NCAA HOOPS THREAD! -- K petitions to get Maui Jim Maui Invitational moved to Transylvania (3 Viewers)

[dickey moe]

That game was nuts. Kentucky played their asses off. Would've loved to see OT. Congrats Wildcats.

 

[Premier]

UK hit those free-throws. Not many other teams have done that this weekend. Gotta give them credit.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Instant Classic

 

[hagmania]

WE'VE GOT A WILD KITTEN ON THE ROAD [insert blue and white semi]

 

[AAABatteries]

Now that that's over I hope UK beats UL by 100

 

[shadyridr]

Thats what happens when you play a real team

 

[Popinski]

Crying girl!

 

[gump]

Kentucky v Louisville may be a tough ticket.

 

[Premier]

That was a good look to win it too. What a brick.

 

[phrozen]

I'd console the crying Witcha fan

 

[hagmania]

UGH! UofL is going to get blown out by UK

best of luck gb, I sure hope so.

 

[Premier]

Ugh here come the doosh bags. That was a really good team that lost to another really good team.

 

[shadyridr]

Tourney has been great so far - albeit today has been so-so. If MSU holds on and Nova beats UCONN then we are a miss from Ennis away from all chalk in the S16 which should make for some great matchups next weekend assuming tomorrow is similar.

still gotta laugh at this post. Talk about premature ejaculation

 

[Short Corner]

LOVED the design on the play - ran it for the wrong guy

Van Vleet was the 3rd option there, hard to believe they had something beyond that to fall back on.

 

[jon_mx]

What happened. I am driving.

wait one second. Youve been touting kentucky sucks for weeks now.

 

[wazoo11]

Odds the title game ends up being Dayton-Kentucky?

 

[Ballstein]

Best game Kentucky played this year. Luck helped too.

 

[BigJohn]

If ten wins, I have a perfect Midwest bracket. Good for $250 mill?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Ridiculous that Marshall didnt draw up a play for Clean Tony Early on the last shot.

They deserve to lose just for that.

 

[AAABatteries]

I still say it's bull#### WSU had to play UK. When i do the shocker tonight on the wife it just won't be the same.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Kentucky v Louisville may be a tough ticket.

In Indianapolis where a lot of locals would go no matter who is playing. Big $$$

Yup - UK grossly under-seeded as an 8 - but Wichita was better than I expected - they deserved better than to have to play UK in the 2nd round.

Yeah, disappointing that game had to be played on opening weekend. Great to watch, not a fan of the result.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Wichita proved they were worthy. That's the best the Cats played all year. FANTASTIC college basketball game

Yup. They haven't been this good all year. I'm not some mouth breather who can't see a team getting better.

 

[tri-man 47]

Nice play design if you've got 1.5 seconds. With 3 seconds, and knowing KY would go after the shooter, they could have rolled someone to the basket and played for OT. :hindsight:

Excellent basketball game ...one of the few well-played games this weekend.

Hmm - ok. I still see a lot of great matchups. I know UCONN and UK are mid-major types so maybe you are right.

They deserve to lose just for that.

They ran him off a double flare for the first look.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Early had a huge game, but downfall for WSU was probably Van Vleet not doing much. The foul trouble likely factored in later in the game, but he was POY in whatever conference they play in. Outside of some nice steals in the first half, he was non-existent.

 

[Pipes]

I'm sure he did. Kentucky loaded with athletes and were all over Early. Highly doubtful that Van Vleet for 3 was their 1st option.

my point was you were looking forward to the all chalk sweet 16 yet there were still a ton of games left. Since then every game has gone to the underdog. Just found it funny

Nope Sinn was right....2nd round.

I think you take the first clean look, you can't be picky, but the screening big is often open shaping up down the lane when they are switching out on shooters like you said. A 3PFA > 2PFA in terms of EV, more so in this instance IMO given the foul situation and how effective UK was down the stretch offensively penetrating.

 

[AAABatteries]

They've been very impressive.

Early smiled coming out of that huddle like Jimmy Chipwood. Was sure he got the look. Baker second option. Van Vleet third.

eta* three seconds left. What do you do?

 

[Abraham]

One thing people overlook is the difficulty of actually inboundong the ball in a situation like that without getting too far from the basket. It was drawn well and a good play. He missed the shot. The end.

I guess that's true. I look at it like we have a ton of power conference teams plus Dayton (unless I'm forgetting someone). I still count Uconn and UL as power conf teams.

Id love it if Iowa St still made the F4 without Niang

Great job waiting until the game was over to come in here and talk ####.
