Cincinnati UK game thread

[tzznandrew]

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.

They're also never leaving the midwest. Louisville, to Cleveland, to Indianapolis.

Bazz was hitting those 3s. Just sayin. . . . .

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.

They also probably should have lost to ole miss and Texas a&m both who aren't very talented so yeah all it should take is a team to get hot and frustrate UK.

 

[specialisthusky]

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

I think a number of teams would be able to pack an in state arena as the number one team in an undefeated season. The thing is they will do the same thing in Cleveland next week too.

Didn't realize Rohrssen was working with UK. He was a solid recruiter for Pitt, getting all the NYC kids that Howland built an actual program around.

They're also never leaving the midwest. Louisville, to Columbus, to Indianapolis.

Nelson probably thinks it is a conspiracy even though these locations were probably chosen half a decade ago or more.

And there will be no AAC teams in the Sweet 16 this year.

I hate UK so much right now... I hope they all break their legs Kevin Ware style...

 

[mauconnfan]

Cincy played them tough and pretty much proved if someone can do the same and make some shots, I think they can make them press and fall apart. Sorry, they will be taken!

That's rational.

You would think we would be able to sell the fact our program kept Kentucky from winning 2 additional titles during their reign of terror. They have been the top team in this sport going on 5 years. If you want to beat them why not go to the program that has done it when it counts? Hobbs? Miller? Moore? Bueller? You have a lot to work with guys.

If UConn or Gonzaga or Arizona or insert team name here (aside from UNC, Duke, Kentucky or Kansas), they would've sent them to another region than have such a ridiculously easy home area advantage.

What?

Look at the 4 1 seeds. Who else would want to play there? Maybe Duke, probably Wisconsin. But UK deserved it. And if UConn were the Top 1 seed, you're goshdarn right we'd get the location that makes the most sense.

Regions: Syracuse, Los Angeles, Houston, Cleveland.

They were the 1 seed, so of course they got the best location. And they don't play in Louisville during the regular season, so that's why they'd be there.

We've been in Boston and Worcester before. It's just that CT is small, and Kentucky is relatively large.

 

[UConnWingman]

I stand by what I said. Tobacco Road or the Ks will be given the smoothest ride possible, whereas other teams will be sent packing if a "golden road" presents itself like it has for Kentucky.

UK could play an NCAA game in Alaska and 50k of their redneck fans would show up.

Do Kentucky fans realize their team is almost all African American? Liberal use of the n-word in the arena this afternoon in describing some of our players.

Can you clarify what you are saying?

Ya....well.... There's else to do in Kentucky, college bball is pretty much what they live for. The other main attraction in the state is Walmart

There's a weird mental jujitsu that some of these people have to go through to pull for that team.

Adolf Rupp was not a nice, welcoming man...

Unfortunately the liberal use of the n-word is an undesired symptom of being an inbred, it's not entirely their fault, they were born that way

Thanks, I guess I didn't want to believe it.

 

[pnow15]

Not true. It my understand that a lot of the local Louisville restaurants have live sex shows.

High school kids don't give a about championships. They want to go to the NBA.

Nelson is seeing what he wants to see.

you're the only one with 20/20
must be a pretty short list to be where you are
