Cincinnati UK game thread

[Jaker]

Cincy is painful to watch

 

[UConnWingman]

Forget talent, if Cincy could make foul shots and some layups it would be tied.

The struggle so much to score as it is, that they have to be near perfect.

Yeah, my statement was more about Cincy's heart compared to Kentucky's. But yeah, Cincy's laying up some ill-timed bricks today.

 

[BugsyCT]

To their credit, UC's not been afraid to challenge UK inside, but they're doing it way too much.

 

[storrsroars]

If this was the Thursday game and UK played anyone decent today, I think UK would go down. Cincy's not going to win this, but UK players are gonna be very sore next couple days.

 

[Jaker]

UK is going to go down in the next round, I see both the Terps and WVU being good enough to beat them.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Cincy will be out of bigs very soon. If only they had a little offense.

 

[DogMania]

I'm not sure what cincy can do to pull this one off. Kentucky is just deeper, bigger stronger and more talented. Give Cincy credit for battling hard, being physical and bringing it at Kentucky. Just don't know what more they can do. To beat them in this type of game you need to go crazy from 3, which Cincy does not seem to be capable of doing.

zebras are calling this way to tight for cincy to win.

They lack a Rashad Anderson. That'd keep Kentucky's D a hell of a lot more honest.

Every Kentucky block is clean and every Cincinnati block is a foul. Got it.

They need to start hucking 3s up anyway.

 

[DogMania]

Kentucky is so long and just swarms to the ball. They seem to swallow everything up and do a good job of not fouling.

 

[tzznandrew]

Every Kentucky block is clean and every Cincinnati block is a foul. Got it.

Everytime Cincy shoots a up after the clock expires, it's good. Everytime UK does it's a shot clock violation. Got it.

 

[Kitaman]

You won't beat them missing a lot of shots and turning the ball over. Playing stupid doesn't help either.

You need a big, disciplined, offensively capable team to hang. Wisconsin comes to mind probably another team or two out there.

Cincy just doesn't have what's needed.

Our recipe last year was perfect. We outrebounded them, hit our shots and Bazz was Tom Brady to the max.

Watching this uk squad they are very good, talented and of course big as hell.

Nelson is seeing what he wants to see.

He's certainly one of the most obvious amongst us.

More athletic and big teams often do seem to get a better whistle...because they do things people don't think they can.

Have all the calls been perfect? No. But whatever mistakes the refs are making, they're making equally.

Nelson has it in his head that there's some P5 conspiracy despite the fact that a non-P5 school won the title last year. In 2013 Wichita State was in the Final Four. In 2011 Butler played VCU in one Final Four game. If there is some conspiracy, they are very bad at it.

 

[DogMania]

Unless Kentucky has a terribly off night, it will take a team that can match their physical play and who can shoot lights out from deep. They're so long that it's really tough to score inside consistently against them. They are so deep that they're close to not being foul prone.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

At this point I would focus on injuring as many UK players as possible to give the next opponent a better shot.

 

[DogMania]

These announcers make it sound like it's a close game but Kentucky pretty much put this away about 5 to 10 minutes ago.

 

[DogMania]

You you gotta hand it to Kentucky. They have one heck of a fan base.

UK hasn't played a team that can play offense and defense. Cincy can only do one.

There are a number of remaining teams that can do both.

Or score at a much better clip.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

So a UK player goes over the back and Ellis gets the foul called against him. Ok...

 

[DogMania]

There's not going to be a neutral court for Kentucky this entire tournament. They are going to flat out pack these arenas for their team.

I agree. But it's going to take a talented team to beat them. I'm not saying it's a lock that they'll win it all.
