INDIANAPOLIS - Kentucky basketball's March Madness run is finished after just one game.
The Wildcats became just the 10th No. 2 seed to lose to a No. 15 seed in NCAA Tournament history with a 85-79 loss to Saint Peter's in its March Madness opener.
Despite Kentucky's considerable advantage in professional-level talent and depth, the two teams were tied at 37 after one half. Kentucky briefly looked on the verge of pulling away after taking a six-point lead with 4:12 remaining, but Saint Peter's scored the next seven points to gain a 69-68 advantage on a Doug Edert 3 with 1:25 remaining.
