I think Louisville might take it tonight

 

[1984Dawg]

and if UT beats Louisville, it's done.

 

[williecunningham]

Way too much talent in orange.

They have struggled with the jump shot at times this year. The only way they win if they can control the tempo and turn it into a physical game.

they were missing their two best players for half the year.

Healthy, they are a damn dangerous team. Ask Oklahoma.

</p>I know Padgett missed part of the year. Who was the other?

 

[MSUCostanza]

and Palacios. Both missed 11 games, I think. 1/3 of the season. If they are healthy all year, Louisville is an easy 2 seed. I think they lost to Cincinnati and Seton Hall during that stretch they were out.

 

[Coach34]

their frontline is too good for Tenn

 

[AceLeroy]

Hell..........I've got Louisville winning the whole damn thing.

 

[williecunningham]

They both played significant minutes in those games. And neither of those guys solve their jump shooting problems.

 

[williecunningham]

Speaking of frontline talent, Derrek Caracter let it be known today that he's taking his 8.5/4.5 to the NBA. Good timing Derrek.

 

[MSUCostanza]

it was BYU, Dayton and Purdue. They lost 3 of 5 in that stretch.

And UT lives and dies by the jump shot. L'ville's inside game will dominate. And they've shot 56 and 59% in their 2 tourney games.

I think Tenn. has a little more, but only a little. Pitino is better than Pearl, but I think Tennessee wins a close one.

My brackets are already destroyed, so that's not a factor for me.

 

[williecunningham]

And those numbers were put up against Boise and Oklahoma - two bad teams. Granted you don't think defense when you think of Bruce Pearl and Tennessee, but they won't shoot those kind of numbers against the Vols.

 

[williecunningham]

Tennessee laid an egg. Indiana may not be calling after all, Bruce.

 

[drunkernhelldawg]

The officials seemed a bit up against it. Louisville had the energy. Pitino is not one to bet against.

 

[Coach34]

say **** to me about predictions anymore if I were you

 

[MSUCostanza]

Louisville is just better.

 

[williecunningham]

say **** to me about predictions anymore if I were you

</p>You aren't me. I'll !*+% with you anytime I want.

 

[Coach34]

nice job tonight..your pick got blown the <17> out

 

[williecunningham]

nice job tonight..your pick got blown the <17> out

</p>And you know what it cost me? A little internet cred. Which unlike you, I could give a **** about.

 

[williecunningham]

Louisville is just better.

</p>On this particular night, they most certainly were.

The better coach and better team won tonight
