Now they play tomorrow and UK is still sore as hell and emotions running wild, while UNC is resting and feeling good. Anyone gonna take UNC because of this or any other reason. I like UK but I know it's gonna be really damn hard, UK did play at UNC earlier this year and almost got the W, just losing a tough game by 2. So who you on??

UNC has absolutely no shot in this one... And i'm a UNC fan.... They are just way to soft, and besides barnes and marshall have no real ball players... Zeller and Henson are both skinny little girls... Harelson and Jones will absolutely beast them... Marshall is good point guard distributes the ball wonderfully... But he is not really a scorer... Calipari will just put long brand knight or even Longer Lamb, on marhsall and instruct his players not to help in any circumstances, this will cut down passing lanes and make it hard for UNC to score... And as we have seen all year UNC plays absolute ZERO I REPEAT ZERO DEFENSE.Comment -
Good points - as long as Kentucky plays to their inside strength they should definitely hurt UNC but Kentucky is pretty notorious for turning away from a winning strategy and just shooting long jumpers -- the veterans on this years Kentucky team seem to have stepped up and as long as they control the game and let the frosh dominate as a secondary threat they should win
Harrelson messed up his hand late in the game so it will be interesting to read the medical reports on how he is because he basically won that game against OSU
I know this isnt the same kentucky team as last year but that absurd showing against WVU and then again this year against WVU with the long jumpers worries me - if Roy Williams can bait them to take the jumpers like Huggins does then UNC has a good chanceComment -
UNC has been giving up alot of points in the tourney until last game when they held Marquette to 15 in the first half. If they can step it up on D again I really think this could be a really tight game, I don't see an easy game for UK. I guess it could actually go against UNC that their last game was easy, throw them off their game and UK could come in strong with the momentum from last game and run away early. Especially if UNC doesn't want to play D here.Comment -
This could be the key, UK having to play through injuries. With them wanting to get into foul trouble and Harrelson and Lamb both playing with injuries, it could get ugly for them if this comes into play. Here's what Lamb said about his ankle “It still hurts, but I have been fighting through it. I still get treatment, but I still have to fight through it.”—Freshman G Doron LambComment
