The fruit from Canada losing 94-61 to Wake with 4 minutes left. Lolz

So do Cuse fans still believe they're on the bubble or are they now first four out?

You hate to see it

They are now considered only last 4 in. Close but tough loss.

Last 4 in for what? The NIT or CBI?

 

[How Sway?!]

George Mason intentionally fouled Rahsool Diggins with 1 second left in a tie game (???)

Game winning FT for Sool

This is what I hate about sports betting. The focus is not on the fact that the foul cost George Mason the game, but that it robbed UMass the chance to cover.

 

[alphasigko]

Ktky does not know how to play defense either

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

They are now considered only last 4 in. Close but tough loss.

Last four in what? They’re a long winning streak away from being a long winning streak away from being on the bubble.

I haven’t watched Tennessee much but how do they have 5 losses? Team looks like a bunch of grown men. Kentucky trying to hang in but Tennessee is impressive. Definitely not a potential #2 I want to see in our bracket.

They were in Maui and hit a brutal schedule stretch where they played Purdue and Kansas on neutral courts and then at North Carolina in a 3-game stretch. Lost all 3 by single digits looking pretty good. And then they picked up a couple close losses in SEC play (one to our old NMSU friend Chris Jans at Miss St).

 

[Karmacop]

Man, Kentucky plays zero defense.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Kentucky’s defensive discipline is a couple of steps ahead of Wednesday night pickup at the Y.

I think he was being sarcastic. Cuse fans had been optimistic about getting onto the bubble up until this week.

Too bad we couldn’t have one of our super bowl, early season msg games with cuse this year. I don’t think there could be a worse matchup for them. 80-40 would be a good result for them.

Man, Kentucky plays zero defense.

Kentucky doesn’t seem to know what they are doing. Tons of talent but that’s about it. I think we are way more physical and bigger than Kentucky and would hammer them. Tennessee would worry me a bit.

 

[alphasigko]

Tenn plays a decent game

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Tennessee is good... But in no world should they have almost 80 points before the under 8 timeout. It's more of an indictment on Kentucky.

Tennessee is disciplined. Kentucky on the other hand, not so much.

Lol yes it was sarcasm. Who would have guessed it. A school in southern Canada is having trouble recruiting/playing In a conference that is based in the Deep South. Their closest rival is lol hahahahahha BC. Who hasn’t been relevant since the 90s.

 

[BigTenFan]

Yes, some crazy stats. KU with 18 turnovers and Houston with 3

18 turnovers almost always results in a L- didn't see the game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Crazy ending to Baylor/Iowa State game. Potential game winning 3 was on the ISU shooter's finger tips when the light on the game clock lit up. Baylor holds on at home.

I would be OK with ISU being in a different region from UConn in March.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Louisville is about to beat FSU. The ACC is awful.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Wow, Iowa State at Baylor was crazy, and the refs almost handed it to Iowa State on a silver platter. It was tied at 68 with about 15 seconds left. Baylor drives the paint, gets fouled and hits the layup with 2 seconds left. He misses the FT, Iowa State rebounds and chucks a 3/4 court shot which misses.

BUT WAIT. Refs think the clock started too early, call their own timeout (that took about 5 minutes in real time -- Iowa State was out of timeouts at this point). They get 1.5 seconds and inbound from the sideline. And they end up hitting a three... that was a tenth of a second too late.

Had Baylor lost, they would have had legitimate beef about how the last two seconds were reffed.

sounds like kenny payne is getting that program turned around. they should give him a lifetime extension imo.

Kentucky fans are going to get ugly with Calipari soon. They're beyond sick of his whole act. His rotations stink, he doesn't even think about coaching defense and all he talks about is all his NBA stars. They're going to make it as uncomfortable for him as possible hoping he'll just walk away. He won't walk away from his absurd lifetime contract so eventually they're just going to have to eat that thing and move on from him.
