Watch NCAA Basketball Online East Tennessee State Vs Kentucky

Kentucky’s fabulous freshmen could come out and hit a lot of shots, as they’ve done all year.

Wall is averaging 16.9 points and 6.4 assists for the season and keeps getting better. In helping Kentucky win the Southeastern Conference tournament, he averaged 18 points, 7.7 assists and 6.3 rebounds.

ETSU just might be the type of team to create a turbulent first-round ride for the Wildcats, given their recent history. Only one year ago, the Buccaneers gave then No. 1-seed Pittsburgh a scare, trailing 59-57 with a little more than four minutes to go before falling 72-62.


“We’ve got good history in the tournament of playing close games,” ETSU coach Murry Bartow said. “Several years ago we played Cincinnati in the first round. We lost by three. Last year we played Pittsburgh, and that game went right to the wire or at least down to the last three or four minutes.”
