Not a big fan of the first round (play in round) but it's a great finish right now!

I just turned the game back on the the Hill Toppers came back from down 16 with apparently around 4 to go to down just 1 with 2:28 to go. Their pressure is relentless and MS Val St can't hold onto the ball.

I have no idea how this team got that 16 point lead, but they being dominated now. Still 2:20 to go up by 1 but I can't see how they are going to stop this onslaught.

W KY just missed 4 consecutive FTs and committed a foul sending MS Val St to the line, now down 2 and are now turning the ball over, but just tied it up. What a heck of a game.

Watched for a while while MVST was building their lead... and WKY looked completely out matched... now it's almost a 180 turn in the other direction.

WKY played like ish after Miss Valley State converted one of the nastiest alley oops I've see this year and stole the ball on the ensuing inbounds. Probably 17 of WKY 28 turnovers have came in the second half after that sequence. Amazing game for Obama to be the suit at with the English Prime Minister who has no idea what he's watching.

crazy last 5 minutes. how do u airball that last shot lol.

any1 got good info about the wku coach? guy has won alot at lower levels and took this team somewhere quick after joining the program half way thru this year...guy could be a quick riser to a mid major type team in need.

Wow epic collapse. Down by 16 with 4 plus left and they went on a 22-5 game ending run. You gotta feel bad for the kids on the losing side, but what a big time come back. Hard to believe these were the same two teams that started the game.

 

[BugsyCT]

What a gag job by Miss Val St. Outscored 22-5 the last 4m & change. Nightmare way to lose a tourney game.

WKY-19 first half points, 22 points in the final 4:52.

Love the comment by the winning coach. "I guess I'm not the smartest guy. I should have had them press much earlier." Something like that. Now do you think there is any doubt that this team is going to press the h*ll out of their 2nd round opponent?

crazy last 5 minutes, you do feel bad for Miss Valley kids, that was pretty classy the way the coach of Western Kentucky approached that kid, good for Western Kentucky. LMAO at that W Kentucky fan handing his baby over to Obama.

 

[Druken Friar]

If WKU beat Kentucky it will be the greatest upset in tournament history. Press from the beginning and play hard Hilltoppers.

Kentucky? I'm not sure pressing them is a good idea.

WKU will lose to Kentucky 112-55

there really arent to many options for them do what you do best and live with the results

I guess it could work, UK isn't that deep at guard or good at PG...

As to the other first round game, on now, I forgot Momo Jones was on Iona. He made a good choice leaving Zona it seems.

That was a great game. Can't help feeling bad for Mississippi Valley State. They would not have had regrets if they'd won and then got crushed by Kentucky, but losing the game the way they did will stay with them forever. On another note, remember earlier this season when Western Kentucky fired their coach after losing a game when their opponent had 6 players on the court and Fox Sports wrote an article blaming the refs for him being fired? It turns out there was a pattern of behavior that lead to his firing but the 6 player story made a good story. It's quite an accomplishment for a team to have their coach fired mid-season and make the tourney.

btw glover on iona is like a less athletic royce for ist. royce has more in the tank spped/hops wise but kind of play the same game. ist doesn't have a momo to dish like iona does.
