The Kentucky Wildcats are not having the easiest time with the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday


Without question, while there are a lot of good teams in the NCAA Tournament this year as always, all eyes are on the Kentucky Wildcats and their quest for perfection en route to a national title. However, Saturday afternoon in their game with Cincinnati, they might have hit a bit of a roadblock.

At the half, the Wildcats are up by just seven at 31-24.

After opening up their NCAA Tournament run with a very convincing win over Hampton, Kentucky is in a bit of hot water.

Now this isn’t to say that the Wildcats have not had their moments, such as this gem from the always powerful Willie Cauley-Stein with the first half winding down.


Still, the Wildcats are going to need a lot more of that, especially in the second half of this one if Cincinnati is going to keep the heat coming. This is a Bearcats team that looks determined to come away with the upset win, and they’re going to have just 20 more minutes to pull it off.

What do you think? Can Kentucky finish this one off, or will we see the biggest upset in years?
