MILWAUKEE — Lamont Butler made a buzzer-beating jumper against Florida Atlantic to send San Diego State to the 2023 NCAA Tournament championship game.

Kentucky is the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region heading into its first-round game Friday with Sun Belt champion Troy.

Kentucky doesn't have a single person on its roster who played in that Oakland game.
