Cincinnati UK game thread

[UConn_Top_Dog]

I wonder how that Cincinnati win we had in the AAC tourney is looking to the selection committee? Cincy is no joke. That's one tough team. And we beat them twice! We should have been in this tourney. No respect smh...

Hopefully Cincy can get this win. This physical style of play might be the key.

Cinci has to make this an ugly, ugly game... Turnovers will kill them b/c Kentucky is at their best in transition.

cincy might win this game. They have the athletes

I hope cincy wins it all so the AAC can claim they had no legitimate losses in the tourney.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

A Cincy win here would be HUGE for our conference... Praying they pull it off!

This is a home game for KY. Cincy is playing well but they are getting killed with fouls.

I'm starting a new drinking game, you have to do a shot every time Verne Lundquist exclaims "whoa!" at the top of his lungs. He's up to about nine so far in the first half. I get that this is a big game but he is acting like very play is the greatest thing he has ever seen.

One thing is becoming clear to me, UK hasnt gone 35-0 thus far on player skill or coaching, but due to size and sheer elite athleticism. Whenever they get in a pickle or need a point, they simply jump over their opponents.

If it were anyone other than UK, it would be a home game for Cincy. It's about one minute longer to get to Yum! from Cincy than Lexington.

After watching Okafor last night, gotta say he's a better player as a frosh than Cauleystein is as a soph (and yes, I know it's hyphenated, but I like my spelling better).

Well that was fun while it lasted.

If UK runs into a good defensive/rebounding team that can also shoot 3's, they're in trouble.

What on earth Do people see in Karl towns? He's slow and has an old fat guy body and has marginal athleticism at best.

People have him going over Okafor? I don't see it. Cauley stein is taller, longer, stronger, and 10x as quick and athletic.

 

[tzznandrew]

This is only the 12th Top 50 team UK has played. Seriously.

They are a big, talented, athletic team. But they can be beat. Wiscy, Arizona, Duke, Nova, and a number of others can beat them.

 

[Danzz]

Kentucky is just so damn long inside.

 

[boog204]

Cinci killed itself w some awful shot selection to fuel uk's run.

 

[James]

shaq thomas is tim thomas' (of knicks fame) nephew ? wow

 

[ConnZag3]

Second half officiating is going to be key for Cincy to stay in this one. Refs really let them be physical with UK down low in the first half, but will that continue in the second?

 

[kobe]

Yes and Octavius Ellis is cousins with Monta Ellis.

 

[pnow15]

Not enough fire power.

 

[Offhegoes]

Honest question. How can anyone outside the state of Kentucky respect John Calipari? Even his halftime interview was condescending.
