Kansas State Heads to Elite Eight With Kentucky Upset

No. 9 Kansas State beat No. 5 Kentucky 61–58 to move on to the Elite Eight.

It was Kansas State's first win over Kentucky in program history.

After a few No. 1 seeds and other likely winners went down, Kentucky was the big favorite to win it all.

Bruce Weber's Wildcats opened with a 13–1 lead to start the game. Kentucky struggled coming back the rest of the game.

Both teams struggled with fouls: Kansas State has had three players foul out, including star Xavier Sneed who fouled out in the final minute.
