March Madness Day 3

Refs are blowing the whistle on Buffalo on every Kentucky possession. Those are pushoffs or no calls, not blocking fouls.
 
Diallo isn’t the most skilled, but his effort and athleticism have been a big boon to Kentucky in a cold shooting spell. A good coach would have brought him to UConn. After seeing how poorly Ollie coached this year, I can’t blame him for his choice. I hope he reps PSA and helps talent keep rolling into that program.

If someone can teach a Diallo to shoot....look out. That kid can sky. So springy

Diallo was smiling before he even pick the ball up to dunk.
 
How many jumpers has Kentucky made? Seems like everything is a layup

For all the talk of upsets, It's gonna be the usual suspects there at the end this year.

I don't even think they are that great; good, not great. They don't hit threes very well. Buffalo didn't defend the three very well, and Gabriel went off.

But their road is pretty damn clear to the FF. They probably make it.

As long as you aren't including Duke and Nova. Both those teams look very legit.

I think Duke has it this year unfortunately.

Buffalo did not defend the three all that well. Which is surprising, because they couldn't stop UK driving. You would think they would lock down one of those things.
 
all aboard the Porter Moser bandwagon, now leaving the gate. I heard he once texted a friend of Jeff Calhoun so there is a connection.

I think they couldn't defend the 3 because they couldn't defend the driving. So many kickouts from Alexander. The kid was unstoppable and the D kept collapsing.

Agree. All 3's are not created equal, and while I think Villanova is too dependent on 3's, they do get a lot of good looks, and take a lot of high percentage shots. I rarely feel like Villanova is forcing it.

Villanova gets good looks and they have 5 or 6 players who can make them. They don't rely on 1 or 2 guys. They can also go inside although there was no need to in this game. Their defense is outstanding and their rebounding is adequate. All teams can be beaten but Nova is my pick win it all.

I think the issue is that UK shot better than normal/how UB thought or hoped.

They def couldn’t stop the attacking. I didn’t pay enough close attention to detail in the first but when I was watching, they weren’t hounding the guards like against U of A.

Maybe the refs calling fouls on the perimeter ball handlers limited their ability to disrupt. But they were often quicker or stronger than AZ guards, not the case against UK.
