I get saying they are going to win. What do you expect him to say? They don't play hard is stupid.

 

That was the Twins reaction.

Jay Wright is an idiot.

 

Today he said that Kentucky turns the ball over a lot. They turn it over 11 times a game. That's better than over 300 teams in Division 1, including West Virginia.

 

He then said that Arkansas played Kentucky really tough twice this season, and that West Virginia is better than Arkansas. Only a complete idiot would think Arkansas played them even remotely tough either time.

 

Must be a correlation between that and why he always underachieves with his teams in the tournament.

WVU is 283rd in 3pt FG% D and 304th in 2pt FG% D. Andrew (2 turnovers in the last 5 games) and Tyler (on pace to have the best single season A-T ratio in UK history) aren't going to cough the ball up enough to offset WVU's terrible halfcourt defense. One little tidbit, Jaysean Paige who played his senior season at Perry County Central plays for WVU averaging 5.8 points on 40% shooting.

 

I could be wrong but wasn't WVU a terrible shooting team in 2010 too and yet in the first half of that game they couldn't miss from three. In fact I believe every shot they made was from the three point line in that game. So hopefully history doesn't happen again.

I hope not again......don't believe they will as our defense is much better than 2010.

People forget that West Virginia team was the #1 2 seed, were they not? Weren't they ranked in the 5-7 range all season? This West Virginia team doesn't even compare in talent IMO.

Just looked it up. They were the 2 seed in that region with a record of 27-6 and Big East Tournament Champion. Finished 3rd in the Coaches Poll, not sure throughout the year.

Right. So in other words, worlds better than this team. That team had Devin Ebanks, Truck Bryant, Kevin Jones, and Da'Sean Butler on it. Outside of maybe Staten, all 4 of those guys would be the best player on this WV team IMO. Completely different animal.

These stats posted are defensive stats. I haven't looked at WVU's shooting percentages

Jay Wright is an idiot.

 

Today he said that Kentucky turns the ball over a lot. They turn it over 11 times a game. That's better than over 250 teams in Division 1, including West Virginia.

 

He then said that Arkansas played Kentucky really tough twice this season, and that West Virginia is better than Arkansas. Only a complete idiot would think Arkansas played them even remotely tough either time.

 

That actually explains a lot about poor Jay Wright.

According to ESPN through the regular season, UK had less turnovers per game than Nova, so I guess his team turns the ball over a lot as well.

 

As far as Arkansas the first meeting UK had then down 78-47 with 8:06 left in the game and the second meeting they lead 67-48 with 5:44 left in the game. Unless MTV is going to lower down the 25 pts. Rock N Jock baskets at the under 4:00 timeout, I don't see how this is playing them tough.

According to wrinkle head Shane Battier, Kentucky has only been pressed 5% of their possessions and turned it over around 25% of the time they were pressed. He said he couldn't wait to be on all over ESPN on Friday after WVU beat UK.

 

You'd think more people would have pressed them if they were that awful against the press...I guess other coaches were too dumb to figure it out.

I just don't know how much I believe that statistic. I'd like to see that somewhere other than coming out of Shane Battier's mouth. I remember against Arkansas press Ulis was breaking it by himself and didn't break a sweat. No chance UK turns it over 25% of their possessions tomorrow. No chance.

Because most coaches know if you try to press this team you'd get killed, minus Louisville
