I agree. I like MKG more and more each time I see him play.

should have lost. what an abysmal last minute.

[whygohome?]

This was a great test for our team. We couldn't have looked much worse in the 1st and made a complete 180 and looked like the #1 team in the 2nd.

We are ready for the tournament.

Really can not see anyone but Kentucky winning the NCAA

That's 3 years in a row they thought they had us beat and we ripped their hearts out. I love it

[thebridge15]

Kidd-Gilchrist is so fucking good.

[thebridge15]

I'm the only Carolina fan I know that actually likes Kentucky, but it's cause I'm not actually from Carolina.

[Rodey]

Dee Bost is good player.

Barnes on Marshall tonight ...

"They played him like Rondo and he scored like D-Rose.

[whygohome?]

I'm so proud of the way my team battled tonight. Things got dicey and they played like they were winning the whole game.

I'll take the field. I'm almost positive they won't win. It's probably more likely that they won't make the FF.

I might applaud Harrison in our marketing class tomorrow just cause of this quote.

Kendall's the best.

Interesting perspective.

[Proudest Bonzai]

I'll always take the field over one single team (except Carolina in 09) but Kentucky has been the wire to wire best team in the country in my mind. I still think they're the cream of the crop, but also think there are 6 or 7 teams out there that could beat them on a given night.

I can. they're the favorites, but that means nothing in a single elimination format.

so do I. losing to K-State may actually help Mizzou this weekend. Kansas should win by double digits, but I don't think they will. You can't count on the home cooking you got in Columbia, but you CAN count on Taylor turning the ball over and missing free throws if the game is close under two minutes. I hope KU gets up big and puts their foot on Mizzou's throats and removes all doubt.

If Marshall can develop that kind of consistency offensively, he'll be really scary at the next level.

[kydmb99]

I like UK's chances but no team is ever a lock for a Final 4 no matter how good they are. Does anyone really think UConn was the best team in the country last year? I could see a number of teams knocking UK out.

how do you make it through four months of a season without watching a top 5 team play? they are good, just had a bad night.... probably looking ahead to the game at Allen Field House on Saturday.

hopefully Kansas doesn't fall into the same trap and lay an egg in College Station tonight.

I haven't watched a second of Murray State live, but they don't count.

I've watched them twice (the only two televised games they've played). Makes me feel a bit disingenuous to say a team isn't good or couldn't beat Team A on a neutral court if I haven't seen them play. I've changed my tune on Murray St.... I still think they're ranked too high in the polls, but I think they should get an at large bid if they don't win their conference tourney.

one mid-major that nobody should want in their bracket is Wichita St.. They're good enough to be this years Butler, VCU, etc...

[cry_minarets458]

Marquette/Rutgers tonight. Kind of nervous since Rutgers was able to stick around Syracuse the whole game on Sunday.
