Who are we rooting for in this SC/Kentucky game?

Overtime

 

[Cyched]

March Madness is very much a ‘be careful what you wish for’ event, so I don’t want to play the game of cheering for SC over KY or vice versa.

All I know is Otz, his pythons, and the team aren’t scared of anyone.

 

[cyatheart]

Kentucky doesn't take care of that ball that well.

 

[cyclones500]

Florida is 35-point favorite vs. PVA&M.

Not watching, this is certainly a weird box.

Agreed. After watching SC for the first time this half, and for Kentucky only a couple of times this year, both have pros and cons as our next matchup

I thought Tennessee State’s shooting percentage was pretty bad. CW oversold their streak in the OVC tournament IMHO

It wasn't good for the entirety of the season. They put up a lot of ISO, jump shots/three's. I'm being irrational, I know it.

No I get what you’re saying. The spread seems high. But Nebraska, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, and Houston all won by a million so I don’t know

It's fun to watch Tech light it up (when your team isn't playing them)!

 

[FerShizzle]

i think we want kentucky to win this?

everyone in conference is happy to not be playing big 12 schools.

This confirms what I thought. Kentucky has zero effort in getting rebounds. They have a massive size advantage and absolutely don't care to work for anything.

Thoughts I deleted it, didnt realize I was on the wrong thread.

Yeah but they only shoot 34% from 3. So even if they get open 3’s they’re not, theoretically, going to punish us as much.

Santa Clara seems to really rely on the 3, which makes them scary but also susceptible to a blowout

LOL New here?

I'm not sure who to cheer for in the UK vs SC game... Kentucky has the talent to scare anyone and SC has a really, really high-end offense that could give us problems

we want kentucky

 

[isufbcurt]

The fact he is in St Louis at all worries me a bit for the next round...

I personally prefer officials that are familiar with the Big 12 way

Im starting to root for Kentucky. I think we match up better against them. They have way more talent than Santa Clara but apparently they are all there for themselves and not win Championships.
