Kentucky took on Wisconsin today in a Final Four game on the NCAA basketball tournament schedule. The Kentucky Wildcats were a number one seed and are attempting to finish the season undefeated and add their name to the history books. The Wisconsin Badgers are also a number one seed and represented one of the toughest tests Kentucky has faced this season. The game was a close one, with the final score catching some fans off guard.
Notre Dame nearly ended Kentucky’s run in the Elite Eight, with the close game being decided by a 68-66 final score. Aaron Harrison continues to lead the Wildcats in average scoring per game, and the team will need him at his best in order to notch another victory tonight. Wisconsin is on a ten game win streak and dispensed with Arizona by a fairly easy 85-78 final score, but now faced the task of pulling off a historic upset.
In the end, Wisconsin was able to do just that, defeating Kentucky by a 71-64 final score. The win propels the Badgers into the championship game against Duke, and sends the Wildcats from a potentially historic season into instead being a historic footnote.
