NCAA March Madness 3rd Round: Sunday

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Wow, Big Willie.

Cleanthony freaking Early. Good Lord.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

That's how Kentucky is supposed to dunk on other people!

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

What I wouldn't give for a true PG.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Exciting first half

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

I love Greg Marshall as a coach. I'd trade him for Cal, right now straight up.

Cleanthony freaking Early. Good Lord.

I don't think we'd have an answer for him--and he's tormenting kentucky, a team with a lot of size. The Shocker PG is good--great court awareness. Isn't he 26 years old or somesuch. Anybody see our game with the shockers? I know we lost by 9.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

UK storming out of the 2nd half.

 

[GBO18]

UK has a size advantage inside against Early. Should be going inside everytime.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Killer ball game.

I always found that argument bizarre. I could give a crap as to who you faced on your road there, that's a great accomplishment.

In general, I agree.

In the case of keeping a bad coach based on a run of beating bad teams at the expense of setting your program back, I do not.

I'm of the belief beating four sub .500 teams and Missouri, Iowa, Mass and Mercer might still be worthy of being fired. I was hoping he'd have to actually beat good teams to make it to the Sweet 16. Not Missouri, Iowa who lost 6 of their last 7, Mass who was incorrectly seeded and Mercer upsetting Duke for us.

In general, I don't care what route it takes to win it all. But when a coach consistently beats nobody good and gets to the Sweet 16 in the easiest route possible for another season, possibly extension... wtf. All he proved was he can beat bad teams/programs. I want to actually beat good teams to see if he belongs.

I'm in the minority on this though so it's whatevs. Also, f Kentucky.

And Vols just avoided a series sweep in baseball. Suck it, Auburn!

 

[YankeeVol]

UK keeping it close

What does anyone know about this Wichita State Luke Skywalker #31? Truly startling to see on closeups.

 

[Aesius]

UK wins this. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in the FF.

 

[LittleCat]

UK wins this. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in the FF.

Has this UK team won a nailbiter this year? I honestly can't remember. Don't like their chances if it comes down to the buzzer.

 

[govols120]

Rooting for Wichita is just too easy. I love watching this group play

Yes

Arkansas game.

Sadly I agree. If they win vs us then I hope they win it all.

Said the same thing to my wife 15 min ago when UK made their run to take the lead. Cal's teams almost always grow up at the end of the season. The schedule they play doesn't always bode well for W's and L's but it bodes well for when it counts.

 

[Spartacavolus]

what a fun game to watch

 

[UTK]

The shockers are feeling it

 

[govols120]

Cleanthony Early don't care

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Early is feeling it

FYP. He has carried them through the UK run.
