Kentucky's Guard Trio Ignites March Upset Potential

0:00A March 1st Kentucky's basketball team started the season ranked number 9, but stumbled hard with 10 losses in 29 games, including early. Defeats to top teams like Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, and Gonzaga that dropped the wildcats from championship talk to just hoping for a solid tournament seed maybe around number 6. Lately though, their back core has turned things around. Colin Chandler has heated up from beyond the arc, heating over half his threes in the last four games after struggling early. He's now the top three-point shooter in southeastern conference play, and nearly 50%. Meanwhile, Denzel Aberdeen stepped up as the full-time point guard after injuries to others. He was a shooting guard coming in, but has averaged 16 points in 16 assists, with just one turnover over those recent games, all while. Locking down on defense. Otega Owa has also found his groove, boosting his scoring to over 20 points per game in conference matchups, 5th best in the league.

Coach Mark Pope raves about their growth and poise, saying they've got high ceilings. As selections Sunday in the years of March 15th, this guard trio gives Kentucky real march of set potential that could haunt higher seeds. Still march of set potential that could haunt higher seeds.
