MILWAUKEE — Otega Oweh scored 20 points, Andrew Carr had 13 and third-seeded Kentucky beat Troy 76-57 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Oweh added eight assists and six rebounds, and Amari Williams grabbed 13 boards for Kentucky. Next up for the 23-11 Wildcats in the Midwest Region is the winner of Illinois versus Xavier. Kentucky also was a No. 3 seed last year when it lost 80-76 to 14th-seeded Oakland in the first round. But it doesn't have a single person on its roster who played in that Oakland game, and it had no major issues against Troy this time around. Myles Rigsby scored 14 points for the 23-11 Trojans.
