Jack Gohlke makes 10 3s as Oakland delivers first true shock of March Madness, beating Kentucky
Associated PressPITTSBURGH — Jack Gohlke has no illusions of going to the NBA. Confident at the start and cool at the finish, Gohlke made 10 3-pointers and scored a career-high 32 points as the 14th-seeded Golden Grizzlies delivered the first true shock of this year’s March Madness, beating the third-seeded Wildcats 80-76. “We’ve been a solid team all year,” said Gohlke, who arrived at Oakland last fall after graduating from Hillsdale College. Tre Mitchell added 14 and Rob Dillingham scored 10, but the Wildcats and their roster stacked with potential NBA draft picks spent most of the night trying — and failing — to chase down Gohlke. He made 10 of 20 3-point attempts, seven in the first half, to fall one short of Jeff Fryer’s NCAA Tournament record, set in 1990 for Loyola Marymount.
