Kentucky or Louisville?

Oh right, also, Louisville is just better, so we want Kentucky to win.

Pressure is a problem.  They know us from last year, so prep is easier for them.  They have been there and won it, so no pressure for them.

I don't think it is going to matter what we want, because I think UL beats UK by double digits tonight.

"here we go offense here we go" lol

Haha. It's not MSU on cbs, but MIST. I was like why is some random team playing UVA.

I want the loser of this game.

The announcers for the MSU game just said Izzo is one of their favorite people in the whole world. Nice objectivity. Not saying a word about Virginia.

Louisville. No doubt about it. 

multiple NCAA rule violater and total prick  vs multiple NCAA rule violater and adulterer

 

Tough call

Louisville. Any time Calipari gets his greasy ass beat is a good time. 

And yes, I know Pitino isn't exactly Mr. Clean, but he's my favorite crooked coach in the NCAA. 

Louisville up 18-5 with 11 minutes left in the half....

 

I would love UK because I think they are the easier out, but this feels like a rematch all the way.

Nantes says James Young chose Kentucky to follow in the footsteps of his idol Tashaun Prince.

Who's idol is Tashaun Prince?

uk - uk/lou is as big as it gets for them. you hope whoever wins it has a big let down sunday. likelier to happen on a team full of freshman.

Tennessee game turned out to be a perfect prep for Louisville. The sloppiness against pressure D provides JB plenty of teaching points to prepare for Louisville's pressure.

I want Kentucky. Don't think they're disciplined defensively enough to hang with us. That said, if we do get Kentucky, it'd be awesome if Julius Randle goes pro right before the game. That kid is a monster.

Out inability to inbound the damn ball makes Louisville scary.

I hate what Kentucky stands for . . . "One-and-Done-U".

 

Very loud environment !

once we won I was torn. Louisville is Louisville and we haven't handled a great press team with consistency this year. Plus they are an "old school" great CBB team in that they have older guys but can pull young All-American level guys off the bench. Then again, Kentucky is a hired gun 1 & done team. Essentially a starting 5 of NBA players with 2 being sure fire lottery guys. Nobody is mentioning Smith and I'm watching this dude (not effecting my indecision) not only carve up Kentucky but get his little ass in the pile to pull down rebounds, ha. Don't forget how quick/smart he is. I just think it's going to be tough either way. In all honesty, in the brackets I didn't pick Michigan winning it I had us losing today, 2 vs duke & one vs Tenn. To end, watching this game I can only hope the winner is worn out physically and emotionally as, call me what you will, I think our only chance at a win would be UK playing terribly as we rained 3s all night. Seed aside, another win next week is truly an upset by us as opposed to the media sparked non upset win today.

Rather have KY but I doubt they'll win tonight

Kentucky must have some really awkward "Senior Nights"

Either. I think Louisville showed their zone opens deep shots. Kentucky looks very undisciplined and potentially prone to fouling. However, KY looks physical and big. And Louisville looks big, fast and scrappy. Coach will find a matchup nightmare with either team. I like our chances. We've beat the best in the best conference.

Much more relaxing to watch non UM games.

Ace needs to make a GIF of the Adrian Payne held ball.  MSU having a little cold spell.

MSU has blown their lead. Tied at 23.

So has Louisville.

Wow!!

Louisville is a three-man team:  Smith, Harell, and Hancock.  If you get anyone of those guys in foul trouble, you're going to beat Louisville.

 

Sounds like Cauley-Stein might be out.  With Kentucky down a 7-footer that makes them a little less scary.

Do you root for MSU for the Big Ten to get 3 into the Elite 8, or do you root for Virginia to shut up the Spartan lovefest?
