Well I don't remember, maybe.

There are lots of calls throughout the game. May I remind you last year, UNC scored their last 14 points from the line and won by 2.

when?

Are you talking about the offensive rebound where they called a foul on Kentucky late in the game and Kellogg was questioning whether or not it was a shot attempt? I know you aren't saying it wasn't a foul but are saying it wasn't a shot attempt. The replay showed he was attempting a putback.

I'm not saying the officials were the reason Kentucky won. I think both Kentucky and UNC are very evenly matched and, like everyone already knew, the two most talented teams in America. We saw that today.

[ukfan22]

No, it was a foul, but I don't think the replay showed he was shooting.

But yes, it was a great game, good luck.

Ehhh....I'm not sure about that. I'm a UNC fan but Ohio State looks real good right now. That beating of Duke was pretty impressive.

[ukfan22]

OSU is definitely on UNC/UK's level, especially with the addition of Ross.

I said most talented teams. Not the clear cut two best teams. And I think Duke was being overrated by beating some "paper tigers" in Maui. Ohio State and Syracuse are right there with UNC and Kentucky right now, in my opinion, as the best teams in the country.

There's a reason coach K doesn't schedule true non-conference road games. He got into a game with a more talented Ohio State team and the officials didn't fall for all the Duke flops and didn't let Duke play the way they are accustomed to playing on defense (hacking and slapping) and they got beat.

I misread. UNC is definitely full of talent.

As much as I want Gonzaga to lose, I really like Robert Sacre. I'd take him on my team anyday.

[IlliniFan]

Offense looks good so far. Good movement and getting some open looks.

[wang4three]

Too many turnovers, guys not being on the same page. I do like this high low thing we're doing with Griffey/Leonard. If it works, it could be dangerous.

[wang4three]

Maniscalco is like everything I wanted Trent Meacham to be.

[IlliniFan]

Entire front line in foul trouble. Ibby and Shaw at the 4 and 5 is going to be ugly. Please get Griffey back in there.

[wang4three]

DJ Richardson is that dude!

Our individual post defense has been bad since Weber has been coach. Since the days of Auggie, our bigs play defense by just conceding position and putting their hands in the air. I'm really surprised that Weber hasn't done anything in teaching how to push out, front, or just being tougher inside. It's really an enigma.

Our perimeter defense, trapping and rotations have been great though, for the most part.
