I think if Cornell feeds there big man early and gets Cousins into foul trouble Cornell could win walking away. Cornell is not going to get blown out they shoot too well.

That said if Cousins doesnt get into foul trouble early Kentuky should win in a shootout provided they make there free throws.


But in the end it doesnt really matter because WVU is beating either one.

You guys are undervaluing cornell I saw them beat Bama at the start of the season they are as well coached a team as you will find. The way the run their offense they will always get high quality shots and they usually make them. They have about 3 to 4 guys who can stroke it at over 40% from 3 and a legit 7 footer.

No one is underestimating Cornell. We know they're a really good team. I just done see them being able to hang with Kentucky for 40 minutes.

Look the pussy cats are good, but in a half court setting they can be beaten. They also have to make their free throws in a tight game. If Bledsoe and Miller continue knocking down shots though no one can beat them.

Without Cousins in the game UK is no better then Maryland or Xavier a team with nice role players and a dominant guard. Kentuky is a "just good" in the half court already, take Cousins away in they would be below averagein the half court just like most Calipari teams are.

Like I said either WVU is going to whoop UK or Cornells arse

YES....Cornell will give Kentucky all they want. This game is in Syracuse, New York. Cornell is located just down the road from Syracuse. This will be a home game for Cornell. This could be the first time in the tourney that Kentucky fans are in the minority. Cornell will feed off the atmosphere and energy from the Pro-Cornell crowd. I think Cornell will absolutely be ready for Kentucky!



Since I went to Kentucky, I picked them in my bracket, but I can see Cornell winning. The poster who talked about 9 out of ten is on to the key to the evaluation. When people with computers do this, they run a million simulations.
So. if they played a million times, I think Cornell only wins
127,542 times, but that is a lot. Many different scenarios would unfold, to make up those 127,000 wins.
Cornell makes their free throws and UK doesnt and that is that.
Or, in 432 of the million games, Cornell hits 8 out of 10 3's while UK misses the last 10 shots they take, including slam dunks that fly up to space after hitting the rim, to blow a 22 point lead with 4 minutes to go.
It happens. Sometimes, 'the lid is on the basket'.

I picked Cornell to get this far. That's all.
I saw some guy on ESPN had them in the final four from day 1 when they were going over the announcement of the brackets.

Even without Bryant? Plus, WVU has to beat Washington.

Seriously, who said they were unbeatable....now they are 36-2 because they are a good basketball team. They haven't been blown out by 29 this year. That's for sure.

Just saying, a statement like this might come back to haunt you, if you lose to Cornell.

nothing against UK, but i like seeing big upsets in any sport. That's not to say i wouldn't mind seeing UK win though.

Yeah I actrually like WVU when Ebanks is the primary ballhandler, he is the one that makes WVU unstopable. The injury could be one of those thing that might end up helping WVU.

It does hurt a little on D for WVU as Bryant would probable guard Wall.

WVU is a bad matchup for UW as WVU has multiple guys that can matchup with Poindexter.

They might beat the Lakers, but not the Cavs.
