College Hoops 11/9/12 - 11/10/12

Yeah not impressed with UK at all. I wasn't sure why they were ranked as high as they were in the first place. Maryland very well may do this.

 

[aiw]

49 first half points. 8 in 12 minutes in the 2nd half

I agree that UK is not impressive...but I think Maryland will screw this up and lose. They are leaving far too many points on the court...SO MANY missed open shots, missed layups, missed stuff around the basket, etc.

I don't know if bazz is out for the year, actually. Knowing the NCAA it will be some 3 or 6 game bullshit.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

LOL, ESPN just put an incorrect graphic up there. They displayed Duke has having 5 NCAAT Titles. Oops.

This.

Also, they decide to crack down on UCLA and not UK? LOL

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Honestly zero doubt UK wins, but it will be unimpressive and they will be mad going into the Duke game. We may need Jefferson on Kyle "Larry Bird" Wiltjer.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

Refs just aren't calling fouls against UK but are calling them against UMD. UK has been in the bonus for a while and it's helped them get some key points.

Maryland is just TERRIBLE on offense.

BTW, Noel doesn't look like he knows how to play basketball. His version of D is to stand around the basket looking for a blocked shot. The Maryland players are working him in ways that shouldn't happen for someone of his size and athleticism.

 

[Thain]

Well one thing is for sure. If Noel doesn't work out in basketball he will have a great career in an 80's style r & B group.

 

[Thain]

Mason vs. Len will be very interesting.

 

[ChibCU]

Jefferson on Wiltjer for sure. And I agree officiating is suspect in this game.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

Maryland is also just playing dumb basketball. Just had 2 needless turnovers in a row in crunch time.

yeah, they havent even played that well tonight.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

UK is in double-bonus and Maryland isn't even sniffing the bonus.

Refs just won't call a foul on UK. UK goes to the floor aggressively, no call. Maryland goes to the floor for a ball, foul called against the Maryland player.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

Maryland with 27 offensive rebounds...but shooting 32% so they haven't been able to do anything with all those offensive boards.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

Noel just had a serious reach again...no call.

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

Really dumb foul by Maryland...down by 2 with 30 seconds left (24 on the shot clock), they fouled one of UK's best FT shooters at the top of the key while UK is in the double-bonus. This is the kind of dumb stuff that loses you a game.

 

[aiw]

Alex Len was such a spazz last year. I guess he's improved significantly

 

[FoolishTarHeel]

What a pathetic final possession by Maryland.
