Yup, already 11 point game at the half. Just thought I'd throw in another jab at the Big East while I had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Man, I was hoping for Morgan State to give West Virginia a game. Maybe Huggins threatened to make his players go to class on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Mizzou is playing really well. They have 11 steals, the press is really bothering Clemson. Of course, the ACC Tigers are 8/13 from 3, but I think that's a good sign for my Big 12 Tigers that it's tied despite that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Kentucky, I would say Cornell and Ohio have been the 2 best teams so far. Cornell played fantastic today against a great defensive team.

Soxbadger Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 That game is why you work all season to get a high seed. If Wisconsin is against a tougher opponent they may not over come that craptacular performance. Shoot under 40%, 12% from 3point line and outrebounded, not a game you should win, but thankfully a game that Wisconsin found a way to win. Hopefully they find their shot because eventually they are going to need to hit 45% or so to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Wisconsin will/would be computer favorites against Kentucky. I wouldn't sleep on them, even given a poor performance today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Good Lord, the way Wisconsin plays basketball is absolutely unwatchable. Bo Ryan is a great coach who gets everything he can out of limited talent, but basketball would not have many fans if everybody played that style. I would think Cornell has a great opportunity to win again on Sunday if they can just hit some shots like they are capable of.

A classic example of why you shouldn't always believe computers. Good luck slowing down Kentucky's pace, going to be tough to turn a game against a team with multiple 1st round draft picks into a pitchers duel.

No. But Kentucky has yet to play a team even remotely close to being as good as Wisconsin. They are definitely vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not a garbage mid-major that snuck into the tourney. I'm not surprised they hung with Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they've overcome it plenty enough. Wins against Maryland, Duke, Purdue with Hummel, Ohio State, Marquette, Michigan State...that's about as good as a profile as anyone in the country. Now are any of those teams as good as Kentucky? I'm not sure. The Wildcats have yet to beat a top tier team. They surely haven't even played a team like Wisconsin, whether that be stylistically or statistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
