KANSAS CITY, Mo. The players flooded off the Texas bench, right past interim coach Rodney Terry and to the middle of the court inside T-Mobile Center, where they couldn t wait to get their hands on the trophy crowning them Big 12 champions.
The Kentucky Wildcats are just hours away from taking the court in their opening round matchup against Saint Peter’s in the NCAA Tournament and they need to get their mojo back after that disappointing loss to Tennessee in the SEC Tourney. WUKY SportsPage podcast host Keith Elkins and Alan Lytle discuss the keys of the game.
OK, OK, so the Kentucky Wildcats are not in the same region as the Golden State Warriors. They won't play Villanova in Philadelphia or reprise the UK-Duke "I Hate Laettner" matchup just for Coach K's retirement sake.
