Bump

ohio vs UNC bump

Holy shit, no post in this thread for over 3 hours, then 2 posts happen within a second of each other

>its another episode of Ohio State choking away a close game
At least its happening at the half and not in last 5 minutes

It was never close tbqh.

6th for best dog

I see UNC is doing fine in their tune-up game
Maybe one day they'll be able to compete with us

hey man we were tied at a couple points in the first half

Kentucky and UCLA tipping off on CBS

>losing to ucla

Kentucky is not very good. This UCLA team fucking sucks. Cincinnati coulda beat em by 40 last weekend.

The most surprising thing about Kentucky is that they're all fuckhuge athletic freaks with 10 foot long arms but they can't play any defense at all. Not Cal's best coaching job up to this point, there's no reason for this Kentucky roster to ever lose to this UCLA roster.

They'll at least beat Louisville, I think it's just a matter of getting better, they certainly have the talent.

Louisville is better than UCLA, I wouldn't be so sure.

>Louisville beating Kentucky at Rupp Arena
lol, okay

>meanwhile in Evansville
Illinois state:yee

I do not think Kentucky is a very good team right now. They're top 30 and so is Louisville. I'm also not sure a team consisting of entirely freshman are impacted by home and neutral courts all that much.

They're really fucking bad defensively. Anyone who knows how to dribble can get by a Kentucky defender and send them into slow, late rotations and get wide open shots.

Cal will end up having to zone with this bunch or they'll lose 1st weekend in the tournament.

old thread finally died, huh?

just as well.

GO TEAM.

They were playing zone against ucla

Not in the last ~7ish mins. Cal abandoned and went man. And they couldn't stop shit. Gave up a few open 3s, couple layups and a few trips to the line.

They're a bad man team.

UMIAMI BOUT TO GO DOWN BITCHES

first time watching NM state this season, they're very impressive

>3 teams from the ACC in the top 6
all other conferences arent even trying

it's only gonna be duke now that miami and unc both got upset big time by unranked teams this week

I don't think Kentucky is any good either but Louisville? I don't see it happening. At the end of the day Cal is the stronger coach and Kentucky is the more talented team, the crowd may not effect the home team but they will most certainly have an effect on Louisville. I think it'll be close, but I don't see Louisville winning.

Thufferin thuckatash! They're not monsters!!! They're mon-STARS!!!!

Who's going to win it all and why is it Villanova?

i havent watched a single villanova game this year but as always it depends entirely on the march madness matchups. they got rekt by the committee last year with a severely underseeded wisconsin

>rigged

YOU DON'T SAY

Wisconsin was underseeded, but the rest of that region was a cakewalk except for South Carolina.

>games return in the morning

Last time I'm bumping this, tbqh

some good games tomorrow

Thank God. NC schedule seemed super weak this year. Probably because Arizona and Purdue shit it up in the Bahamas.

how embarrassing would a Kentucky loss be?

To this Louisville team? It's at home but still wouldn't be as bad as their loss to UCLA. Kentucky isn't very good right now...they're for whatever reason inexplicably bad at defending the ball. They give up so many uncontested passes and straight line drives.

>Louisville
How can you miss every shot over the span of 5 minutes?

Refs gonna make sure Kentucky wins this one. The entire Louisville team is in foul trouble.

>finally a decent slate of games

HOLD ME

WVU in this bitch bouta climb up the polls even more tonight vs the cowboys

Wow Kentucky is beating the bejesus out of Louisville. Didn't see that coming.

>Game of the day is Louisville getting BTFO
Sad.

#22 for Kentucky looks like Wayne Turner
