ND vs UK

[WTSooner]

ND is the first team UK has faced this tourney that has a chance. I don't know much about ND other than they have multiple guys that can/do shoot the 3 well. That is one way to beat UK. Knock down a bunch of 3's.

It would also open up the bracket for Wisky to make the NC game, which is good for my brackets.

That loss goes squarely on the ND coach. Some very questionable decisions down the stretch.

That was great defense on the final shot. You have a 7 footer chase the shooter down the court. Not many teams have that luxury.

That was one incredible game

Not many teams have three 7 footers on their team either...

If OU is going to lose in the Tourney, I would want to lose the way ND did...playing the best game they could possibly play, but simply lose to a superior team. The closest we ever came to that was the OT loss in the 1987 Sweet 16 to Iowa. We were a #6 and they were a #2. Both teams brought their 'A' game, and it took a 3-point shot with one second left to beat us. We played a decent game last night, but nowhere near the performance ND put on tonight.

1999 vs. Michigan State

Not the last second loss. But a good fight against a team that was MUCH better than us.

Wrong! :ez-laugh: Per the ESPN roster on Kentucky, they "only" have two 7 footers; Of course, they also have a 6-11 and a 6-10, two 6-9 guys, a 6-8er, along with a slew of "shorter" 6-6 guys...

That team has a BUNCH of tall timber guys!!!

That would be my second choice, albeit a distant second. We only scored 18 points in the second half until a meaningless 3-pointer with a few seconds left in the game. The 1987 loss was very similar to tonight's game in regards to overall excitement. I think Iowa scored the first 5 points in OT, and we scored the next 6 before future Celtic Kevin Gamble hit that three. To date, that was the only OU Tourney loss which I stood a clapped vigorously after the loss.

The 1998 OT loss to Indiana was another loss I could stomach, but we just haven't had many of those through the years.
