BY Neil Mehta

The #1 Kentucky Wildcats And The #4 Duke Blue Devils Suffered Their First Losses On Tuesday.

Jabari Parker And Andrew Wiggins Fighting For The Rebound.

The #1 Kentucky Wildcats began their game against the #2 Michigan State Spartans on a slow start. The Wildcats were down 44-32 as the half. But then Julius Randle was born. Randle ignited the Wildcats and he finished the night with 27 points and 11 rebounds. James Young also was spectacular with a 19 point, 4 rebound performance  Even though Kentucky outscored Michigan State 42- 34 in the second half, the Spartans came out on top 78-74.  Andrew Wiggins and the #5 Kansas Jayhawks were also victorious on Tuesday. #4 Duke led 42-40 at halftime, but Kansas outscored Duke 54-41 in the second half. The 94-83 win was closer that the score represents. Duke’s Jabari Parker had a 27 point, 9 rebound performance. While, Amile Jefferson also had 17 points and 2 rebounds. But Perry Ellis, Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden Jr were to much for the Blue Devils. They combined for 61 points and 23 rebounds. This was the first meeting by Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, a rivalry that should continue to the NBA.  Another upset includes, #20 Wisconsin beating the #11 Florida, 59-53.
