Calipari swag so hard

Wonder what happens last year without Noel going down

Tears in Charlottesville but maybe they can steal some Maryland and DC talent now..they have a hell of a coach

Massive choke job by Louisville. 1 from lost the lead in the first half. Then losing a 5 point lead in the last 3 minutes then missing free throws at the end. NC State like.
 
Aaron Gordon is going to tip dunk on Kaminsky's head..

This shit is stressing me the fuck out. I like the way we matchup against Wisconsin and I feel like our advantage in athleticism is gonna be apparent from tipoff, but judging by how slow we started out the gates in the SDSU game, I'm not sure if the intensity will be there. Oregon exploited some of Wiscy's weaknesses, and I'm confident that if we manage to get a double digit lead we aren't as likely to give it up like the Ducks did, but if the reverse is the case, Johnson's shooting struggles continue, and we aren't moving enough on offense, I'm not sure we can come back from a reasonable deficit.

It's either Wisconsin wins a close game, or Zona will bomb the Badgers.. I'm still not sold on them.. Michigan has some athletes but no bigs.. So the Kentucky game is a tossup even without WCS.. But I think MSU will win it all.. They are the best team IMO... They destroyed Michigan in the Big 10 championship..

I don't mind our matchup with Michigan. We'll have a big advantage inside with Randle and Dakari beasting.

But Michigan could light us up from deep. We aren't great at guarding the perimeter.

I'm so happy for Randle. All the talk of Wiggins and Jabari and other freshmen, and yet all Randle's done in the tourney is rack up double doubles and play really well. Dude is legit.

It will be interesting. UM has handled the inside fairly well against Texas and Tennessee. UK is more talented though. It's an even match-up in my book.

I think we'll get some good stuff inside. When we played Tennessee we controlled them the whole game by double digits.

But Michigan's wings are really good. Not sure we can guard them. We struggled with Luke Hancock....Levert and Stauskas are 10 times better and more versatile than him. Plus Walton and Irvin are playing really well and all four can knock it down from deep.

Hopefully Michigan has used up all their perimeter magic and are ice cold Sunday. If so, I think we win comfortably by 8-10. If they're scorching the nets, then it's either going to be another pull a win out of our asses, or the magic ride finally ends.

Dear lord, god in heaven, whoever, whatever you are, please heal WCS.

edit: btw, fuck all these commercials. Was there a single uninterrupted gameplay section of 4 minutes or more?

Yeah, I'm prepared for WCS to be done for the year sadly.

And you're right about commercials. But the real problem is the number of timeouts college teams get. I've thought for a long time now they need to reduce it. Teams have way too many, to the point where you hear coaches taking "use it or lose it" timeouts at the end of the first half. That combined with the TV timeouts really disrupts the flow of a game.
