WVU will beat Kentucky

[tzznandrew]

This logically makes sense. But West Virginia, though flawed, doesn't stink. And Kentucky just doubled them up. It's legitimate to ask whether they can be beaten this year.

Honestly, they lots of very very good college basketball teams rough up their Sweet 16 opponents. Maybe not to the extent that Kentucky just did, but West Virginia played a style that was exactly what would get you killed by Kentucky.

They are the best team this year. But they've also gone to overtime with Georgia.

I was actually looking forward to this game (Though the main event for me was Wisconsin). I knew I wasn't going to watch all of it, but I thought I'd last until at least 10:30 and/or the first half. Alas, it was not to be. 5 fouls were called (4 on WVU, 1 on UK) before I even had a chance to tune in. I tuned in just in time for the 6th foul and it was barely a nickel-dimer. It's kind of tough to have a competitive game when one team has four 7-footers and the refs put the other team's best big man on the bench with foul trouble before the first TV time out. It was like watching the NBA. For the love of Crhsit, Zebras, the whistle doesn't have to be blown every time down the court.

Needless to say, I went to bed relatively early last night.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

It is hilarious that the "36-1" guy had an o-fer last night.

Steve Sommers from WFAN predicted WVU would win and that he'd talk, brag about his pick on his show tonught......I sense a sick day coming from Mr. Sommers.

The talent gap is reminding me of the old UCLA days and a bit of the current UConn womens teams.
I really don't think anyone will beat them unless Kensucky goes into a game long outside shooting slump or they get into crazy foul trouble.
The way they hit the threes last night spells trouble for any opponent.
WVU picked the worst time to 1. go cold from the outside and 2.have their best big guy get two "fouls" on him the 1st two minutes.
For a minute I thought Brimah xferred to WVU

I really thought that if they clicked on all cylinders, WVU has the athleticism and the maturity to beat KU. Oh well
