Second round: ATLANTA -- For the first time in four years, the Kentucky Wildcats aren't a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. It looks like they're taking it
personally.
Second-seeded Kentucky extended its month of domination with another
double-figure victory Sunday, routing No. 10 seed Saint Louis 88-61 in the
second round of the South Regional.
The Wildcats (31-4) scored the first 10 points of the game, then destroyed
the Billikens (22-11) with a five-minute stretch later in the half that was a
thing of beauty.
First round: ATLANTA -- After 35 minutes of struggling, Larry Hughes
started living up to the hype.
The Saint Louis guard, touted as one of the country's best
freshmen, scored his team's final nine points Friday to lead the
10th-seeded Billikens to a 51-46 victory over No. 7 seed
Massachusetts in the first round of the South Regional.
It was a clunker of a game, but it was good enough to advance Saint
Louis (22-10) to the second round against second-seeded
Kentucky, an 82-67 winner over South Carolina State earlier in the
day.
