Kentucky Relies On Defense To Outlast Wichita State, 65-62

... the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16. The youngest team in March Madness grew up in the closing minutes on Sunday and sent Wichita State to yet another second-round heartbreak, 65-62 in a South Regional game. “They're young, but they have a will to win and play with courage and are skilled basketball players and great kids who share,” Coach John Calipari said. The freshman trio made all of the significant plays in the final minutes. De'Aaron Fox had 14 points, including a late steal and dunk. Malik Monk blocked a shot and made two free throws in the final 13 seconds. Adebayo had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and he finished it off by swatting away Landry Shamet's three-point attempt as it left his hand with less than a second left. “He pump-faked, and I knew he had to shoot it so I just went up and tried to block it,” Adebayo said. As simple as that. Kentucky (31-5) moved into the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in nine years. The Shockers (31-5) were wiping away tears after another crushing second-round ...

... from the starting pitching rotation of junior Erich Uelmen and sophomores Spencer Howard and Cam Schneider. Junior outfielder Colby Barrick also wrapped up a strong weekend offensively with his third consecutive multi-hit game. The transfer from Allan Hancock College tallied two singles Sunday to finish the weekend 7-for-11 with a double and two RBI. “If we can scratch a couple (runs) for a guy like Uelmen or Howard or pretty much anyone on our staff,” Barrick said, “… we’re pretty much set because we have a lot of trust in those guys that they’re going to do their job.”. Wichita State (11-8) broke the scoreless tie with one run in the fourth inning and added another in the fifth when Bryant Klusener hit an RBI double down the left field line — his first hit of the season — to give the visitors a 2-0 advantage.

Sweet 16-bound? Wichita State Must Play Better To Get There

... Sweet 16 via bracket-shattering upset and an opportunity to prove the selection committee, and the rest of its doubters, wrong. Just one problem. The Shockers won't alter any perceptions or advance if they bring Friday's effort against a Kentucky squad, assuming the Wildcats beat Northern Kentucky on Friday night, with a pair of possible future NBA lottery picks named Malik Monk and De'Aaron Fox. In the first half of Friday's win, Wichita State finished 2-for-12 from the 3-point line and 10-for-28 overall. The Shockers put together an impeccable defensive effort in the second half, holding the Flyers to an 8-for-29 shooting clip. But Dayton's engine is not comparable to a Kentucky offense ranked eighth in adjusted offensive efficiency. Fox's speed, Monk's explosiveness and a roster that features six players 6-foot-9 or taller will present problems on both ends of the floor for the Shockers. You can't go 6-for-20 from beyond the arc (19-for-48 ...

... game.”. And they were the tougher team. Dayton (24-8) came in with a wealth of experience, playing in its school-record fourth consecutive NCAA tournament. The Flyers start three seniors and have five overall, with a lot of shared tournament moments. This one ranks at the bottom. The seventh-seeded Flyers were held to a season low in points and shot a season-low 31% from the field.
