I'm having a hard time seeing what piece Kentucky is missing though. Talent across the board, but it just isn't melding the same way I suppose.

Great game on both sides. Just what we needed after a soft January.

Defense and consistent effort.

Example: that great drive by Young, crowd is hyped, but our team celebrates and jogs back. Gives up a transition layup. We can make some great plays, just have a difficult time sustaining consistent effort on defense.

We've been ranked right around 5 in the nation on Kenpom for offense. We can score the ball. But our defense is ranked much, much lower. Our talent and athleticism is plenty on offense, but that isn't enough to be good defensively.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Twins have to play better offensively to win. Aaron keeps settling for that 18 footer instead of attacking and kicking out.

 

[Silkworm]

Good game by both sides in the UF vs UK game. Kind of feels like the UF vs UTenn game except UK isn't hitting all sort of jump shots so UK's offensive game may not suffer a second half lapse like Tennessee's did.

 

[cashman]

Texas wins again. Got a tough week coming up with ISU and KU on the road. It would probably take a minor miracle to split.

 

[Seth C]

So do I get to claim it is 8 on 5 against us now? Because that traveling call against Young was blatant horse shit.

 

[Servbot24]

can't believe we lost to osu at home last week >_<

 

[Fjordson]

Time for us to make Patric Young look like Hakeem. Ugh.

 

[pxleyes]

LOL. What did Calipari say?!

 

[Seth C]

Time for us to make Patric Young look like Hakeem. Ugh.

That play they keep showing where he went diving for the ball against Tennessee was a clear foul. He took the Tennessee player's feet out from under him.

LOL. What did Calipari say?!

I'm sure he was just bitching about how the zebras are cheating for us.

 

[bachikarn]

We are one of the best teams in the nation in defending without fouling. KY is already in the bonus though.

To be fair, we are nearly leading the country in going to the line.

Michigan is the best at not fouling but the D itself is not always the best.

 

[Seth C]

And that's game. Florida has this one.

 

[Fjordson]

Can't watch anymore. Too frustrating.

That's my #2 pick in the draft!

 

[Brian Fellows]

Be patient UK fans Ullis, Booker, and Kennard will probably lead you to another national title in like 3 years

 

[Seth C]

Good game, Florida. Congrats on the win.

 

[Fjordson]

GG Florida-age. The only quality team in the SEC.

 

[Silkworm]

That my friends is indicative of this year's Gator willpower! Go Gators! Wins at Rupp and Thompson-Boiling Arena. Just awesome Also a very fine game by UK, they were neck and neck with UF until the last minute or so!

 

[pxleyes]

Great win in a seriously tough place to play and win. Judd was looking lovely tonight. Can't say enough about Scottie's ability to be clutch in the closing minutes of games. If we win a title, he will be a major reason.

That and Patric asserted himself in the 2nd half. He was very quiet in the 1st half but showed up big time in the 2nd half (as did Prather and Wilbekin in both halves). Patric's FT shooting has even improved.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Three points from Aaron.

Young disappeared after that early three in the second half, except some soft ass passes.

Didn't get the ball to Randle.

That tech on Cal was one hell of a bullshit call a ref can't make in that type of game. Such a "look at me!" move.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Texas can win 2 out of their next 4 games I'll be happy.

Nothing really missing except maybe better perimeter shooters, but a little bit of pieces not gelling correctly, and the fundamentals on this team are absolutely shit (free throws, lazy passes, terrible at boxing out on rebounds, can't contain penetration on defense) plus WCS or Poythress aren't vocal enough to be a leader, or good enough offensively to take over.

 

[Fjordson]

Much respect for Florida and Billy D. Great team to watch, sound fundamentally, lotta toughness. I'm pissed that we lost and that we aren't a contender this year, but I can't hate on the Gators.

Yeah, combined WCS and Poythress only had 2 points, so very little offensive contribution in this particular game. Poythress seemed really quiet in this game (offensively and defensively) and only played 11 min while WCS at least had 3 blocks. Was very impressed with Andrew Harrison though.

 

[djblackice]

25-0!

Alex has reverted a bit the last week or so, and even seeing some of the freshman Alex in his play lately, which is not good. WCS will probably still go first round, but Alex almost has no choice but to return, because any NBA GM that would draft him would be an idiot. His ball handling and inability to create his own shot makes him a poor SF, and he has no post moves and still soft at times makes him a poor PF. Really his only offense this year has been dunks created by others penetration, and put backs. As solid as he's been at times, I still was hoping he would be good for 10-12 ppg or so this season. His defense is still putrid as well.

Hate to absolutely blast the kid like this because he's a great kid and student, and I love him, but, the truth is the truth. :/

Syracuse has the kind of luck that would lead to believe they won't go far in the NCAA Tourney.

Seriously, they can't keep winning every single one of these close games can they?

i hope they choke and become the 1st 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed lol. fuck cuse and their people

We love you too Pittsburgh Pete.

 

[truly101]

I felt pretty confident that we would be Cuse this saturday but now with the schedule being what it is, I expect them to be incredibly tired.

Bye Terps

That's an awesome view of that play. The replays don't do it justice, but when you consider time and score, the moment and flow of the game... especially when you consider he seemed about a split second from jacking up a 3 instead... man's play.

 

[truly101]

Certainly more effective than any of the dunks Mr Brand Building Black Failcon tried last night.

 

[DominoKid]

im mostly amazed he didn't travel. those are some long ass strides.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Bo brings the Kohl center to Ann Arbor.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Gotta make some friggin shots.

 

[Servbot24]

not sure who i want to win this wisc v mich game... i don't think iowa has a realistic chance of catching up with mich so i guess i'll root for them.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Good work, Lurch. Now finish 'em.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Not much Horford could to there. He got hooked and then fucked by the ref.

 

[M.W.]

Kaminsky! Beast.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yup Kaminski was stud today. Well played Badgers.

 

[Mrbob]

Big win today. Hopefully the Badgers getting back to early season form. Had their mid year stall.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Excellent, now let's smother Nebraska and take full control of this thing.

Edit: LOL, welp.

Man, what a blown opportunity (again).

This MSU team is streaky - they have flashes of brilliance but most of the time they just shoot threes and don't rebound or defend well.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Looks like a possession arrow screw up gave Duke an extra possession.

I need more Maryland salt in my life.

 

[Servbot24]

The door is opening for Iowa.

We'll mess it up though.

 

[jakncoke]

So hows the NIT

 

[BTM]

Sorry for the loss MSU fans.

Nebrasketball is on its way up.

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Nice job Creighton and Nebraska. Knocking out top ten teams on the same day!
