NCAA Tourney Running Thread

Good first half. Both teams taking punches and punching back. Should be better in the 2nd half with MKG back.

And siva, if he can control himself.

Weird half though, felt like uk should be up 15 but UL did a good job keeping it close, yet uk came back quick when UL cut it to 3. Both teams probably feel good at the half about where they are. Should be a good 2nd half.

Uk has shot 60% and UL about 30%. UL has missed dunks, fts, and is losing the turnover battle. To be down only 7 is a small victory in itself.

It is. UK should be faulted for playing soft and not putting them away when they were up 20-10.

Louisville needs this game in the 60s. Gotta buckle down on D this half.

As I keep saying they shot themselves in the foot...too many open dunks and layups allowed, missed ft, turnovers, missed dunks on their end...just bad basketball. Lucky to only be down 7 IMO.

How so?

I mean twice the game coach. I feel like Pititno understands the game of basketball much better. Calipari never impresses me with his game analysis... Overall, Pitino's not twice the coach, but I think he gets a lot more out of his players than Cal. I see Calipari similar to Bruce Pearl as far as how good of a game coach he is.

This is probably why they are 30-0 when leading at the half this year.

Very lucky. Hopefully Pitino lays into em at half

Charge call on gilchrist was bs. Other than that, no real complaints.

Time to set the tone, Cats.

That's why I'm curious how these one and done teams do starting next year, with no seniors like a miller.

IMO he's UKs MVP. Call me crazy but without Miller i see 5 or 6 losses and probably not in the final four.

now if you have a functional brain you could coach UK and win big. pitino could have won an NCAA championship with cousins and wall.

 

[LittleCat]

Fantastic run by the cats.

 

[McCat]

Dieng gettin the benefit of the doubt.

 

[McCat]

Get a flipping rebound!

Perhaps the UL uniforms are someone's April Fools joke.

 

[McCat]

Getting beat 13-2 on offensive boards is an abomination.

 

[underscore]

UL gone nasty on the boards.

 

[McCat]

15-2 now, and is the only reason they're back in it.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Holy blackshear!!

UL gone nasty on the boards.

Dieng is tall, but you gotta block out.
