Sweet Sixteen: Day One (Th).

[TDs3nOut]

Really looking forward to the games tonight, particularly UNC v. Wisconson. Also hope that WVU takes down KY, but that would be shocking. Speaking of shockers, Go Irish!

Good point. Wichita State has been impressive, while ND has not. Irish are likely to need their A game in order to advance tonight.

ND will be ready for the Shockers

A lot people in the media seems to love WV tonight. I think Kentucky wins but Coach Cal better have Ulis playing some serious minutes. I don't think the Harrison's will handle the pressure well.

I expect the media to hype every opponent Kentucky faces for the next 1 to 4 games.

That's a good call as Ulis has no problems breaking the press and WV will be looking for turnovers.

Game day bitches!

No doubt. The price to predict an upset is low, but the upside of a correct prediction is high. Would love for WV to take KY down (despite that it would ruin my bracket), but I don't see that happening.

I get that most people don't like UK because of the fan base but honestly, unless you're team is still in the hunt for a National Title, I don't understand why more people wouldn't want to see history.

Had the Shockers beaten UK last year, I would have absolutely wanted to see them run the table. Maybe its just me.

Could be wrong, but I have the sense that there are many CBB fans who are not Coach Cal fans. He is clearly great recruiter and a great coach, but he is also, in my opinion, quite unlikable. Like most fans, I picked KY to win it all, but I won't be disappointed if they come up short -- again!

It seems like a lot of experts like WV's chances tonight. There are several teams left that have a shot to beat UK, but I think this is a terrible matchup for WV. I think UK blows their doors off. I like Witchita, Zona and for an upset.....Utah

Literally the only things which suggest West Virginia has a chance are Huggins' career record against Calipari and WVU's offensive rebounding numbers. Everything else suggests a 15+ point Kentucky win.

Unless UC changes their lineup, they start 6'1, 6'1", 6'3", 6'7", and 6'9". UK starts 6'6", 6'6", 6'10, 7' and 7'. There's no way.

Most people want David to slay Goliath, I just hope my Mounties dont get blown out early.

I think WVU can turn Kentucky over, but when they dont.. I think Kentucky shoots a very high percentage. I think our only shot is an absurdly high 3pt %.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Notre Dame brought an asskicking with them so far.

Kentucky can be beaten. Huggs is the coach to get it done.

If UC had Cronin instead of Davis the game would have been a lot closer.
