Kentucky-West Virginia: Early on, the pace favors the Wildcats. Brandon Knight has shown up for this one. Maybe the game-winner against Princeton got him going.

Ever since that 30-point home loss to WVU I've had an irrational fear of them, but they really don't look very good this year. Kentucky seems talented, although pretty inconsistent.
I think we should beat both of these teams, but I'd rather play WVU.

Pretty sure I'd rather see the Buckeyes play WVU in the Sweet 16.
Thoughts?

No question.
IMO, the teams OSU would want to avoid (like we have any say in it) are the ones who have the demonstrated ability to shoot the 3 well. UK can do it and do it in volume.

Kentucky's shooting 55.6%, yet WVU is hanging around, only down by three. They're in a good position, especially if they can get UK to cool off a bit.

Good game, but I feel like either team would have to play quite a bit better to beat the Buckeyes.

What a great effort by Thoroughman to follow his own miss at the FT line.
Kentucky has lost their minds with stupid fouls. The refs missed one earlier on Vargas too, where he dunked the ball and gave a two-handed shove to a WVU player right in the chest as he ran to the other end.
WVU leads 41-33 at the half.

Kentucky has actually maintained their shooting percentage in the midst of the WVU run (slightly increased, actually) but WVU shot well enough to close out the half to increase from 37% to 48%.
I liked the interview with Huggins going into the locker room. They asked him why he thought the zone defense was working against UK, just like last year. Reading between the lines of his response, he basically said, "I'm not telling, why don't you ask Calipari and see if he's figured it out yet."
BTW, I don't even have to check their boards to know that UK fans are going apeshit right now - not only are they losing at the moment, but then the halftime show comes on they get to hear Rick Pitino tell them about it.
