The Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team begins it’s March Madness journey on Thursday evening. They were awarded the three seed in the South Region and will face the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in the first round of the tournament.
Oakland went 23 – 11 on the season and was both the regular season and conference tournament champions from the Horizon League. They are a top 100 team in scoring at just over 76 points per game, and shoot, and make, a lot of three pointers.
Forward Trey Townsend leads the Golden Grizzlies and was the Horizon League Player of the Year. He averages 16.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
Kentucky’s offense will look to just outscore every team they play in the NCAA Tournament. Their defense can struggle at times, but they can put up 90 points on anyone.
Here is how to watch the Wildcats take on Oakland in their round one match-up.
