Kentucky advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a thrilling overtime victory, secured by Otega Oweh's clutch banked three-pointer. The Wildcats now face a crucial matchup against No. 2 seed Iowa State. The Cyclones' chances may be impacted by an ankle injury to their All-American forward, Joshua Jefferson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
The winner of this St. Louis matchup will earn a spot in the Sweet 16, scheduled to compete in Chicago next week against the winner of the Virginia-Tennessee game. Iowa State's coach indicated Jefferson's playing status is uncertain, while Jefferson himself stated he needs to feel completely himself to participate.
Predictions suggest a close contest, with Iowa State favored even with Jefferson's potential absence. Both teams have faced injury concerns, with Kentucky's starting point guard Jaland Lowe out since January and Jayden Quaintance also sidelined. The game is set to tip off at 2:45 p.m. ET on CBS and will stream on Paramount+.
