"Gotta go slow!"
-Wisconsin

 

[DominoKid]

Joel Berry is going to woooork

 

[iamblades]

Wisconsin might be in trouble.

They can't consistently get good shots on the perimeter vs an athletically superior defense, which is why I have said that Wiscy isn't all that scary for UK.

If they win, it will have to be by pounding the ball inside and eating off the glass. Good luck doing that vs UK.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sconi gonna Sconi

 

[M.W.]

My gut feeling was right. I don't see Wiscy winning this.

They have to get past AZ first if they even win this game.

Marcus Paige scoring over the top of Sam Dekker. UNC feeling themselves right now.

 

[M.W.]

UNC is dominating. WI looks like Michigan right now

Yes, I'm aware of that. I was just talking about the media talk pre tourney about which teams were the biggest threat to UK. I've said before that Zona is way way scarier than the media favorites wisc or gonzaga.

UK also has some work ahead of it before that is even a potential matchup as well.

I see. People really thought Wisc and Gonzaga would be scary to KY? lol oh my, the media sometimes.

I feel like a lot of people were giving Arizona more credit than Gonzaga.

I am honestly surprised that so many commentators think we'll compete/UK fans being nervous. Even if we do force a lot of turnovers, an offense based on driving the lane, throwing up a shot, and praying for an offensive rebound doesn't seem like it would be very effective tonight.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Now Frank's out...

This could get ugly if Sconi's not careful

EDIT: nvm, he's back. Still could get ugly

Kentucky gon beatthe shitoutta yall man

 

[TJ Verboten]

Wisky punching back right when they need it.
Could be a terrific finish to this game.

Just could be a ton of turnovers if we can't handle the press (and a ton of layups for WVU).

And Huggins kinda scares me. He beat John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Patrick Patterson in 2010. Just never know what could happen.

On paper that pressing style doesn't seem like it will be effective vs UK. UK hasn't really had problems with the press most of the year.

They don't play the games on paper though.

Winning the possession battle seems to be mandatory for WVU though, I don't see them beating UK in a pure efficiency battle.

 

[Dosia]

Hopefully this game has a few OTs and the Cats take care of business.

 

[Mac the KNife]

That's the fastest I've ever seen Wisconsin move ever.

 

[Fjordson]

Whoa Wisconsin already back.

 

[Sgt.EntryEnass]

Awesome non timeout call by Roy
Everyone was confused when he didn't call it

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[Rainy]

Wisconsin made their move.

 

[iamblades]

UNC just like stopped playing on both sides of the ball suddenly.

That last defensive possession was just shameful effort, all 5 guys standing straight up, no one in a stance at all.

Yep

 

[Trigonx]

I can't believe how many fouls/turnovers Wisconsin has today and are still winning.

 

[Cloudy]

This Dekker dude is saving Wisconsin's ass

 

[DominoKid]

Hello paige

 

[Renji_11]

If Carolina didn't melt down at the end of games so much this year they would of been a 2 seed probably.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Go Heels!

 

[Cloudy]

Terrible possession by the Badgers. Up 5, go inside

 

[DarkFlow]

Now the timeout/foul game begin's.

 

[Mrbob]

Dekker is going to be a good pro player.

 

[Future PhaZe]

how is UNC not just zoning inside? Wisconsin isn't shooting well enough from the outside to keep giving them the paint like they are

 

[Mac the KNife]

Dekker, yep.

 

[Cloudy]

Dekker with amazing footwork

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Hi Paige!!!

 

[M.W.]

Still see UNC winning this. Lol

 

[Enron]

daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

1 seed. This team underplayed all season

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Heroball Paige about to bail these dudes out smh

 

[Future PhaZe]

 

[Rainy]

Paige bailing them out!

 

[ErasureAcer]

Tar HEEEEELS

Alright Kevin Harlan. That's enough.

 

[PhoenixDark]

[Surge]

Huge 3 pointer

 

[Mrbob]

UNC so lucky tonight from 3. They are probably going to win.
