I like watching Jordan Hulls. Just a solid college point guard. Probably not going to play in the NBA or anything, but he can run a team.

Okay, so if UK wins the NC you owe me ^^^. If the Zags win the NC, I owe you ^^^.
The number selected is in honor of my peeps here in the 435.

Indiana lowering the boom on UNC... Impressive
@Duck - Well at least the Zags will likely get a high seed in the tourney, based on record. This, based on the fact they only play 2 ranked opponents all year, with only one in the top 20 (Oklahoma State at #15).
Like I said on page 1 .. they'll get hyped and then fall way short once the tourney starts and they play real competition.

Going to be a really tough game at Notre Dame. The Irish' top 5 players/contributors are either juniors or seniors. UK's top 6 are all freshman and 1 soph.
3 to 4 years of playing together, playing at home, where they rarely lose, vs. 5 freshman that will be playing their 6th game together. Should be close and I wouldn't ben overly disappointed with a close loss.

I'm excited for the game, and I think it is going to be pretty close (I would be a lot more confident if it was a football game). Unfortunately, I will not be able to catch the first half because of a prior commitment.
I haven't watched any Kentucky basketball this season, but I'm going to assume they are more athletic than Notre Dame. ND needs to avoid turnovers and finish around the rim. It would be nice if Pat C. caught fire as well.

Tonight's game of the night....
#2 Duke
vs
#4 Ohio State
Should be a good game, but I'll probably try to find a feed of the Utah-SMU game instead. I'm not crazy about Duke or Ohio State.

I just want to go on the record stating that I do not like this prediction because: A) I'm biased, and B) Notre Dame was on the tail end of a back to back. They lost an emotional overtime game against St. Joseph's the night prior. They'll be fresh against UK.

@kennykyle C) BYU didn't almost beat them. BYU lost by 10.

Were up by 7 with like 10 minutes left ..... It was a close game, free throws at the end can make a game look a lot different. Your OT theory does hold some water though. But so does my BYU isnt that good this year theory.

Truth. I didn't actually catch the game. My apologies. Rep'd for "putting me in my place"
(I have to spread some rep around apparently)
Cooley will do fine, I'm sure. I'd predict a big game, in fact.
Calipari does things exactly the opposite every other coach .. he teaches offense first and then, around the first of the year, dials in the defense. His teams seem to really respond to this and take the defense very seriously come crunch time. Point is .. Cooley should have a very big rebound game and should be seasoned enough to score around UK's less experienced front court.
And yes, UK will be WAY more athletic.
