TAMPA, Fla. – This weekend's battle between West Virginia and Kentucky in the third round of the NCAA tournament is a re-match of last year's game in the Elite 8, which saw UK bumped from the Big Dance.

Junior guard Darryl Bryant remembers the Mountaineers' win, although he was sitting on the bench with a fractured foot.

"I think we'll be very ready to play and I know our coaching staff is going to get after the scouting reports. And we're just going to go back to the hotel, rest, and just get ready to play that game on Saturday."

Kentucky's Darius Miller is also eager to watch some video of this latest opponent.

"I don't know what all to expect. I know they're going to have talented players and like I said, they're going to be tough."

Saturday's game in Tampa tips off at 12:15 eastern time.
