Kentucky season ends with 82-63 beating by Iowa State. Game started well for UK, then Iowa State really started defending. Bad second half for the Wildcats.

Iowa State getting easier baskets while Kentucky struggling to get shots.

After a great start, Kentucky trails Iowa State 31-30 at the half. Iowa State defense very effective, doubling the ball, and attacking the ball every time UK picks up a dribble.

Kentucky players talking to refs a lot about Iowa State guarding techniques.

Iowa State turning Kentucky over, 9-0 Iowa State run cuts UK lead to 20-18.

Kentucky defending well, Iowa State 4-14 from floor (28.6%), 0-6 from 3. Kentucky 20-9 at U12 timeout.

This is the kind of start Kentucky wanted, being up 10-2 then 10-4, instead of the usual hole UK digs for itself.

We shall see what we shall see.

From the sound of it, Iowa State fans have Kentucky folks outnumbered here in St. Louis.

Oh, yeah, Otega Oweh dropped 35 for Kentucky, 22 in the second half, and the most unreal 3 to force OT you'll ever see. Goodness gracious.

Whatcha thinking BBN, nice and smooth on the way to the round of 32? Right? Right?

Blockin' Brandon.

Danged Brandon Garrison, that shot blocking, running and dunking machine. UK 83-79 with 48.5 in OT.

Well, Oweh finally hit another 3, take it to the bank, FREE BASKETBALL.
