    Kentucky rolls tomorrow

    Lonzo may be the best player on the floor, but kentucky may have the 2nd through 5th.

    Kentuckys length and athleticism on defense will be too much for the bruins who have been allergic to defense all season.

    pound it.

    It should be entertaining and high scoring rematch. I hope Kentucky wins just so we can hear LaVar the clown spend the next week on every talk show slamming another head coach because his son couldn't deliver.

    Agreed. Leaf and Holliday might have good games, but I suspect UK should outplay them at every other position and on the bench. I think Bryce Alford is gonna have problems depending on who guards him. And it's not a given that Lonzo is head and shoulders better than Monk.

    You guys are underestimating ucla ability to score. If the play like they did in the 2h against cincy Kentucky is in trouble.

    Who has the better frontcourt?

    I think Fox is the best player I've seen all year. Hate Kentucky, but the kid is unstoppable. Arizona screwed me, so I'll probably take Kentucky anyway.

    Fox is really good. No one can stay in front of him. These two teams are very similar but something tells me UCLA will make more outside shots and that will be the difference.

    Willis and Monk are the keys for us to win. Monk is going to have to get out of his slump and get 20+ and Willis has to rebound well and try and keep welsh/leaf from doing their thing. Welsh owned us the last two times they've played. Willis will be the X factor

    Yes they are. Monk and Fox more gifted, Ball more heady and a playmaker.

    Agree with whomever said Monk is X factor... If he can put together a complete game, K wins. Fox will get his. Monk is the scorer that K needs to push them over the top on this one.

    Not even worth discussing the defenses here, as it is not the difference maker. Both teams have kids that can score at will...

    Ball seems like a good kid, his dad is definitely messing him up trying to live through him right now. It's gonna be a really tough game. It'll also be quite a show with Fox, Monk, Ball, Leaf and Bam on display. I like our chances but not confident by any means. Bam has progressed alot since that game and Willis has stepped up his defense much better. We can't let UCLA hit 50% from 3 again or we're toast. Defend the 3 better and Monk hit some shots and I think we move on. Now I'm gonna go pace until the game is over lol

    It seemed like Wichita state had that Cinderella fire in them this yr until Kentucky snuffed it out. Guys on that team playing out of their mind against Kentucky especially that shamet kid chucking up prayers and watching them go in. The essence of march madness? Fox easily better yet they were going back and forth toe to toe

    In a tournament format, anyone can have an off night or get hot from 3. WVU played out of their minds and shot well over their average in that one. Should we have won? Yes but I don't consider it a failure. They were freshmen

    Actually Duke had the number 1 class coming in this year and by far more talent. One team is still playing, guess who. Cal has more Final Fours than any other coach in the last 8 years, 1 title but coaching mostly freshmen. Ask Coach K and Tom Izzo how easy it is. Izzo has a quote from a couple weeks ago saying he now has more respect for Cal and what he does with his young teams. Look at what Kansas has done the last few years with veteran players. Give me Cal any day of the week. The best recruiter, not the best coach by any means but he IS a good coach and can get freshmen playing together better than anyone in the country and this year proves that 100%

    True....but a lot is expected of him....Ball lets him game talk....KY cant give up 45 a half and win...........Adebayo could play a HUGE part and his FT shooting has to come into play you would think..they shoot 25-30 FT and only go 60%....they lose....missed possessions there.....

    There are a lot of good teams winning titles is really really hard. While most teams have peaks and velleys and small Windows where they can win a title cal has had Kentucky in the hunt every year.

    Probably wont win again this year just because you hace unc and kansas who are both loaded with talent and have experience.

    I disagree. Kentucky could hang 100 on this ucla team.

    Biggest difference maker for me...if ball doesn't play great ucla has no shot.

    Kentucky can have an off game from a key guy and be fine. Much deeper with guys who can make plays.

    I agree, I'm just hoping Butler can pull off the upset lol. Otherwise I have a hard time believing we can get through UCLA, UNC and then Kansas. I do believe whoever wins on this side of the bracket, wins it all. Kansas is looking really really impressive.

    Briscoe came with zero energy last game(how do you step out of bounds on the baseline 3 times in one game??) and was a complete non factor. I expect that to be different this time. We can't let Welsh shoot wide open jumpers all night and we have win the rebound battle by a good amount. Monk is due for a big game.

    Having said everything I've said in all my posts. I would in no way whatsoever bet on us to win haha. One I don't wanna jinx us, two I think this could be a last possession game. If I had points I'd throw them on UCLA to jinx them though
