Is WV the Kryptonite meteor we've been waiting for?

[dtrumpet]

wow this is ugly. UK had no trouble getting up for this one.

 

[UConn990411]

Huggy should boot the dude who guaranteed victory off the team at halftime.

What a joke.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Their only weakness is Andrew Harrison.

Not so far. And it speaks to their talent if he's considered their weak link.

 

[champs99and04]

Right. Because the refs have caused WVU to miss layups, jump shots, and turnover the ball. Got it...

You missed my point.

 

[Tommyboy]

It's really a stretch at that. They are ridiculously stacked. And didn't they lose a guy earlier this year?

West Virginia had a chance against the other 14 teams left. They drew Kentucky so they suck I guess.

What a joke.

What should we do with the pisters who were mad Ollie wouldn't guarantee an AAC tournament title?

 

[BarkingDog]

My hope is that after Kentucky wins it all an NBA team throws a pile of money at Calipari and he grabs it.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Their defense has actually been pretty awful

 

[kobe]

We were a few missed jumpers and lay ups away from giving Kentucky an actual game. WVU was a missed Kentucky bus getting to the arena away from giving them an actual game.

 

[storrsroars]

I see this is where the game thread is...

Huggy is playing for the long term... war of attrition. 4 UKs with 2 fouls, still 4 mins to go 1st half.

 

[Bryan Lord]

nah its over.

 

[Scoe]

You guys actually showed up though, you just lost to a better team. WVU probably wouldn't have won but I just can't respect a team that talks a big game but doesn't show up. Hampton played better then this UK is stacked but this is just pathetic.

 

[dogpause]

Apparently there is now a vaccine for Kryptonite.

 

[storrsroars]

The good news for WVU students is that nobody loses a couch tonight.

 

[Ripper32]

Wisconsin may be the only team with the size and discipline to beat these guys. You have to be so selective when you get in the paint.

 

[caw]

It's like people didn't watch last years games against UConn and UL. UK really hasn't had a ton of issues with pressure. Have to play tough half court D and slow the game down to win. You aren't likely to beat them pressing or in a foot race.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

I don't understand why the consensus was that wv was a bad matchup for ky. They are the perfect matchup for ky. In order to beat this ky team you have to be able to pressure their guards and be able to rain threes over their long defense especially with a stretch 4 type who can drag one of their bigs out and open up the lane. Wv can't shoot.

Does that description remind anyone of a certain team from last year???....

 

[superjohn]

It looks like the Nuggets playing against a college team. You watch Trey Lyles play and he looks like the best player in the country and then you realize he's their third best big man.

 

[storrsroars]

Sounded like Barles dissed Cauleystein a bit, saying UK bench guys are as good as him, but bench can't replace Towns.

 

[storrsroars]

Providence only lost 58-38.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Providence only lost 58-38.

In November.

 

[Rocktheworld]

I feel bad for WVU fans.

This is just insane. Embarrasing not because of how bad they're losing, but because of all the hype the players were revving

Huggy bear must be hating his life now. He has to sit by and watch 13 more minutes of this.

 

[storrsroars]

WVU has one point since Towns went out. That's nuts.

 

[Scoe]

This is just comical.
