Don't Know A Damn Thing About.......

.........Buffalo or Valparaiso and very little about Maryland. But what I do know is that I would absolutely love for the Mountaineers to play Kentucky in a Sweet Sixteen Game.

Let's Goooooooooo Mountaineers!!!!!

I'd love to see Cincy do the job for us however unlikely so we could turn around and whup their asses.....but yeah I hear ya...a chance to upset Kentucky would be epic....

These tournaments are fun to watch..... I don't know crap about most of the teams in the thing, but Kentucky is undoubtedly an exceptional team. Things like their undefeated season and the talent and depth of their team don't come along very often.

There's an opportunity for the Mountaineers to be a part of this thing and I hope we get a shot.

The trouble with UK is about the only way you can beat them is if they shoot about 25%......and I don't know how you force that because they take so many shots close to the hoop. But even if they do shoot poorly, their size, athleticism, and numbers are just so great that they can offset bad shooting by just running their defense out at the opponent (and controlling the glass).

Yep, from what I've seen of that Kentucky bunch they are going to have to 'help' someone beat them...... I believe there're teams, Arizona and Wisconsin come to mind, out there that can do it, but not without some 'help' from the Big Blue Boys themselves.

........and btw, I do believe that could very well happen simply because of Kentucky's youth.

As much as I respect Huggins, and follow the Moutaineers. This game will be a nightmare for WVU. Kentucky isn't a team that you want to speed up. I know WVU's press is their staple, but Kentucky will eat you alive in a transition game. IF the game happens, expect the Cats to stick with a 3 guard line-up for the majority of the game, with Ulis, and the Harrison Twins. WCS and Towns are two bigs who run the floor well. Kentucky has faced 2 pretty good pressing teams in Louisville, and Arkansas, and they didn't have any success trying to force Kentucky in to an up-tempo game. Either way, good luck in the tourney, and I hope to see you guys in the Sweet Sixteen.

And as much as I respect Kentucky...2 of the panel including Keating, on Giant Killers selected us to beat you...I like Peter...he's a solid fella.
