GB closed to 1!

Damn. Poor end of the game management by GB. 3 bad possessions down the stretch.

 

[alexrgct]

OMG. What a horrible sequence for GB!

Why the heck did GB chuck up that shot? The shot clock wasn't that far down.

 

[alexrgct]

I would have saved that TO. Take it after the FT attempts.

That last second shot with...6 seconds left looked like something the UConn men would have thrown up

Panic...or brain fart.

Wish I had seen the whole game. Is Green Bay's defense that good that they forced 32 turnovers? Or was Kentucky just that sloppy with the ball?

 

[alexrgct]

Damn it. That was a great play call. Ball just didn't go in. Crap.

 

[Vowelguy]

Definitely let that one slip away, but it was a tremendous comeback.

Green Bay's D is PHENOMENAL.

I actually think Green Bay would have been a more dangerous Elite 8 opponent than KY. Green Bay is insanely well coached with terrific fundamentals. Very tough minded team.

Zags are a different team away from Spokane. Can UK pull through?
Right now, I like UConn's draw. Still have to play with the kind of effort the girls did tonight, but if they do, it's gonna be tough for any of the remaining teams in the Kingston Bracket to stop the Huskies.

GB plays kind of an extended 2-3 zone, more of a 2-1-2 really, and makes you start your offense out really high. If you can attack it through the middle and run backdoor cuts you can get lots of easy layups. But UKs guards couldn't even make the initial pass. Just terrible, terrible offense. And they almost lost the game after jacking up shots too early in the shot clock with a lead late in the game. Not very impressed with the coaching.

I think the announcer said that the two teams are 1-2 in forcing turnovers (mid to upper 20s per game), so apparently it's not quite as bad as it looks... which is pretty bad. Win an NCAA 2nd round game with 34 TOs? Ouch. Now that's survive and advance...

 

[sarals24]

Impressed with GBs coaching, though. They don't have near the athletes that Kentucky has and still took them to the wire with a chance to tie at the end.

A different team away from Spokane, but the Zags should have the support of the crowd in Kingston against Kentucky. Every UConn fan should be able to appreciate the way the Zags play.

UK's half court offense was horrible, except for their last possession... kid got open at the foul line and hit the jumper. Oh well. They will beat the Zags, most likely and then face UConn.
