I don't think WVU can challenge UK if they beat Washington.
And IMO, they are not near the caliber of the MSU team that we had to play last year. I hate Kentucky even more for being so damn lucky.

Apparently very few UK fans at the Carrier Dome
Isn’t that kind of surprising?
by Mike Rutherford on Mar 25, 2010 8:03 PM EDT reply actions
They already bought every time for Indy.
Hopefully they have to resell them.

Where did time come from?

If they win their region, maybe the wins will be vacated before the Final Four.
That may be our best hope.

Syracuse getting beat while Butler hasn't shot well is very surprising
Then again, they play in the Big East, so they should be flaming out in an embarrassing manner
Are any of the top Big East teams this year as good as last year's Louisville, UConn, or Pitt?
Or even last year’s Nova (who I do not consider to be one of last year’s top 3 just because they happened to advance beyond Pitt and Louisville)? I don’t think so. All of this year’s top Big East teams have glaring flaws.

scheduling donks
Beautiful scheduling by the NCAA send Syracuse out west so they play while the other region is playing in there home stadium. Good way to bring zero local people to the game. Then again last I checked Salt Lake City wasn’t a bastion of hoopdom.
by NCAA rules they're not allowed to put them in that region
You can’t play NCAA games at your “home” court

Class?
Something UK’s heralded freshmen not only do not attend but do not have.

Dammit. Glasses*
I can’t spell tonight.
by CardinalDude on Mar 25, 2010 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
No question that is a foul on the replay.
I hate Butler. The loss to them in ’03 turned me against them forever. I can still see that little bastard hitting 3 after 3 from the corner.

Cuse tried to kill the clock way too early.
Don’t know what they were thinking. Their string of empty possessions reminded me of some of ours this year. Frustrating to squander that kind of opportunity to put the game away.
by cardsinindy2010 on Mar 25, 2010 8:58 PM EDT reply actions
And then there was one. One Big East team remaining.
And we’re not even into round 4. Damn.

WVU
I am the biggest WVU fan going forward.. Has anyone visited their SBNation site? They’ve got a great bikini bracket going!
Their SBNation site is garbage
There are plenty of sites out there with girls in various stages of undress, and the smoking musket isn’t anywhere near the top 1,000. If you’re looking for quality analysis or a sporting community, they’re not anywhere near the top 50,000.
Best part of WVU-Wash
05 highlights. I don’t think WVU can beat Kentucky. Well they can, but I don’t think they will.
I'm tired of all the Big East bashing
Everyone saying our conference is weak. This was a rebuilding year for the conference. We had 5 teams in Sweet 16 last year and 2 in the final four. Having one team in the elite 8 in a down year is not bad.
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 9:36 PM EDT reply actions
We were the only team not to lose to a lower seed.
They all tanked in the tournament, 14, 11, 10, 6, 5. It’s not like the bashing is unwarranted.
It's not that the conference was bad this year, but it wasn't quite as good as advertised.
As evidenced by the losses to lower seeds. And yes, for a down year, it wasn’t bad.

I want Gus Johnson to officiate at my wedding
It would make it 100 times more awesome

Ill take Jim Nantz
“there it is, an ‘i do’ for the ages”

Here we go, time for "The Stand" on the basketball court
M-O-O-N, that spells vacated Final Fours.
by Mike Rutherford on Mar 25, 2010 9:57 PM EDT reply actions
Xavier looks outmatched
they’re gonna have to slow it down to come back
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 9:57 PM EDT reply actions
Mike, I hope Eric responds back to you about a guy from
Louisville reffing tonights game. That’s absurd.
Sounds like UK
I was drunk, never studied the whole time I was there….

What could really help Cornell in this game
Anyone who stuck around from the previous game will be rooting against UK
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 10:07 PM EDT reply actions
Nobody say anything
no jinxing
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 10:14 PM EDT reply actions
Kentucky is about 50x more athletic than Cornell.
Jeesh.

MMOD HD is a great picture....
but the delay is HORRIBLE. I can either watch pixels pretty much live or HD like 45 seconds delayed.
by Remote Cardinal on Mar 25, 2010 10:21 PM EDT reply actions
I'm taking the HD
especially since this thread isn’t super live. Nice comeback by Xavier btw. Anyone watching that game?
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions
How can they keep saying that when all his wins were vacated for last year?
by cardsinindy2010 on Mar 25, 2010 10:30 PM EDT reply actions
If Cornell can't hit 3's
this game is going to get ugly kind of quickly.
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 10:40 PM EDT reply actions
have to go inside
that will open the three
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Need Points
Cornell has to find a way to score, UK isnt gonna let them get the threes if they are not able to do anything inside
Cornell just can't do anything offensively b/c of Kentucky's athleticism.
Huggy Bear, it’s on you.
by cardsinindy2010 on Mar 25, 2010 10:43 PM EDT reply actions
Going into half....
Cornell has to find a way to keep this game close, less than 10 minimum inside of 5 would be alot better, get into the locker room and regroup. But if nothing else lets all be encouraged that UK isnt play like they did last weekend. They play like that and lets just face it they are unbeatable
if cornell wasn't red
it wouldn’t feel as bad.
Saturday is gonna make me feel dirty....
NO doubt who I’d cheer for but oh how i really hate having to cheer for Bobby Thuggins
too much athleticism
Here’s to hoping that both WVU and UK find a way to play the first ever game where both teams lose
Agreed
and if this happens feel free to find me and I will buy you a beer for this excellent idea!
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Call me crazy
But I think if WVU can keep from turning it over like they did tonight then the length of their players could be a better match up vs. UK
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 11:28 PM EDT up reply actions
The game Saturday
Should take a backseat to the West Virginia/Kentucky fan interaction over the course of the next 48 hours.
by Mike Rutherford on Mar 25, 2010 11:10 PM EDT reply actions
Seriously???
I like Samuels but when has he ever been a monster and played above the rim? Isnt that the reason that he makes us pull our hair out so much because he plays below the rim and doesnt rebound?
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 11:29 PM EDT up reply actions
whoops
sorry lol i was really lost on this one, my bad
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Jamar Samuels?
did samardo just cut of the do and change the s?
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 25, 2010 11:48 PM EDT reply actions
Two for Two
Twice this year I’ve seen teams try to foul when up three. First was Miss St. vs UK in the SEC Championship, and now this one. Do we need anymore convincing that this is always a bad idea!! Play defense put a hand in their face, if they get lucky and hit it then go to overtime but don’t try these gimics.
by Clay Entrican on Mar 25, 2010 11:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Xavier shoots they get
a BULLSHIT FUCKING FOULL CALL they fouled before the 3 and gave it to him on a shot
72 72
OTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Manhattan Kansas the city with nothing to do but sleep

thugsins
is it me or does cousins hook everytime. Chris Webber thinks he hooks too much!
it's not expensive Mom
JEEZ how long do we have to watch that commercial! 4 years now 5 its been on as long as winston bennet was a cat
Salt Lake fans got their money's worth tonight
What great games to get a chance to watch tonight…. especially the second one.
Football anyone??
Anyone been out to Spring Practice? Anything to get excited bout?
Our hopes now ride on Huggy Bear.
I never thought I would be saying that, and it feels wrong. But all his transgressions as head coach at UC could be forgiven in exchange for this favor.
