UL-UK game

[champs99and04]

Kentucky All-Americans? No. Baylor is totally faux, not very good. They play in a soft league. Ohio State has the problems I've already mentioned above and which showed in the game last night. You contain Sullinger by putting multiple guys on him to shut him down. He was 3 of 5 and had to make the rest up from the free throw line. The rest of the team isn't strong enough to hurt you. This is a story written many times over in the NCAAs. Again, I don't think Kentucky will be there because they don't play smart ball. Their defense this year isn't nearly as tough as last year's D.

I think Kentucky's defense is extremely good. What games have you watched where you haven't been impressed with their defenes? Anthony Davis just takes that defense from good to great. Nobody in the country has a shot blocker like him. I couldn't disagree more on Ohio State. They have arguably the best offense in the country. William Buford and Deshaun Thomas are a lot better than they showed yesterday.

I think the biggest knock on OSU is that they don't have an elite wing that can just take over. UNC has Barnes, UConn has Lamb, and UK has about 5 of them. And UK is probably the best defensive team of all the elite squads in my eyes. I hate it but they have a damn good team this year.

I've watched Kentucky 4 times so far, and I see them matador defense that lane over and over, giving up bunnies. Louisville couldn't shoot from outside and yet Louisville hung close with inside shots.

As for OSU, Indy played them the way I suggested they be played before the game even started. Hack Sullinger, limit his shots, and the others won't hurt you. And that's what Indy did.

Not so sure I agree with that. William Buford is pretty darn good. What wing on Kentucky is better than Buford?
