CNN
Oakland University takes down Kentucky and advances to the second round for the first time.
Another high seed has fallen in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Kentucky, the No. 3 seed in the South Region, was stunned by No. 14 seed Oakland University 80-76 in the first round on Thursday at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Golden Grizzlies were led by senior guard Jack Gohlke, who finished with 32 points. Gohlke’s 10 three-pointers are tied for the second most in an NCAA tournament game. The record was set by Jeff Fryer of Loyola Marymount in 1990 with 11. Oakland advances to the second round for the first time in the history of the southeastern Michigan school. Golden Grizzlies head coach Greg Kampe, who is in his 40th year coaching the program, nodded his head towards Gohlke when asked how they achieved this unlikely win. “This guy right here. He had no conscience,” Kampe told the CBS Sports broadcast. “We talked all week: ‘Just go shoot it, baby. You’re the best.’ And he’s the best, and he proved it to the world tonight.
