Original Rookie

Behanon? He is not going anywhere. I don't think he would even get drafted. Stay in college and learn how to shoot. Not trying to rain on the parade. He played great tonight but I just don't see NBA there.

Suggesting that a kid might go to the NBA is raining on the parade? :idunno:

Congrats! Best team won. Enjoy it. A lot of ups and downs for Siva throughout his career but what a great way for him to end it.

When it is your year, it is your year.

Are you being sarcastic?

Nope. Just a prediction.

You have to take Russ out honestly.

Have to applaud Behanan's play. Have to.

Yes you do. NBA bound.

Behanan was crushed on that.

What is Russ thinking?

Free throws the difference.

Louisville is not getting every call. Blue blinders and UK isn't even playing.

They are getting the important ones though. Hancock's fourth was given to the wrong guy, next time down he draws fourth on McGary.

Haha that's the worst call I've ever seen. These officials should be fired.

You just say that because you are a UK fan :lol2:

Burke with a clean block.. This is awful

^Yes it did

Missed goal tending call may come back and be huge.

It's a foul that gets called 100% of the time.

No it isn't.

Siva ain't letting them lose.

Bet if it were anyone from UK you would have a different position.

:lol2:

The defender is allowed to leave his feet. If the offensive player initiates the contact, it's not a foul.

The one in the corner in the first half was bad, I'm okay with that call (Other than the fact that Hancock should be on the bench with four fouls)

Hancock should have four. Now McGary does. Just awful

Words can't express how bad that call on Burke is.

Looked like a missed charge on UM on that last 3.

Did you watch the replay? Would've been a miserable charge call.

^I've heard enough kenpom stats this year to make me want to jump off a bridge

If he doesn't make the NBA, he could have a future on Broadway.

Part of it is "acting" but part of it is that he really is that small. He's crafty at drawing fouls too.

It will get in their heads if it's called tight. Seen it happen 100 times. They'll feel like they can't play defense, and that will obviously hurt them. I don't think UM's guards can keep up with Russ and Peyton the whole game, so maybe they'll get in foul trouble as well.

:thumb:

It is super simplistic to analyze the game as "tight is bad for Louisville" because Louisville has Russ Smith. If the game is called like an NBA game, Russ might make 20 points on the line alone, because Michigan's D is not stout enough to stop him.

Probably because Russ looks like he gets shot every time he is touched :lol2:

Can you imagine Russ guarding Russ? Defensive Russ would foul out in the first five possessions, maybe less.
