2015 NCAA Tournament bracket results: Kentucky marches on to Sweet 16
Surprising no one, Kentucky moves past Cincinnati with a dominant victory.


Cincinnati led 24-21 with 3:43 left in the first half, but that was when Kentucky took over, dominating with their size and strength just like they have all season. The Wildcats rattled off a 10-0 run to close the half that included a vicious and-one dunk from Willie Cauley-Stein. Tyler Ulis had his hand in seven of the 10, assisting on two shots and knocking down a jump shot of his own.
The Bearcats scored the first five points of the second half to draw within 31-28, but they never cut the deficit any smaller than three points. The game became more physical as it went along, including a technical foul on Aaron Harrison, but Kentucky won out like they always do.
Aaron Harrison led the Wildcats with 13 points and shot 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, while Trey Lyles picked up a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Besides Harrison, Kentucky struggled from deep, shooting just 4-of-15 on threes. Cincinnati failed to capitalize, hitting just 2-of-14 on their own three-pointers.
Cincinnati had advanced past Purdue 66-65 in overtime on Thursday after a Troy Caupain layup barely beat the buzzer to tie the game in regulation. Caupin just didn't have the same magic on Saturday, scoring 11 points on 4-of-17 from the field against the best defense in the nation.
In the Sweet Sixteen next weekend, Kentucky will play the winner of the matchup between West Virginia and Maryland.
