keep in mind ecn doesn't actually watch basketball

lol this

 

Anyway good game, Ohio State blew ass down the stretch, I know Thomas Robinson is guarding him but you have to get the ball to Sullinger down the stretch, especially when you got the lead. Credit Kansas for hitting their free throws when they got fouled and making good plays. LOL @ Kansas almost throwing the game away at the end too, that would have been epic fail status. Next time that kid will just hold the ball.

 

Can't wait for Tucky Kansas, Tucky has just dominated this whole NCAA tournament that MKG/Jones/Davis front court is just outstanding. Davis vs Robinson should be a fun match up. To me this tournament comes down to Marquis Teague, as long as he has a solid game and doesn't do anything stupid like take 20 shots, should be Calipari getting revenge on Kansas for that 07 nightmare :( I hate coach cal, but as a Memphis fan I got root for Tucky.

Withey was on Sully for most of the game, actually. You're probably going to see Sullinger's stock drop a bit, too, because it showed that he struggles greatly against taller defenders. Ford even mentioned this on his Twitter:

 

Sullinger was 5-for-19 tonight. Gave scouts that are concerned he can't score over length more ammunition.

In the second half, I was PRAYING for OSU to throw it into Sullinger. He was dominated tonight.

I have no doubt that Withey will play a lot versus Anthony Davis, because Self does not want Robinson trying to score against him, and Withey does not need to be involved in the offense for us to win.

 

I know all of the hype is around Robinson and Taylor, and I keep saying this...but Jeff Withey is the MVP of this Kansas team, hands down. His impact on the defensive end is incredible. I believe only two of Sully's buckets came on Withey, out of the five he made, of 19 attempts. Not even I could have predicted that.

 

KU is going to have to go nuts against UK. Robinson has to be there the entire game, and this is IT for Tyshawn Taylor. This is either Mario Chalmers, or Sherron Collins, in regards to the magnitude of this game.

How will Kansas dictate how UK matches up?

You would stick 6-9 Terrence Jones on a legitimate seven-foot Jeff Withey? I understand that Withey isn't the offensive player T-Rob is, but this is the guy that took advantage of a mismatch against Baylor, and dropped 25 points on them, 8-10 shooting and I believe 9-11 FT.

 

I would think Calipari has enough trust in Jones, thinking that he could hold Robinson and receive the help D once he gets deep enough with the ball. Jones' wingspan alone will make it a bit easier to challenge shots.

Considering Robinson is their best rebounder and scorer yeah I def would, I would trust Jones who weighs 250 not to get backed down.
