JC Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I can't believe Thad didn't call a time out to draw up a play to get Diebler a ball on that last possession. Great recruiter, not a great guy on the X's and O's. Game was incredible though. Can't believe Lamb had such a poor game. Dude is a stud. Harrelson reminds me of Zoubek last year. DeAndre Liggins was awesome tonight. Brandon Knight didn't play great, but showed why he is going to make a great NBA PG next year with that shot at the end. Terrence Jones is just a fuggin' load. Cal should use him a lot like Derrick Williams is used. Get him on the pick and roll a lot more and feed him inside the post more! Lord have mercy. When it comes to guard play, UK has two absolute studs back there. Brandon Knight is a top 5 college PG. Went off for thirty two games ago and could do it again. Even though he isn't Nolan Smith, Kendal Marshall is sllllooooowwwww. Molasses like. Nolan killed the kid this year. Kendall has been in a bit of a funk ever since teams have slacked off him a bit. Not a very good shooter and not a very good finisher. He does penetrate and dish with the best of him. He might have the best vision of all the PG's in college right now. Guy is a pinpoint passer. Cannot let Kendall Marshall beat you. He is the engine of this team. He is the reason for their turn around this year. They were returning to the NIT before Kendall came back. I know for a fact that B.Knight is a explosive player. Could have a fantastic day. At two guard, the Holes put Dexter Strickland out there and he cannot shoot, plays decent defense and is good in transition. Lamb might be neutralized by Dexter, who is very athletic and can shut a player down, or he can over-pursue and get burnt, hence Seth Curry's 20 point effort against UNX. Very vulnerable too getting in foul trouble. They will put Leslie McDonald out there too and he shoots decently. Not much to worry about though. At the three, they put out Harrison "douchebag" Barnes. He is a douche, like I mentioned and a mouth-breather. Fuck him. Anyways, he has hit some fire lately and is getting his. In the match-up with Duke though, Kyle Singler was physical with him and played some kick ass defense and just dominated him. From what I have seen, DeAndre Liggings, is a lock-down defender and from what I saw tonight, dude seems to have a nasty streak. If he shuts Barnes down, who will get some tacky fouls, I promise, it could be really ugly. Harrison plays good solid D though and will probably limit Liggins' opportunities. He isn't as athletic as Liggins' though. Guard play adv: UK. Carolina folds easily to teams that play good hard-nosed defense. They should have been outed earlier in the tourney by UW, but UW had a few calls go the wrong way. If Brandon Knight can slap Kendall around and Terrence Jones has his way with stick-figure Henson, Big Blue is going to the final four to face Kemba/Williams. They do seem to pull out the close games though. Don't let the game be close, because Barnes has put a dagger in a few teams this year. Good luck UK. Fuck UNC, Roy, Dean, and everything associated with those assholes. I'd rather eat my own vomit then see them and their arrogant prick coach in the final 4. Not to mention UK: 82 UNX: 2 I hope. Sully saying he is coming back to college. I hope he does and it influences Kyrie to come back as well. Heard Sully was a really good dude too.

Bengal Cat Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Kentuckys length really bothered OSU tonight. They really got out and guarded the 3. UK's defense was the difference in the game. This team has grown up. It no longer has to have monster games from its freshmen to win. Who would've thought they could have taken out Ohio St with the Freshmen putting up the numbers they did? A combined 23 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Kentucky was definitely the more physical team. That said, they got away with quite a few fouls in the 2nd half. What won them the game was their defense. They were all over OSU all night, and I thought OSU did a poor job of offensive rebounding outside of Sullinger. Player of the game was whoever was guarding Diebler. He was covered most of the night, and OSU didn't do a good job of designing plays for him. Especially on the last play. No reason he should have been the inbounds man. Takes him completely out of the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't keep up that well with UK basketball this year. But Henson and Zeller just get pushed around in the paint by bigger dudes. Henson actually lets the person body them up and then takes a quick step back to try to get a travel which usually just results in two points for the other team. One thing John Henson does good though, is that he alters shots really well. Playing on Terrence Jones though, he should be pulled away from the basket quite a bit. If Harrelson keeps Zeller contained and Liggins alters Barnes shot's it should be UK's day and I am pulling for them 120%. I'm really not sure how UNX kept up with UK this year. I really think that UK is very superior to these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawgBengal Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Kentucky had 4 guys foul out of the game last time they played UNC. Plus Harrelson is a completely different player. But with all that said UNC is a much better team then they were in December. If UK comes out and plays solid D and the freshman actually contribute this game, UK should win.

Bengal Cat Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Maybe its time to play a zone. Pack it in and make Carolina win the game from outside. UK played "zero" zone against UNC in December. I know Cal loves man to man but they did play some 2-3 in the SEC tourney and against WVU. So at least they've been working on it.....lol. Only thing is, they didn't rebound real well out of the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
