uk or Wisconsin

[Danzz]

Tough call. Whose style of play do we match up better against?

I think we match up better against Wisconsin. They are the smarter team but Kentucky has better athletes who may be able to do a better job handling our pressure.
Florida is a better team than both of them.

Anyone else think Randle will be an impossible matchup?

Like Payne? Like Young?

Like Payne? Like Young?

I hear you. I have watched Randle play a quite a few times this season and he is a lot more fluid around the basket than either of those guys. Our big guys have played with some serious heart this tournament, but I truly believe he would be the most skilled big man we've faced all year.

But the key is our guards. I like ours over the harrisons. I feel like defensively, they'll make it tough to get the ball to Randle where he wants is.

And our bigs are tougher than people gie them credit for. Not skilled, but tough.

It's like some of you guys don't even watch the games.

 

[jibsey]

I don't think we give Wis those open 3's like they are getting and our guards are quick to pressure them. KY is a bunch of giants though.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Young has not much of an offensive game.

that big dude on mich st. , was winded 5 minutes into the game.

Randle is a real Problem.
Kentucky starts 5 freshman though.
That works in Uconn's Favor.

so i really don't know.

 

[61cygni]

30 overtime periods please.

 

[babysheep]

If UK wins, I win at least $100 in a pool, and we play a team who likely won't have Caulley-Stein on Monday; he didn't even dress.

However, we can go small against Wisconsin, and we excel when we do. DD can guard Kaminsky. We did well enough against Patric Young, and DD can keep up with Kaminsky on the perimeter. I don't want to see us have to deal with Julius Randle.

 

[sportsart]

What the hell is wrong with you guys? We have no chance vs either team. doomed.

 

[BearJWS]

Refs doing their best to see KenSucky to win... Foul, foul, foul on Whisky... Too bad they can't let the players determine the game since Whisky is shooting just fine tonight...

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Does anyone ever root for Calamari? We are doomed either way but go Whisky.

 

[Tenspro2002]

FF game or not, Bo Ryan needs to take a technical foul early, or his guys are going to continue getting screwed on these foul calls.

 

[junglehusky]

Wisconsin looks pretty good, but UK is close. Clearly we are DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Wisconsin would probably be the best offense UConn has played this year.

 

[jibsey]

Randle hurt.

 

[CTBasketball]

I'm not sure who I'd rather play. I think neither has the guards to compete with ours.

 

[August_West]

Whoever we play they will clearly be a 10 point favorite.

Keep picking against us media pricks it's good mojo

 

[Tommyboy]

How is that not a flagrant?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Wisconsin reminds me of us on defense; undersized, under-athletic, but tough.

Also, that should be a dead-ball technical for the push to the face.

 

[blackbird]

Whichever team is smaller.

 

[babysheep]

Honestly the only reason they've been scoring this much is because this one dude has come out the woordwork for 9 points already. Averages 3. We also play some decent defense.

 

[Blueballer]

Can't EVER want a Calipari team to win so I'll take WIS. The sooner that doesn't have a crack at a NC the better.

 

[EricLA]

If I ever felt the need to root for Kentucky, all I have to do is punch myself in the face and fix that particular train of thought. Go Wisconsin.
