When has UK shown up through their first 35 games?... unless we're counting choking to UF.

They looked pretty good in the SEC Tournament. They looked good earlier this year against Michigan State and beat Louisville. They also beat Providence earlier this season at the Barclay Center. The same Providence team that almost upset UNC.
I don't think there's any reason to think they can't compete with Wichita State from a matchup perspective. I don't know if they win, especially with Andrew Harrison injured. And it's entirely possible they don't show up, because they have been inconsistent in the past. But let's not act like they haven't beat NCAA Tournament quality teams on their schedule.

I am no UK lover, but obviously they did enough right to actually make the tourney. So I would say through the first 35 games they earned an 8 seed and handled a gritty kstate team pretty easily after having a good showing at the SEC tourney.
I was at the Mizzou/UK game in Columbia, it was a sellout and our crowd was actually in the game. Mizzou played pretty well that game and UK still handled us.
The potential is there and they have shown flashes and appear to be getting better. I don't think Wichita State has the horses inside to keep up. If WSU shoots 60 some percent from behind the arc then that is a different story...
