Game Thread: UK vs. UConn

[SEC Official]

I like the Dolphins.. But Philbin needs to go IMO!!

Having lived down there for 15 years and holding season tickets to just about every sporting team down there at one time or another... I will tell you Miami is the WORST sports town ever. Fairweather fans that come and go when the team is good... and some horrible attitudes (both fans and owners).

I had never seen anything like it. The only real enjoyable time was the 1st Heat title with Wade...

I could literally go see the Panthers or Marlins for free... and we had a box for the Dolphins on the 40 yard line and I rarely went... wasn't worth it.

I have a friend who has Red Wing tickets that have been in his family forever... like 4 rows behind the bench.... talk about a 180 degree experience from Miami.

Isn't Hill married to Tamia? The mediocre R&B singer?

Not sure, I just keep seeing that cell phone commercial where he is with this short and stout lady... wasn't sure if that was his wife or not.

C'mon Huskies, keep the turnovers under 3 and I think in 20 mins the NC just might be yours.

I think Cauley-Stein is a huge loss for UK... he changes the game at the rim and has the speed to play outside as well... the other bigs don't have that.

But game is still close... just can't have bad turnovers for either team.

Completely agree. Huge adjustment for the Harrison twins. They were able to press the 3 line and if someone got by they had an eraser back there. Not the same in the lane without him

Grant Hill could start right now for the Pistons.

Did you guys see that halftime interview with Kevin Ollie?

Did he graduate from UCONN? Not the most articulate coach around... that is 'fo 'show.

He's like a dumb version of Shaka Smart!

LOL... I love coach Cal...

He answered her question about Randle...

"They're young..." ... with an attitude like "why do you idiots keep asking questions like that?"

Grant Hill could start right now for the Pistons.

And they would probably start winning.

I think Shaka should have left VCU and taken the money a last year... basketball is a very tough sport to finish tops in each year unless you are at a really big name school.

He is a Billy D assistant ... wonder if 20 years from now we are talking about all the Billy D assistants the same way we do with Rick Pitino today?

If the UCONN backcourt can do that shimmy with a jump back shot... as their legs get tired in the late game, they will be unbeatable. That is hard to do. Did you see the lateral movement Boatwright had on that shot? He jumped back a good 6 feet.

The zone is definitely slowed down UConn and put UK back in the game. That dumb ass Calipari that can only recruit has cut the deficit to 7 points.

Honestly most coaches would have throw a zone on them, they were down 13 why not.

He's a great coach, but the defense switch up isn't the greatest example...

Boatwright and Napier have a little too much "playground" in them... which can be really good and really bad. They are the kind of guys who can go off one night and throw turds the next.

How many times did Boatwright go between the legs there and go absolutely nowhere?

 

[Texas Jefe]

Kentucky has done this seemingly every game in the tournament. They start sluggish, then come on at the end of the half, and continue to the end.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

That's why I don't like Napier.. He's Brandon Jennings with less talent..

 

[SEC Official]

Why doesn't UK just continue to feed Randle? He gets fouled so often or hits the bucket...

 

[douggie]

Coach K would be down 50 points by now.

 

[SEC Official]

Wow.. they are letting them play. UK got fouled twice down court with no calls.... Harrison got crushed with the body on that layup.

I don't really get the calls this year... they call tick-tack fouls out top... but people can get crushed down low with no call.

The turnovers have started again, Stop it UConn.
