During the Kentucky Wildcats’ opening round game of the 2024 NCAA Tournament on Thursday night in Pittsburgh, the 14-seed Oakland Golden Grizzlies officially began its Cinderella run following an 80-76 win over 3-seed Kentucky.

Senior guard Jack Gohlke was unconscious against the ‘Cats, raining down 10 three-pointers (one shy of tying the NCAA Tournament record) en route to 32 points. Antonio Reeves countered with 27 points of his own for UK, but a more confident Oakland team flexed its way to the program’s biggest upset in school history.

The Golden Grizzlies went 15-31 from deep. Reed Sheppard finished with just three points on 1-5 shooting for Kentucky. Oakland’s bench finished with 19 more points than the ‘Cats. Tre Mitchell chipped in 14 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out.
