First round: ATLANTA -- Kentucky's front line, led by Nazr Mohammed with 18 points, overpowered South Carolina State and gave the Wildcats their first NCAA
Tournament victory under coach Tubby Smith, 82-67 Friday in the first round of
the South Regional.
Second-seeded Kentucky (30-4) had too much size and depth for South Carolina
State (22-8), which saw its forwards and centers take a pounding.
Kentucky, which won the Southeastern Conference's regular-season and
tournament titles, dominated the final 10 minutes of the first half, building a
43-28 lead against the overmatched champion of the Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference.
