Let's see how a no-help one on one defense works against our athletes. They are susceptible to bigs that are athletic and the lob, to jump shooters, and to teams that can stroke the 3. I like our chances.
Fuck these refs. We'll never win another game.
They'll put us in foul trouble early to keep it interesting
if they are the ones playing with no help, i think the foul problem will be theirs. i kinda doubt they will stick with that very long.

They are D1 basketball and Shirley their coach knows that won't work. Acuff and BR3 will annihilate them at that. I hope they do at least start off with it.
They gonna Chaminade our ass.

Pringle didn't practice today. He was wearing some type of sleeve on his right leg.
Is Knox have any chance like say if we get to the Sweet 16 is he gonna come out and play?
It's weird we haven't heard shit about Knox. No timetable, no he's out for the season. I mean you'd think by now we'd have heard one of those two.

Cal discussed it in an interview last week. He is a "possible" if we get to the Final Four.
Hell if we have played well enough to get to the Final Four I am not sure I would change the chemistry then.
Thanks, I missed that somehow
he made the trip but isn't playing this weekend cal said today. wouldn't commit to any time frame for him to possibly play.

It's game day boys and girls.
I took today and tomorrow off work to sit on my ass and watch basketball all day.
I'm pumped. I agree with BleedinRed, we come out and take care of business and win by 20. Acuff, Thomas, BR3, and Brazile should eat that no help defense alive.
So now Pringle is listed as "questionable". That's bad.

Nobody has been able to keep him from getting to then rim lately and getting up the scoop shot. If they stick to their no help d, we spread the floor, he could drive and score at will every possession.

He really might get 50. BR3, Leek and Brazile gonna eat too. If we're ON today, it's going to be a high scoring game
i watched the highlights of their tournament game against uc irvine. while they didn't switch or double on the perimeter, they did collapse in the paint so the 'no help' stuff might be a little overstated. we'll see.
as far as offense, they rank 211th in kenpom efficiency. they lost to the two p4 teams they played (neither made the dance).
I forget where I saw it, but their coach pretty much said as much yesterday or the day before.
He's a college basketball coach...he's not going to stick to what they do on defense if Acuff is killing them.
He's not Reggie Herring.
Reggie "Run The Fake Again" Herring.
The best thing about the Vandy game is that every player could legit claim we would not have won without them (except maybe for Thomas).
If that continues, we can go far. I'm still afraid of us sleepwalking through a random game like did throughout the season. Hopefully we're past that.

Well I can now. I thought maybe "one" was an SEC Championship. But exempting Thomas lost me.
Lucky spam poke and Hawaiian shirt. Feeling lucky
Pringle not playing.
Their frontcourt looks like a poor man's Florida.
At least I hope they are poor.
I'm thinking something like an 82-75 win. A little close for comfort.
can't have brazile and ewin in foul trouble. maybe let their 7 footer get his and concentrate on the other guys. or let the bosnian put him on his ass.
There is your first no help fail
Ooh he hit hard. Glad Thomas is ok.
Keep it going boys, they are not on your athletic level
There's the obligatory step on the sideline for no reason.
Thanks for getting it out of the way early.
I probably shouldn't say this but Hawaii don't look so good. Sealy should even be able to do well against them.
I saw we were up on them 7-0 and immediately wondered who scored the touchdown.
Please let this be a blowout. I just want to enjoy the day.
Just keeping pushing the pace.
I'm no Naismith, but if they don't score, I like our chances.
Now, keep your foot on their necks and don't let up.
Shutting these MF's out.
I like it.
We seem motivated.
Before this year, I only saw guys step OOB on the end line, now they do it everywhere all the time. When did that become a thing?
The difference in athleticism is pretty stark.
Not a lot of Acuffs, Thomas' Richmond's or Brazilles running around The Big West
Isn't 11-0 a skunk? That's the way we used to play it.

Let's lock it down and try to hold them to under 15 in the half.

Billy especially doesn't need to be shooting 3s.
Man he is so smooth. It's like he never makes the wrong decision... Shoot, pass, drive, pass, shoot?
He's always a play ahead when he has the ball.
We are taking so many tough shots when we could just work and just get shots at the basket, like DJ just did.
Nessler has lost his fastball. He sounds like he would rather be anywhere else on the planet than calling this game.

I think you have to give Sealy some run and see if he can guard the 3 point line.
Acuff getting worked on D...
Boom
Brazile with the hammer!
Boom again
What a fucking dunk from Brazile. Then a block.
Billy don't hurt em!
Got damn!
Sorry bout that run Brad
BRAZILLY GOAT!
Woo pig. Take their souls
It's so much fun when we're really fucking good.
Shirley we will go to the bench in the second half.
That ally oop was from damn near half court on the run.
We drew up that play?
Doesn't count, he didn't call it
For the love of God quit stepping out of bounds.
BR played great D on that last shot
Meleek was born in the wrong era. He looks like he'd be right at home on an Eddie Sutton team in the 70s.
defense sucked, we guarded the tree like we have all season.
bright spot is they looked worn out with 5 minutes left in the half.
Can we look at that last shot? Looked like still in his hands with the light on.
Shitty way to end the half on that 3 but overall I'll take it. I really like how they play when Acuff isn't there to bail them out. Earlier in the season that's a quick 8-0 run for the other team.

Daydreaming about what a Kentucky fan will feel if we win the whole fucking thing. Don't want to get my hopes up. It's a tough row to hoe. Arizona, Purdue, Michigan or Iowa State, then Duke...
Four straight wins vs legit title contenders. It's nearly impossible.

I don't understand the fascination with Pringle by the announcers. Ewin has been the much better player this year. He has done more on both ends of the court and has played more. WTF?
Wally Szerbiak says Ewin plays with a really high motor at both ends of the floor.
That's really not generally descriptive of him at all. Maybe today, but often not.

We are playing like a team who "knows" they have won.
And just like that it's back to 20
Trevon taking a 3 from the corner, after losing the handle, having the kind of outside shooting day he's having, with 4 minutes left and a big lead and a lot of time on the shot clock -- is about as low a basketball IQ play as you will ever see.

We've always need one player we lost from the year before since Muss was here. Thiero on this team, for example.
I just meant athletically. Those guys I mentioned would have been have been on Sportscenter every night. If pretty much any high major over the last 10 years could pick an all-star squad they would win it.
Acuff on the 2015 Portis team instead of Beard running point would have been dangerous. I mean, that 2015 Kentucky team was probably the best to never win it, but they got beat by Wisconsin in the F4. Would have liked our chances if we were on the other half of the bracket and got to meet Wiscy in the Final.
