Game Thread: Michigan VS. Kentucky

[TrustMeIamRight]

What?? easy call. You can't put your elbow into a guys throat and clear him out.

When an Ohio State fan agrees with a call that goes for Michigan -- you know it was definitely a foul.

Not a game until the refs need to make their presence known

Don't jinx it...! It is still early.

this is the worst officiated tournament in the history of the NCAA tourney. Someone has to be held accountable for this poor officiating.

Morgan is a lot better than people give him credit for. He is playing against taller guys pretty much every game and he holds his own.

He's playing great, he had me pulling my hair out during B1G play

Just calling it as I see it. You can use your body, but an elbow to me is no different than using your hand.

That is a tough one... your arch rival... but UK is easy to hate as well with Calipari recruiting 1 and done players and then running their mouth on how they will win the national title BEFORE the season even starts.

I actually felt pleasure in watching UK struggle all year..... I know some great UK fans, but there are plenty in their fan base that are arrogant as hell... and they remind me of the Miami Heat by calling titles before they are won.

Zak Irvin is just filthy right now from 3 point land. I was wondering how he was Mr. Basketball in Indiana last year after watching him at the beginning of the year, but he has grown so much since the beginning of the year.

Young just hit a 3... they can't let him get loose. He can hit 4-5 in a row if you let him get hot.

Trust me -- OSU/UM's rivalry trumps all when it comes to hatred. Most fans of the two teams can't be impartial, even if they aren't playing against one another.

UK better step it up... else this could get out of control quickly.

8 pt lead. If it gets into 10+ range, UK has a habit of giving up this year. This is a team that got blown out a couple times by the worst teams in the SEC. They have the potential to lay a turd.

 

[SEC Official]

Johnson can't shoot free throws either... that is another area Stein is missed. And he turns it over as I type this... LOL..

Michigan up by 10 now. We are either on our way to 20 pt lead or a tight game. There is no inbetween with the Cats.

Stauskas is the best player in this tourney

 

[Runeman]

It's clear to me that Kentucky has to keep pounding the ball inside to Randle and Johnson. That is were the advantage is. that said, not many fouls being called in there.

I love that little out in front, low point finger role NS likes to go to from the right side.

Hopefully Michigan learned from Florida's game vs. Kentucky in the SEC tourney... if you start screwing around, they can come back.

UM will let UK fire away from 3 point land all game long. Doesn't matter who it is. It beats the other choice of dunks and layups.

The announcers hit the nail on the head -- UK is shooting 50% from the floor and hit 1 of 2 from 3 point land and UM is up by 10 right now.

UM is so tough to play because of how good they are offensively and how unique the offense they run is.

Yeah, but Young is the one player you don't want to let UK hang around. Keep in mind UK is a LOT more talented than Tenn... so you can't let them keep it under 10 down the stretch. Need a solid 20 pt lead to demoralize them.

And Young hits another 3 as I type this...

Young is the one who got away from Beilein. He would have been a beast on UM, instead of just another guy on UK.

I'm guessing he wanted to go to college out of state though.

I don't see either team building a 20 point lead. UK is too big in the post and UM is too good on offense. It will be a close game throughout.

It was the Devil... I mean Calipari promising these guys millions based on his past players 1 and done history.

I hate what he does... I respect the legacy of UK basketball, but don't like the way he builds teams. He is trying to basically buy championships every year.
