Cuse is shooting lights out right now almost a school record from behind the arc...and only up 3.

So is Baylor, I think this game just set a tourney record for made 3's

 

[Jaker]

Chukwu, lol

no wonder Providence kicked him to the curb

 

[LIuconn]

Powell is so impressive. Looking forward to having a 6’7” focal point of the offense again one day

Buddy Boeheim looks terrible.

 

[Jaker]

baylor needs to put this away

 

[spudzj6]

Wofford lives/dies by the 3...well, when you shoot 45% as a team, you rarely die...McGee is unreal

He just had a huge stop on a 2 on 1. And somehow got the board on the other side of the hoop. Huge play.

 

[UconnU]

Buddy Boeheim can not guard high major D1 guards he is a major defensive liability for cuse.

This game is really fun to watch. Powell is incredible and so is the Wofford 3 point shooting. Need Wofford to win, because I don't think a 1 man team like the Hall has a shot at taking out Kentucky.

Didn’t Hall already beat Kentucky this year?

I think Kentucky sees how seton hall got back In it and just blitzes Wofford from the jump.

Kansas lost to that mediocre norther Iowa team because self didn’t use his vastly superior athletes on a press until it was too late

They did. In OT I believe

I was thinking that too with 5 minutes left. But then after getting blitzed all half Wofford scored 9 in approximately 3.5 seconds. I think they've got a legit shot, it's pretty hard to guard those threes.

It may depend on whether Wofford's 1 good big guy can stay out of foul trouble, because their other big guy is terrible.

Fun fact we were in Powell’s final 4 and may very well have landed him had we not signed AG.

I’m not saying they have no chance. Kentucky pressing from the jump will be brutal to combat with.

Can't argue with taking AG over him if that was the choice. But tonight sure has been full of guys we were looking at at one point or another - Powell, Bey, Samuels. Wish we'd landed one or two of them.

Sure, I don't disagree.

It’s a shame that these guys don’t notice how much room our stuff has for a 2 PG offense.

 

[UconnU]

Jalen Carey transfers right? Boeheim must have zero confidence in him to not play him in this situation where they are without a point guard.

 

[Jaker]

Cuse gone, I feel better

Sat him behind Buddy, burn

 

[UconnU]

I wonder if we’ll get involved with any of these big time high school prospects originally from our area who arent getting minutes/likely transfers (Jahvon Quinerley, Jalen Caren, Isaiah Washington). This is where being down a scholarship really hurts.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Wofford could score 42 total points in the next round on 3 for 32 from 3-point range with their shot selection.

 

[the Q]

Sure, I don't disagree.

I’m not sure Kentucky will actually do it either.

Just think a major opportunity was exposed.

Yeah, I thought Willard did a great job going to that press like he did. Kentucky should definitely emulate it. And like Waylon said, Wofford may go for 42 points next game because they really do live and die with the 3. And their coach does need to re-evaluate how they break the press in the next 48 hours.

But man that jolt they put on the Hall with a few minutes left - when they theoretically should have been exhausted - was impressive. It went from a 1 to a 10 point margin in the blink of an eye. And I'm not sure how you guard that one guy who shoots the twisty threes.

This Kentucky team is good, but it's riding on reputation a little bit I think/hope. Would love to see them go down.

And I believe that Washington is out again for Saturday so that helps Wofford.

I hope I am wrong, but I think Kentucky is going to demolish Wofford. Wofford will not shoot 13 for 28 from 3 again with the types of 3 attempts they take. I think Kentucky will be up 20 in the first half, and the second half will be garbage time. It's unfortunate that Wofford wasted a night like this on Seton Hall.

 

[UCfor3]

Kentucky will do a better job of running them off the 3 point line and pushing their offense out a bit. Wofford will have to shoot lights out to beat them. If PJ is out they have a punchers chance but it's a real slim punchers chance. Real slim. Anerexic slim.
