Kentucky looked like it was coming back from its first half deficit and taking control of Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchup, but a 9-0 run by Kansas State proved otherwise.

The run was capped with a layup by Kansas State’s Barry Brown with 13:17 left in the game and gave Kansas State a 47-38 lead.

At the time of his score, Brown had seven total points, two assists and two rebounds.
