Kentucky-Baylor Game Day: Wildcats lead 42-22 at halftime - Chicago Tribune Mar 25th 2012, 20:13 By Shannon Ryan, Tribune reporter 2:31 p.m. CDT, March 25, 2012 ATLANTA -- Baylor didn't have to wear its day-glow uniforms to look ugly. The third-seeded Bears, in their alternate black uniforms, quickly looked overmatched and turned in a horrid halftime against  top-seeded Kentucky as the Wildcats took a 42-22 Elite Eight lead heading into the Georgia Dome locker rooms. After falling behind 10-5, Kentucky shifted into high speed and used a 16-0 run to build a 21-0 lead as the Bears failed to score in a span that lasted longer than five minutes. Kentucky, whose blue-clad fans filled the arena, shot 55.2 percent and were fueled by tournament-hot Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. The freshman forward scored 17 first-half points on 6 of 7 shooting. The performance follows up his outstanding play in the Sweet 16 against Indiana, when he scored 24 points. Anthony Davis, a Chicago native, added 14 points for the Wildcats. Baylor turned the ball over nine times and shot only 32 percent. Center Perry Jones III hit only 1 of 5 shots, the same as forward Quincy Miller. Quincy Acy led the Bears with 10 points. The winner will play No. 4 seed Louisville -- a bitter rival to Kentucky -- in New Orleans for a chance to advance to the title game. sryan@tribune.com Twitter @sryantribune This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
