MARCH MADNESS: Kentucky to Face Princeton
The Kentucky Wildcats face Princeton on Thursday in Tampa, Florida, in the second round of the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament.
The Wildcats are riding a six-game winning streak.
They are led by guard Brandon Knight, and forward Terrence Jones. Knight, a freshman, played high school basketball in Fort Lauderdale.
Second-year Kentucky coach John Calipari will try to make sure that Princeton doesn't pull of the upset. The Tigers have a history of giving big-name opponents trouble in the tournament.
Princeton has won five of their last six games.
They are led by 6'8 senior forward Kareem Maddox. Guard Douglas Davis scored the game-winning shot against Harvard in Princeton's last game.
The Tigers have four players averaging double-digit points per game.
Kentucky is the fourth seed, while Princeton is the 13th seed.
