Kentucky easily beat Buffalo 95-75 this weekend.
Kentucky put an end to any upset talk on its watch Saturday, getting 27 points, six rebounds and six assists from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Gilgeous-Alexander went 10 for 12 and made both of his 3-point attempts to send fifth-seeded Kentucky (26-10) to the Sweet 16 for the second straight season.
”We are inexperienced and all that stuff,” Calipari said. ”But I’ve got good players.”
Kansas State had a much tougher time, only pulling away against upset-minded UMBC in the waning minutes. KSU walked away with a 50-43 victory.
Barry Brown led Kansas State with 18 points and Xavier Sneed came up with some huge plays down the stretch, including a monster dunk off an offensive rebound.
The Wildcats (24-11) move on to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2010 when they lost in the Elite Eight to Butler. They will face No. 5 Kentucky on Thursday night.
