College Basketball '14-15......

I srsly don't know how UK can possibly stop two almost 10 footers in Dekker and Kaminsky. Pic for proof.

Official Predictions? (funny that almost all media saying something like, "I am picking Wisconsin, even though no one can beat Kentucky besides Kentucky." Haters.

UK - 71
Wiscy - 64

ND made UK look somewhat vulnerable so more folks think Wisconsin can get it done. Wiscy is a bigger, better version of the Irish after all. But PKM is about right. I'll say 67-57 for UK. If Kentucky was going to lose it was that ND game.

This reminds me of something else I've been laughing about with media..

Pre-Notre Dame --- "UK is vulnerable because they haven't felt any pressure because they have been blowing people out.. wait until they have a close game late in the clock."

Post-Notre Dame ---- "UK is vulnerable because they had a close game."

Exactly. They were a bit vulnerable pre-ND, but like you say, you can't have it both ways.

On an unrelated note, if I'm Cal, I wear out Towns in the post just like in the 2nd half vs ND. Doesn't matter that Wisconsin is bigger, I don't see Kaminsky stopping him down there. Force the double team.

Huh?
 
Andrew Harrison 6'6 --- Jackson 6'2
Aaron Harrison 6'6 --- Koenig 6'3
Trey Lyles 6'10 --- Nigel Hayes 6'7
Karl Towns 6'11 --- Dekker 6'9
WCS 7'0 --- Kaminsky 6'11 (maybe 6'10)
 
Oh.. haha.. yeah, now I get it.
Yeah my point was that conventional wisdom might suggest you only go that route because Notre Dame is so small, but honestly, I don't know that it matters a ton - Towns may just be that good, especially against a pretty mediocre defender. And if they get the Tank in early foul trouble, the Badgers are toast.

True.. But it's actually more likely they get the freshman Towns in early foul trouble.. Way more likely.
 
I need UK to win it all in order to win $300 in my bracket pool but I'm starting to feel like it's worth losing just to see tears streaming down the faces of the entitled *** Kentucky fans.
