After playing some extra minutes when regulation wasn’t enough, UK Hoops outlasted Hampton 66-62 and move on to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats faced Hampton yesterday in the first round and now look on to North Carolina tomorrow.
“They really gave us a tough, tough contest today, so my hat’s off to Hampton,” Wildcats coach Matthew Mitchell said. “I am extremely proud of the Kentucky team for finding a way to win this game.”
“As deep as we are, we all stepped up to the challenge and Coach has been pushing us in practice, getting us ready for tough games like this,” Keyla Snowden said. “Everybody stepped up and did their part.”
