How 'bout the other Wildcat game thread

The Domers play great D and can hang with Kentucky especially with the extended timeouts and more time to rest

They've got a nice team. They messed up the dookies in the ACC tournament. Playing good ball at the right time.

They messed up everyone in the ACC tourney playing in their backyard

Could we really be looking at a ND vs Bucky national semifinal? Talk about worst season ever.

Short 3 point line. The great equalizer.

Fine by me.  Go Irish if it happens

They should be representing the big east though!

SEC not very strong this year and they had some squeakers.  UK will be favored, my money is going on Wisconsin.

[Groin_pull]

UK pulls it out. Good. Now they've been humbled and Cal has their attention. Now go beat the Vadgers. Please.

Norte Dame played the perfect game and lost by 2.  That is how good Kentucky is.

If Bucky plays perfectly, they lose by a few.  Bucky plays anything less they lose by more.  Off night and it's just like West Virginia, the lose by 30,

[GGGG]

Awful empty possessions down the stretch by ND.  Just gave it to Grant and said "get us a basket."  It worked once...not the last three times.

You need to play perfect and hope Kentucky is at less than their best. And for Notre Dame, that combination still wasn't enough.

If Wisconsin plays a perfect game they win by 10. Kentucky is beatable and I'm throwing money on the Badgers. There is no way they lose by 30

Of course you are.

Yes. ND missed on last three possessions and a turnover, their only one since 10 minute mark in first half. Only one turnover in 30 minutes against UK is unreal. Great effort by ND.

This was UK's "bad game".

Lol, you think Notre Dame is better than the Badgers?  Keep dreaming.

[Groin_pull]

I'm rooting for the team with the higher graduation rate: UK.

[Wojo'sMojo]

Of course you are.

I sure am. I recognize a great team when I see one and they can take Kentucky down.

Bucky played the perfect game against Zona and won by 7.  Kentucky is way way better.

Bucky only chance is food poisoning Wednesday night.

Arizona is a great team and would give Kentucky a good game. Wisconsin is a better team than ND and has a solid chance to pull the upset. Wisconsin vs Duke for the NC.

[GGGG]

I think Wisconsin has benefited from height advantages the last two games.  They won't have that benefit against Kentucky.  But Kentucky has a habit of falling into offensive droughts, and if UW hits shots...

[GooooMarquette]

This was the worst case scenario for the rodents - UK doing nearly everything wrong and still pulling it out.  I suspect they'll play a much better game on Saturday.

[Warriorfish]

Vegas line has started with Kentucky a 6 point favorite.

Big money guys figure it will move to 7.5 by game time.

If ND had won, Bucky wins the title.  Instead, the worst possible thing for them occurred...UK had their squeaker and now will be relaxed and blow UW out next Saturday.

And free throws always matter in big games.  ND missed 3 of their last 5 FT attempts.

Brey coached a really good game, but unnecessarily burning that final timeout really came back to hurt them.

[wadesworld]

ND is better than Wisconsin.  Duke is also better than Wisconsin.  As is Kentucky.  But that doesn't mean Becky can't win this whole thing.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

This to the nth degree. Wasted 38 minutes of great basketball. A rare night rooting for the Domers.
