Defensive/Offensive		 8/29 5/20
Blocks/Steals 5/0 0/5
Turnovers 39 5

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

Kentucky couldn't get it done on the boards, so they got it done by forcing 39 turnovers from the Rams and 50 points off of those turnovers. Kentucky shot just 11% when they got the ball not from a turnover. Either way the streak lives on.

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

DePaul couldn't take advantage of a 46-20 rebounding advantage, nor 31 turnovers. However, Virginia Tech took advantage of 35 turnovers, scoring 47 from them to take this game. If it weren't for DePaul's early success, they'd have no chance for the Dance.

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

The Hokies took a page from DePaul's last game. They owned the 48-19 board advantage over Kentucky, but failed to take advantage. Kentukcy couldn't win this one on turnovers but on 72% shooting, and 17/17 from the charity stripe. Kentucky's winning streak is now 10 games going into the Big Dance.
