score an average of 54 points per game against them this season, which puts them as the third best defensive team in the nation. The Bearcats will likely have to score a significant amount more than 54 if they are to overturn the powerful Kentucky team.
