In the proverbial "Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it", Kentucky is just kicking West Virginia's ass. So much for the so called pundits who though the Mountaineers had a chance to win this game. I imagine whoever the West Virginia player was that was talking some smack about Kentucky is just having a good ol time. Kentucky plays like this the rest of the way no one will stand a chance. WOW!

[Da Coach]

Yeah, because the WVU-UK game is so lopsided, I have been watching the Xavier-Arizona game. It has been a real close game and has been fun watching. But is anyone else as sick and tired of hearing repeated references to Matt Stainbrook being a Uber driver?

so nobody a little suspicious of all the fouls called on West Virginia....that sent some of their best players to the bench early and put Kentucky in the bonus by the time WVU has 2 points?

Watching their game against Maryland, the announcers were saying that they could have called a foul on West Virginia nearly every single play. They go with the 90s Knicks/Heat strategy of the refs cannot call them all.

And the guy on WVU who said Kentucky would be 36-1...he hid in the bathroom after the game to avoid reporters.

The final 4 games of the Sweet 16 are tonight (Friday, March 27)-

Louisville and Gonzaga have already advanced. Duke and Oklahoma have 2nd half leads.

Wisconsin just beat a really good Arizona team to advance to the Final Four for the second year in a row. Anyone who watched this game saw just how important it is to have players who can make outside shots. Wisconsin does it year, after year, after year.

Both teams shot extremely well (over 55%), but it was Wisconsin's 12-18 from three point distance that was the difference.

It still amazes me how Bradley managed to go the last 4 years thinking they could win without ever recruiting a single reliable outside shooter. It will remain one of the all-time mysteries of college basketball. Let's hope that changes.

[Da Coach]

The final 2 teams to advance to the Final Four, along with Wisconsin and Kentucky, will be determined today-

#7 seed Michigan State vs. #4 seed Louisville is in the 2nd half with Louisville holding a small lead most of the game.
And #2 seed Gonzaga vs. #1 seed Duke at 4:05 PM Central

Michigan State comes back and win in OT - again demonstrating that the ability to hit shots and hit FTs makes a HUGE difference
