Kentucky heads to the Sweet 16

Solid start to the third day of the tourney, if a bit anticlimactic given the way that game was shaping up. UK's freshman were clutch down the stretch: from the 2-minute mark on, Brandon Knight and Terrance Jones alone went 10 for 12 from the line. That's impressive for anyone in a pressure situation, but even more so for two freshman on their first trip to the tourney.

Maybe even more impressive are these two stats: WVU was held scoreless for the first 7 minutes in the 2nd half, and scored only 2 field goals in the final seven and half minutes.

That means we get no more hook shots from Deniz Kilicli, WVU's own Turkish Tornado/Istan-Bull. Oh well, there's always next year.
