Was surprised to see K St up 13-1 when I turned it on.  That won't last, they don't have the team to hang 85 on UK.  Cuz that's the only way KSU can win this game.

But it's March, so WTF?

The radio station i'm the Program Director for is an official K State station, listening to their game after watching the massacre. It's good for business if they keep winning, at least until a potential final four match up, and I will not hide my bias on the air should that happen.

Nice start for K-State, and then a combination of Kentucky defense and hooooorrrible Kansas State offense have allowed Kentucky to pull this back even. 

If this is K-State's offense all game, they don't have a chance. 

Thing about Kentucky is that they're kinda the same story every year: Lots of flashy stars, kind of muddle through the season without blowing you away, but they pull it together late and they're really dangerous. 

Cal is as slimy as it gets, but he's actually really good at what he does.

We didn't look great against pressure, and we don't have quite as many killer ballhandlers as we have in the past...

But there are great transition opportunities if they press. And it sounds like they're not a great 3-point team. They sound a bit like A&M on offense, actually.

I'll take either. Michigan has a better defense than either is facing now.

I want to face whichever team makes it easier for Michigan to win. Strength of schedule does not mean shit in the tournament.

Gonzaga cannot get the ball inbounds from under their own basket.  Florida St. neutering their inbounds plays with a 1-3-1 zone look.   Give JB a few hours to draw up some countermeasures if we play FSU

K State is going to be playing their walk ons in the last two minutes too.  Unfortunately because the whole team is going to foul out.  Kentucky shot 23 free throws in the first half.

Also Zags on a major run here.  I would love to play this FSU team.

Thank God we didn’t get the refs from the UK/KSU game. Brutal. Calling a foul every 30 seconds. Let them play a little. Jesus.
