At halftime of last year's opening round game someone started a fire Hurley thread.
Well that won't happen today unless the arena is filled with Kentucky fans

You think they see all the fouls they call? They're guessing a lot of the time. All those head snaps guys use, selling contact. Timberlake didn't even sell anything it was just the way the play went it looked like he was fouled in real time. So that's what they called. It's not complicated. It's not a conspiracy.
They seem to “ guess” a lot more fouls when the Jailhawks are on the ropes it seems to me

We obviously should beat both of these teams. Think NW would be a tougher game. They play a harder brand of defense to prepare for and play against and they also shoot the ball better from deep.

NW player just air-balled a layup, got his own rebound, and made the shot.

Is that legal? Announcers didn't say anything.

I am not at all impressed with Northwestern's supporting cast.

They would have the 7th-10th best players on the floor at any point in the game against us.

Yes. As long as it was a "shot", it is legal to rebound your own airball. Now, whether it is legal on the pick up courts, that is a different story.

It seems that NW would make us play defense for the full shot clock and make us pay for any breakdowns.

I hate underestimating any team, especially from second round on....NW beat Purdue & Illinois so they are capable of good games.
Especially teams with a really good/great player. That's how we won a couple.

Damn NW wasted the almost the entire shot clock on the last 2 possessions and made baskets. That tests a defense's morale.

NW’s Martinelli with a nice backhand to the face of Golden.

We wear teams out. We are built to wear teams out. If either of these teams come out firing against us (which is their strategy, guaranteed) a couple of hit 3's are no match for our guys 1-8
