I still can't breathe from our game lol. I love my team, but can we win in a blowout once this tourney? That sounds like more fun for a fan lol
The rest of the day will be a helluva lot more fun to watch now! WOOOO!
Drinks go down so much smoother after a big time win.
Bottoms up! Cardinals down.
Love that UK fans were all cheering for Michigan during the game haha
As a bunch of us predicted. Was a big factor when they got in the game on our side, I thought.
the ACC will be OUT! lol. Down to 2 teams. Granted, it's Duke/UNC but still. Down to 2 teams from 9...
All we need now is a Kansas demolition of MSU and it'll be a perfect weekeend of basketball!
but either way. This team will beat either one of them. There's no one left in the region that this team can't beat. We just took care of the 2 matchups that were the worst for us
KU just lost to TCU in Kansas City, they are by no means unbeatable there.
I'm actually REALLY looking forward to this UK/Wichita St. game - this is a tremendous matchup on paper.
Did Mitchell really have 19? If so it felt like a really quiet 19.
He also took 17 shots! I would not have guessed that.
Shockers athleticism and rim protection is impressive. Two more teams the committee fucked by underseeding Wichita State.
Okay real talk. Anyone else think the regular Nike basketball jerseys are better than Jordan brand ones?
Look how nice Kentucky, Xavier and Duke's jerseys are. So clean.
Women's hockey national championship is on BTN right now. Wisconsin and Clarkson.
I REALLY like seeing 7 Mich 73 2 Lou 69 in the upper right corner of the KY game.
getting the underdog treatment on that last possession down low.
Gregg Marshall with Kentucky caliber recruits would be nasty. I always wonder what his potential would be at a P5 school.
Indiana is probably going to take a run at him so we might get to find out.
can he recruit that level of talent.
Archie Miller, Dane Fife, and Brad Stevens would be my short list with Marshall. Oh yeah, guy at Xavier too.
Chris Mack.
Admire the Louisville fans who stuck around to root against Kentucky out of spite. I'm not sure I would be that strong.
They lost twice today.
Heh heh.
on Monk. A little sloppy in the last minute.
EDIT: on Fox.
UK their usual collection of poorly coached uber athletes, I see.
volleyball game just broke out.
Morris on Wichita is a great post defender, he's already altered a ton of shots.
If you're surprised that this team is mentally tough, maybe start watching college basketball before Thursday.
Barkley doesn't know anything about college ball, but Kenny Smith seems to follow it - obviously more ACC focused.
CBS has been heaping attention and praise on Michigan this entire tournament so far; they've embraced the "team of destiny" narrative. I think it's great, even if they're not that knowledgeable.
Given their support for us if you're in the arena do you return the favor to Kentucky fans? Or do you root for the upset?
I love to see Calipari go down. Should be a great finish.
March Madness is the best!
Seeding travesty, these were four of the 16 (8?) best teams.
I've never seen an NCAA tournament where so many of the 1st and 2nd round games felt like Regional Finals.
Folks in Indy are getting their money's worth today.
This would be a great place to be today. Beer and hot dogs in hand, screaming with the crowd. Would be awesome
Goodness, what a game. WSU putting up a fight
Next week will be even better (for us!).
This is where Brian's cut off a finger for a timeout reform would be great.
