Vandy - Kentucky

[mauchow]

Kentucky started off horribly in this game. But when Vanderbilt had to sub out their starters, everything went downhill for them up to this point. There's 5 minutes left in the 1st half and Kentucky is down by 2 after trailing by 12 early on.

One reason why Kentucky will win:

Their 6-7 men are better than Vandy's.

Another reason, Vandy's Center now has 3 fouls(13 pts so far).

Should be a good finish AT Vanderbilt.

5 pt game at halftime, Vandy's lead.

Its getting harder and harder to hate Kentucky now that Pitino is gone, and there isn't 12 McDonald's All-American's on the team.

I hear ya. I'm glad I am a Badgers fan at this point in time. We're really starting to come around. Could be a huge team in the next few years with the recruits we have.

lol

8-0 run to start the 2nd half for Kentucky, 3 pt lead for 'em

UNC is getting handled at Clemson..

Other big games, Marquette and Louisville...

Also Cincinatti has a good game too. All on TV.. Woot

Good day.. *puts hand down pants*

Last year this game was close for a little while...then Kentucky won by 60. They won't win by 60 today, but I think we can see which team came out to play the second half.

[mauchow]

8 point game. Kentucky is playin tight defense and also playing much better on offense.

Yeah, now I predict 20 + victory for the Wildcats, unless the fans come alive. And they need to quickly.

10 pt game

[mauchow]

The crowd is back, and so is Vanderbilt... 4 pt game

Kentucky is taking off-balance shots now, tsk tsk...

Vandy's ball.. The crowd is going crazy..

[sooner333]

Speaking of vandy...anyone ever think about their weird court. I mean, the sideline area is rediculous, and the benches are on the baseline. I guess there is a reason. Someone from my HS walked-on last year at Vandy and he said at first it was weird, but then when they travelled, he kinda wondered why all teams didn't do it that way.

[sooner333]

Dola...yeah, Vandy is on their way back, I'm surprised, it looked like Kentucky was in complete control of this one.

[mauchow]

I was curious about the set up too.. It's kind of annoying to see the coach talking to his players for a second while they're inbounding the ball. My thoughts on that. But it's cool, probably reduces the complaining from the benches I would suppose, since each team can't really see that closely from that far away.

2 minutes to go!!! ONE POINT LEAD FOR VANDY.. Holy hell

[JonInMiddleGA]

From way downtown ... BANG !

[mauchow]

Minute to go, Vandy up by 2, with the ball..

Very excellent. I love the underdogs.

[mauchow]

Turn the game on guys.. 25 seconds to go. Kentucky ball, down by two...

[mauchow]

Over the back not called.. Vanderbilt ball, 2 freethrows, sunk.

4 pt game, 14 seconds to go.. WOOT

[mauchow]

That's game.

Vandy wins it.

Kentucky now drops out of top 10. lol

It's going to be one interesting march madness. It'll be impossible to pick 'em once the brackets come out. Just impossible.

Sometimes you make the plays, sometimes you don't.
Today, Vandy owned those critical moments.
Great win, darned good game.

{now if Tech can just keep the upset ball rolling against Duke}
