Game Preview

Instead of the foremost topic of conversation being Kentucky’s first-round exit against Saint Peter’s last season, the chatter now revolves around the Wildcats transfer who is Providence’s star player.

Bryce Hopkins will have the opportunity to get the best form of revenge when he leads the 11th-seeded Friars against the sixth-seeded Wildcats on Friday night in first-round NCAA Tournament play at the East Region in Greensboro, N.C.

“I can’t wait to prepare for them and play them,” Hopkins said. “I’ll say hello after the game, but before the game, I’m gonna be locked in.”
