Police in Frankfort, Kentucky say an Evansville man shot two Kentucky State University students on campus Tuesday afternoon, killing one and injuring another.

City officials identified the alleged shooter as 48-year-old Jacob Lee Bard in a news release Tuesday evening. Franklin County Regional Jail records showed Bard has been arrested on preliminary charges of murder and first-degree assault.

The two victims hadn’t been identified as of Tuesday night. Authorities didn’t divulge Bard’s relationship to the victims, why he was on campus, or what may have transpired leading up to the shooting, which took place about 175 miles from Evansville. Bard isn’t a student at the university.

According to a Frankfort news release, officers were dispatched to a campus dorm just before 3:15 p.m. EDT after a report of a shooting.

In the wake of Kentucky’s 94–59 loss to Gonzaga, the popular TikTok account MarchtoMarch, known for its basketball analysis and nearly 100,000 followers, posted a viral breakdown calling out what it described as one of Kentucky’s worst effort performances in recent memory.

The creator labeled the Wildcats’ outing “an absolute embarrassment,” pointing to repeated examples of poor hustle, defensive lapses, and questionable coaching decisions.

In the video, MarchtoMarch highlighted multiple plays where Kentucky failed to secure 50/50 balls, allowed uncontested layups, and showed no resistance in transition. One clip showed Gonzaga scoring easily after an offensive rebound, while another featured Kentucky failing to pick up the ball on a 3-on-2 break, leading to a free 12-foot jumper.

The critique extended to individual players, including frustration with Malachi Moreno’s slow recovery after a turnover and Otega Oweh’s lack of sprinting on defense. “He’s jogging while his man runs right past him,” the video noted.

Coaching decisions also came under scrutiny. MarchtoMarch pointed out two separate inbound plays where Kentucky placed 6-foot-10 Brandon Garrison on the passer, creating mismatches that Gonzaga immediately exploited for easy post scores.

The video concluded with a warning: with Indiana and St. John’s ahead, Kentucky could quickly fall to 6–6 if the effort and structure don’t improve.
