Game Thread: Kentucky vs Louisville

And that's how you respond.

UK's just too deep. Six can bang against nine for only so long.

stall ball letting ville hang around

 

[PPhan]

Why didn't he call a timeout?

a lot of stupid from Kentucky in about a 15 second span

Not impressed.

L'ville was bricking everything. They have a good defense, but their backcourt sucks.

I would like to see them go against a team with some good guards.

The only reason UK is so highly touted is because every other team has such a big glaring flaw.

But UK's weakness is definitely their backcourt.

 

[jonvi]

Man...the last 2 minutes take for f'n ever.

 

[podsox]

fouling a guy shooting a 3 up 10 with 8 seconds left?

Their backcourt sucks? There are not many teams that are going to be able to do shit with the UK backcourt. UofL happens to be one of the teams that have the size to do something.

Turns out the two youngest guys for Kentucky stole the show: Towns and Ulis...Booker not so bad either. I thought the Louisville bigs would hold up better...started out well and got tired by the 2nd half. Harrel was simply overmatched inside.

It does suck, especially compared to what they've had the past few years.

Even Pitino admitted it, albeit via a backhanded joke.

Well it wasn't pretty - but congrats to BNN on the win.

Defense dude. Those "good'' backcourts, whoever you think they are, will get broke down like a shotgun against UK...or UL for that matter. Defense wins Championships, and those are easily the two best defensive teams in the country. No one else goes in and beats a fired up Louisville team at home today

 

[jontaejones]

A skidmark in the annals of history!

LMAO.

Seriously?

You watched that whole game and you watched Louisville's level of play and you think your team is unbeatable?

If L'ville had brought it and played well, and UK still beat them down, I'd give them all the props in the world. I didn't feel that was the case at all.

Both teams "didn't play well" because they were each going against insane defensive teams. I never said UK was unbeatable, this is college ball. Now if it were like the NBA, no one would beat them in a 7 game series, not a chance. But anyone can lose a game. But IMO, it's going to take a UV type offense/talent level to have any chance. I will say I think this team wins it all this year. By March, their offense will be much better, Lyles and KAT are really skilled bigs who are getting more assertive. Come tournament time, they are gonna be something

Well I think UK did what they had to do, they were.......
