Kansas State ends Kentucky's Sweet 16 hopes in March Madness upset.

No. 3 seed Kansas State defeated No. 6 seed Kentucky 75-69 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, with Markquis Nowell leading the way with 27 points and clutch 3-point shooting. Kansas State will play either No. 2 seed Marquette or No. 7 seed Michigan State in the East Regional semifinals next week. The loss ends Kentucky's season in disappointment, as the program hasn't appeared in a Sweet 16 since 2019. Kentucky's Antonio Reeves and Jacob Toppin combined for just seven points on 2-of-22 shooting in the loss.
