Murray State end the half on an offensive tear. With the 2-point conversion, they score 8 in the last 1 1/2 minutes, and take a 26-22 lead off the gridiron. Now for the halftime show!

Crap, this is too painful. I'm going away now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I'll see you back here Monday.

No crying emoticon, or it'd be all over this post!

Murray definitely had a great chance here, but it is VERY hard to win a game when you turn the ball over +10 times, much less 16. AND not hit free throws. FT alone cost them the win. Tough loss, but VERY glad to see my old school win a game here, and proud of 'em for hanging tough. Rebounds and a better shooting % kept them in there. Butler will need to do better than this against a school that can hang on to the ball better. They got it done today though, and my hat off to them and good luck!

Kansas.... oh my!!!!

. Takes the sting out a little

.

Some fun games to watch here. Pac-10 representing well, good on you, Washington!

Poet, you keep this up and your keyboard will melt!!!

UK looked strong again tonight. Shaky start, but they rubbed the sleepies out of their eyes pretty quickly, and really handled Wake well. Looking forward to watching the other #1's play.

'Cuse me...

WildBlueSooner · 03-21-2010, 02:10 PM

I would love to see a Cuse and UK final, but I dont see Cuse getting past KSU.

WildBlueSooner · 03-21-2010, 02:36 PM

Gotta love Cornell!

jaycarla · 03-21-2010, 03:02 PM

Amazing finish in the Mich State/Maryland game!

gettysburgfreak · 03-21-2010, 03:43 PM

I think if Syracuse plays like they did against Zaga then they should have no problem against KSU. I am from Syracuse so I gotta go with them no matter what.

The best way to beat the 'Cuse is to outshoot them from beyond the arc. If you can't do that it's going to be a tough row to hoe. I don't see them having a problem with Kansas, and further down the road Kentucky is not a good 3 shooting team, and most likely would face a matchup nightmare against Syraucse.

I will have to disagree here for sure...they way to beat a 3 pt shooting team is not to try to out shoot them. UK would beat them with crazy defensive pressure and upping the tempo to a pace SU could not handle. Kentucky is to athletic, to good in the post, and will be able to penetrate against SU.

You are right about UK not being a good 3 pt shooting team, but they have not had issues playing against good shooting teams this year. When UK plays well, nobody can handle all of the threats (Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Patterson, Miller, Liggins, Dodson, etc.)

SU's strength isn't their shooting accuracy, it's their D. The offense is a nice little bonus. Few teams play the 2-3 zone, and Syracuse is the master of it, it's extremely difficult to penetrate against them. If the two
play and Kentucky can't hit from
long range, it's going to be a problem for them

Oops...you forgot to mention Butler.

gettysburgfreak · 03-25-2010, 07:08 PM

Syracuse played like absolute **** and by no means deserved to win. God damn I see this time and time again, typical Syracuse basketball in March.

WildBlueSooner · 03-21-2010, 04:52 PM

Keep in mind UK beat Louisville and their stingy 2-3 zone. Also, keep in my UL beat Cuse...twice!

03-21-2010, 05:21 PM

Which proves what?

h

Look, if they play each other I guess we'll find out who wins, won't we? Until then my opinion of Kentucky is much the same as it is of Kansas, ovverrated. Kentucky consisently struggled all year against teams they suppossedly were a lot better than. Play like that now and you're goin home. And no, you're not going to change my mind

My thoughts exactly, but in regards to Syracuse instead. UL was not a great team this year, way inconsistent and not nearly as good a team as 'Cuse, but they took Syracuse's lunch money twice, no??? Syracuse = overrated, IMO.

Hey, we can trade back and forth all night, but the rubber hits the road when the games start, so we'll see then. I do agree that Kansas was a bit overrated, but I never expected them to go so flat this early in the tourney, and I figured them to make it to the finals over 'Cuse. Can't believe they decided to wait to press till that late in the game.

All I can say is I hope we meet...I think it is funny people are still calling UK overrated, yet Cuse and Puke are the other 1 seeds

I love it! College Basketball at its finest...

My prediction...UK over KSU 84 to 72 for title number 8! Although I would love to beat Cuse instead. Oh and what team hasnt had close games...I dont care if we won every game by one point..a win is a win is a win, havent you been watching the tournament. I one point game in the championship game means one thing...you just won the National Championship in exciting fashion!

And I dont plan on changing your mind....I will let the b-ball do that
