The season is over for the University of Kentucky men’s basketball team.
The top-seeded Wildcats were defeated 59-57 tonight by Robert Morris University in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament.
Robert Morris jumped out to an early lead before a sellout home crowd of 3,000 in Moon Township, Pennsylvania and held off several Kentucky runs.
UK missed a three-pointer as time expired and Robert Morris fans stormed the court in celebration. The Colonials will face either Providence or Charlotte in the second round of the NIT.
