Louisville vs Kentucky

[UConnSwag11]

honestly seen much of either. Louisville has a beast in Harrell who's not going to take any from uk(I can see uk going at him to get him pissed) they also have the crazy pressure and stamina which I think is going to wear down the Harrison's who aren't quick breakdown guards. The only thing I see that kentucky has is depth at the 4-5 which may help keep the bigs fresh. I think it's going to come down to guard play. Hopefully it's a good game with a lot of intensity all around

I want to see how well the twins handle the quickness of smaller guards. Let's see if they learned anything from last spring.

Harrison's keep proving me right. The only way they're getting by is because they're using the forearm to push off

Not a fan of the twins but Booker and Cauley Stein make the difference

Ulis also lets them match up better with smaller, quicker guards. They don't have the same weaknesses they had last year. I'm honestly not sure how we would attack them hypothetically. If we have to find out, I hope it's late in the tourney and not a 1-8 game.

This may be unpopular but I'd like to see Kentucky run Louisville out of the yum.

I have that underlying sentiment too - but it's trumped by my concern that nobody in the SEC can beat Kentucky.

Let em go undefeated in the SEC. It will make it that much more crushing when someone takes en out in March.

See: Florida.

UL will drop a game in the ACC. UK will not in the SEC. The last thing we need are 2014-2015 UK 40-0 shirts and 2015-2015 Syracuse 40-0 shirts.

Louisville can't rebound for . It's like they're not trying. Also if pitino should be furious with Harrell taking that three

Nobodies going 40-0. There is a reason that hasn't happened since 1976.

I hope Louisville wins only so we don't have to listen to all sports media outlets talk about UK going undefeated all season, sportscenter can be painful enough at times to listen to.

This game is why platooning is stupid. When Kt gets against a really good squad, you need your best five players on the court in rough and tumble game shape. They need to have a well established chemistry on court. Platooning actually helps your opponent. College kids can play six hours a day in the summer. They really don't get that tired.

Lousiville is rushing their open shots

Trying to figure out which coach makes me want to puke less...

Comic relief was what I was going for - but I agree 100% just don't want to hear media talk about 40-0.

Harrell is playing scared. Taking 25 foot threes and giving up the ball with nobody but a Harrison between him and the basket. And then sitting there meekly while Cauley-Stein toys with him. Maybe a halftime pep talk will get him going.

Unfortunately for Louisville, Jones is not playing scared.

Quickness is posing a real problem for Ky. Sounds familiar.

If you were in the stands cheering next to Jennifer lawrence, would you still be a UConn fan?

 

[CTBasketball]

The offense in this game is so horrible. Either that or the defense is great. Not sure which one trumps the other.

 

[ASweet3781]

So is it ok now to be dominant defensively in the eyes of Bilas and all the talkin' heads who took a giant dump on our win over Butler and declared 2011 a weak year because of the low scoring title game?

Believe it or not , Calipari. At least he's owns what as huckster he is. Pitino is just vile.

It's defense, they are playing football in the paint. There is serious length and athleticism on display. You are not getting a chippie without earning a bruise. I like it.

22-18? Wow. The way people were talking about Kentucky beating some of the NBA teams, I was expecting a really high scoring game. 22-18? Most be a defensive battle or these guys can not shoot.
