Cornell Big Red vs. Kentucky Wildcats – Sweet 16 Preview
Thursday marks the start of the third round of the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament. Also known as the Sweet Sixteen, this is usually where the games start getting really interesting because there is so much on the line with each game. One of the most exciting games to watch this Thursday will likely be the Cornell Big Red vs. the Kentucky Wildcats.
The game will be aired by CBS Sports at the Carrier Dome and both teams will be looking to move on to the fourth round. Kentucky looks to be the favorite in the match with their stellar play as of late.
The Kentucky Wildcats played Wake Forest in the Second Round of the tournament and beat them by thirty points, 90-60. Darius Miller scored 20 points in that win DeMarcus Cousins had 19 of his own. Kentucky has been a joy to watch because you can tell that they have a lot of team chemistry and are having fun out on the court.
The Cornell Big Red come in as the underdog after upsetting Wisconsin in the second round. The top scorer of that game was Louis Dale with 26 while Ryan Wittman had 24 points to help out. They have some solid scorers and are a legitimate outside threat.
The winner of this game will go on to play the winner of the Washington Huskies vs West Virginia Mountaineers in the Elite 8. Kentucky is 0-1 versus Cornell all-time, but their lone game came in the 1966-67 season.
Look for the Cornell Big Red to give the Kentucky Wildcats a hard time. If Dale and Wittman can land their three pointers they could possibly outplay Cousins and Miller and walk away with the win.
