Running 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament thread

They've also got the underdog mentality. Obviously, they are much better than a 12-seed. But here they are trying to prove themselves. I think it almost works to the smaller schools' advantage to be overlooked.

 

No, Mustang, they don't have underdog mentality. They have gone into the first two games EXPECTING to win.
They're not looking at Kentukcy as "Gee, we hope we can keep it close." They are a very good, talented, mature, confident bunch who have been together for four years -- and actually live together in one big house.

 

Second.

 

Exactly. They have no need to see themselves as an underdog because they know they can play with any team in the country.

Now, if you go matchup-by-matchup with them and Kentucky, Wittman against either Bledsoe or Miller would be the only one you could give to Cornell, but they're a very good TEAM, and that's what's important right now.

Plus, in talking about Kentucky's talent, people need to remember that this is a classic Calipari team, which means they can't shoot free throws for shit. That makes them very susceptible in a close game the rest of the way. They need to blow teams out, because in a tight game, I don't feel comfortable taking Kentucky (except for against WVU, where being a Huggins team mitigates any advantage the 'Neers might have).

 

I sense Cornell overexposure on the horizon. Starting to annoy me already. None of which has to do one iota with its team which is excellent.

 

Can anybody here help me out a question? And this is probably something I could find on my own, but haven't been able to with a quick search. What time are the games on Sunday? I seem to remember the Saturday games are at 440 and 710, or something like that, but can't remember for the Sunday ones. I was thinking like 220 and 450 to try and get them done before 60 Minutes, but that's just a guess.

I'm trying to make plans for Sunday and I would like to make sure what I am doing is done before the games start.

 

2:20 and 5:05 last year

 

OK. I thought it would be something like that. Thanks.

 

For what its worth, I think 60 Minutes started at 8 p.m. last night.

 

It started at 7:48, after the games ended. It was still supposed to start at 7.

 

Something to be said for a team who can actually call themselves a team, and a group of talented freshmen who are rentals.
If Cornell keeps this close at the half, there's no telling what might happen – this Kentucky team has played virtually no one all year, the team's that have actually tested them are far less cohesive than Cornell (that includes Tennessee) and when the going gets tough – Demarcus Cousins turns into Rasheed Wallace, and not in a good way.

John Wall's a freak, but when things get dicey with this team Calipari tells Daniel Orton to hit the showers, Cousins to leave the huddle and Wall to put on his superhero cape.
I don't know if Cornell gets it done, but UK will hit a snag at some point and I'd have to think it'll implode in the process.

 

The second best Hitler clip I've seen in months...
And this won't be a Cornell crowd as much as it will be an anti-Kentucky crowd. People love to see No. 1 lose. There are worse things than watching Demarcus Cousins flop in a tourney for the third-straight year,
