A few Knicks have a different reason this week for going wild for the Cats during this year’s March Madness.

Obi Toppin’s younger brother, Jacob, is a 6-foot-9 senior and starting forward on the current Kentucky squad. He came off the bench one year ago, when John Calipari’s second-seeded team shockingly was bounced in the Round of 64 by No. 15 seed Saint Peter’s to start the Peacocks’ captivating Cinderella run to the Elite Eight.

Kentucky, the No. 6 seed in the East Region this year, will face No. 11 Providence on Friday in Greensboro, N.C. If the Wildcats advance to the Sweet 16, they would play at Madison Square Garden on March 23, though the Knicks play that night in Orlando.

The Knicks have an off night at home on Saturday, March 25, however, during the Elite Eight.
