The Kentucky Wildcats kicked off the 2023 NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament against the Providence Friars, advancing to the next round and facing off against another team representing a college basketball state powerhouse, the Kansas State Wildcats.  KSU is the last school in the state standing after No. 1 seed Kansas was knocked out of the tournament Saturday night by Arkansas.

Kentucky was listed as a -2.5 favorite in this one.  They owned a 22-11 record straight up but were sitting right at the .500 mark Against The Spread.

Oscar Tshiebwe collected a season-best 25 rebounds in the game against Providence.  Antonio Reeves scored 22 points and Toppin added 18 against Providence.

In the end, it wasn't meant to be as the other Wildcats team, Kansas State, walked away with the 75-69 win.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
