Kentucky mens basketball lost to Kansas State 75-69 on Sunday afternoon to end the 2022-2023 season and miss out on its first Sweet Sixteen since 2019.
Even though Cason Wallace and Oscar Tshiebwe shined even in defeat, it was the lack of support from other key players that led to the Wildcats failing to get past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Tshiebwe, as he has so often this season, was the key factor against Kansas State. In what was possibly his last game in Kentucky blue, Tshiebwe scored 25 points and racked up 18 boards.
