So UK is headed into the game against WVU and I’m nervous. Personally I think this is a terrible matchup for UK because WVU is so physical and we played soft against physical teams mostly this season. In addition, they still have Mazzula who torched us last year in the NCAA tournament.
UK will have to play much better to win this game. I think we should drive the ball as much as possible to draw fouls in the dribble drive offense. We must become the physical aggressor and bang on the inside with Jones and Harrelson. If UK shies away, it will be a long day for the Cats.
Bob Huggins has a dominant record of wins against Coach Cal. Coach Cal must coach a better game this year. He has to make adjustments on defense if Mazzula continuously beats us into the lane. This is something I hope Coach Calipari has improved.
One good thing to note is that UK has become a much more physical team as the season has rolled on. UK was the aggressor against teams like Ole Miss and Florida in the SEC tournament. So this may be the reason UK can win the game. Which team is tougher and more physical?
The Big East vs. The SEC. Most people would say WVU has a distinct advantage. I’m not sure because UK is peaking at the right time and this UK team is much more physical than earlier in the season. Harrelson is a brute and he’s become a real enforcer. UK will continue to get better and I think they will pull out this game actually. I think UK is the most dangerous team in the tournament right now.
Brandon Knight is the best point guard in the country right now. I know I’m biased, but this kid is completely fearless and he seems to get better and better every game. I’ll take him against anyone.
