I called Liggins as the X factor, just didn't think it would be to take Craft out of the equation. Was identical to Cronin using Bishop to shut down Siva when UC beat UL. Just a fantastic coaching move that had a major impact on the game that wasn't expected...

It was also identical to when Calipari put Liggins on Siva

And a One and a Two(Everybody join in ):

Ohio State is red

Kentucky is blue

Duke went home

So is OSU!!!!

I was doing matchups in my head... Trying to figure out if Liggins was going to guard Diebler, Buford, or Lighty... Craft never crossed my mind.

 

I guess that's why I'm a fan and not a coach.

WOW most excited as I have ever been as a UK fan.

Liggins on the offensive end was phenomenal. Diebler has never been accused of being a good defender and Liggins exposed him off the bounce.

Same. OSU had no rhythm on offensive and it was because of Liggins.

Yup...

It was up there with the football win over LSU for me. I was way to young to realize how big a title was in '96 and '98, I thought it was an every year right of passage. IF UK can just win one in the next few years I will never ask for another one the rest of my life. I just want to see one of my teams win the big one :thumb:.

This was a text a got from a friend, who is an Ohio State fan, right after the game.

 

I would rather lose to Michigan 10 years in a row. GO HEELS.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Jorts dominaed Sullinger, I don't know about anyone else but with that one stretch in the 2bd half when Jones had Sully while Harrellson was out was kilk inomes bag us, Sully dominated Jones. Jorts comes back in and game over for Sullinger. What a job Liggins did on Craft as well.

U.K. played a very smart game as well.

I have questioned him at times this season but tonight Calapari flat outcoached Matta! This U.K. team was prepared, came in with a great game plan, knew what they were to do and they executed! I am so glad to be wrong on my prediction.

 

Harrellson - 17pts....10reb....3 ast....3blk

Liggins ------15ps.................3asst....3blk

 

ELITE 8 / UNC NEXT

 

GO BIG BLUE!!!

Bufford shot terribly and had words with Liggins. Could Liggins have gotten in his head?

The 96 win was awesome, the 98 win is a little fuzzy
