It's time for the top overall seed to take the court. No. 1 Kentucky battles No. 16 Western Kentucky, a team that just pulled off an incredible comeback on Tuesday night in the "First Four" games.
We already saw No. 1 Syracuse nearly get upset, but the Orange barely squeaked by No. 16 UNC-Asheville to advance to the next round. Will Western Kentucky give John Calipari's Wildcats a scare?
As the night goes along, we'll watch as No. 10 West Virginia will try to upset No. 7 Gonzaga. Is that enough? Of course not. Stay tuned to this space for everything you'll need to know about the matchups between Wichita State-VCU and Baylor-South Dakota State.

| @ RTCSouthRegion : Great effort from the Jackrabbits, but they come up shy. They did their state proud in their first NCAA appearance though. #NCAAABQ |
White misses a long 3 for te Jackrabbits and the ball goes out of bounds. Looks like Baylor has this one sealed up.
| @ SethDavisHoops : South Dakota State putting up a good fight. Down four with 33 secs left. Nice rebound by Heslip for BU headed to line. |
Jackson misses a jumper with 30 seconds left. Jackrabbits have the ball and misses a 20-footer. Heslip gets the rebound and gets fouled immediately.
A.J Walton gets called for his fourth foul (offensive) for hooking the defenders arm and pushing off. Great catch by the referee. 64-57 Baylor with 1:22 left.
|
| @ SethDavisHoops : Looks like my Jackrabbits are running out of gas. Down 10 pts with three minutes to play. Do you believe in miracles? |
Quincy Miller gets the ball at the low post and makes an easy layup for extend the lead to 10.
Heslip nails a HUGE 3-pointer to put Baylor up by 10. Baylor is called for basket interference on a Wolters layup for touching the net during the shot. Good call by the referee to catch that. 62-54 Baylor with 4:27 left.
Quincy Acy just picked up his 4th personal foul and is on the bench. Baylor leads 59-52.
Jackrabbits are still hanging in there. Not going away. Baylor leads 57-50 with 6:20 left.
Hard foul by Baylor on a Jackrabbits fast break. Could have called a flagrant in my opinion.
Wolters goes one for two from the line. 55-48 Bears.

| @ RTCSouthRegion : Well, Quincy Miller finally showed up - back to back hoops and the Bears are again building a little cushion, up 8. #NCAAABQ |
|
| @ RTCSouthRegion : For long stretches of time, Baylor plays such bad basketball that it is laughable. Just terrible decision making. #NCAAABQ |
|
| @ RTCSouthRegion : With the VCU game in the books, full attention back to Baylor/SDSU, where Perry Jones hasn't scored and has been largely invisible. #NCAAABQ |
|
| @ SethDavisHoops : Here we go! Wichita State down three with the ball, 12 seconds to play. I'll bet Marshall is drawing up a three for Ragland in the huddle. |
| @ RTCSouthRegion : Darius Theus... with... the... roll... Wichita has to go for two here, right? #ncaaPortland |
Theus throws up a floater and ITS GOOD. 3 point game with 12 seconds left. Wichita State calls timeout.
