LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky's out. We all know that. The Wildcats' early exit from the NCAA Tournament is no less shocking than it was a week ago. That doesn't mean you should turn off the Big Dance, however. Not when things are about to get interesting.
With that in mind, here's a guide to who Kentucky fans should be rooting for, ranked 1 to 16, when Sweet 16 play begins Thursday night.
1. Saint Peter's. They are, after all, the Peacocks, the New Jersey upstarts who bounced John Calipari from the proceedings last week. Saint Peter's is only the third No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16. If Shaheen Holloway's team continues its Cinderella run, maybe UK fans won't feel quite so bad.
