Kentucky is trying to bounce back from a rough end to the regular season. The Wildcats lost three of their last four games, with all four coming against ranked SEC opponents. That included their 69-65 loss to Oklahoma in the SEC tournament. Oklahoma is also a tournament team this season, as a three seed in the same bracket as Kentucky.
Liberty got rolling late to earn its ticket to the tournament. The Flames won their last 11 games to close out the season, which includes three wins in the Conference USA tournament. Liberty was the top seed in that tournament, beating second seed Middle Tennessee 53-48 in the championship last Saturday.
The winner of this game will go on to face the winner of the game between five-seed Kansas State and 12-seed Fairfield. That game will also be played on Friday afternoon, also in Lexington following this one.
Regional restrictions may apply.
