Elite Eight - Saturday Games

Wisconsin vs Arizona followed by Kentucky vs Notre Dame. I'll take the #1 in each game.

The Badger are off to a decent start leading 12-8. This should be a fun game.

Dekker (not one of my favs) is really stepping up in the tourney. The combo of he and Frank may be to much for Zona.

AZ not getting the benefit on many calls either.....

Wisconsin just looks like th better team....but making seven of eight three's will do that for any team.

True. It feels like Arizona is a bit limited offensively compared to the Badgers; just not as many ways to score.

All discussion of this game needs to include the caveat that the best team in the region isn't even playing because of the refs.

I dunno, 15-20 if they got a fair shake from the refs. It's been a long time since that happened, as we all know.

Yeah, UNC would destroy both of these teams if the refs and NCAA weren't so blatantly against them.

If there was any doubt whether or not Dekker is a first-round pick he just answered that the last two games. Wow.

Let's go Notre Dame. If the Irish can hit some shots early and give themselves confidence, then this could be a game.

If they aren't going to call Kentucky for fouling at the rim, then notre dame is going to have a long night.

Nice take by Auguste. He needs to get that foul call. Of course, he got the ticky-tack one called on him at the other end.

Yep, you're right. That was an obvious foul on the block of the dunk. But Notre Dame is already showing more fight than I've seen from the last few teams to play UK. I still think if they're able to make some 3's they can hang in this game. We'll see.

Yeah, I would like to see how Kentucky handles a close game for a change. ND is not backing down.

The Irish are going to need to make a few jumpers. All in all, they're rebounding about as well as expected. Pound for pound, Connaughton is one of the toughest kids in the country.

Brey has a good game plan so far. Spread the floor, cut to the basket, and make KY's speed win out more than their size.

KY sure is getting some calls (or lack thereof when they foul).

Unbelievable. If the refs are going to call that crap then the Irish have less than zero chance to win. What's even worse is how late the whistle blew.

Auguste was eating the Wildcats lunch...and 2 sorry calls against him. That is going to hurt big time.

Towns can't believe the refs had the gall to call one on him.

Notre Dame's effort is superlative. If they had any luck, or calls, they would be ahead by 7 or 8 points at least.
